fathom

Great AB by Gillaspie. Like seeing him drive the ball when up in the count.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 17, 2013 -> 04:00 AM) I agree that it was dumb and he's been dumb on the basepaths, but I think you're the only one here that saw any possibility there except him getting out If he stays close to 1st, he's possibly able to get back.

Interesting that Angels aren't playing Konerko to pull the fastball. In the past, that's a single up the middle for Konerko.

When Hawk announces with Wimpy, it's cool how Hawk acts like a proud papa of all the Sox players and brags to Wimpy about their contributions.

QUOTE (MAX @ May 17, 2013 -> 02:51 AM) Bad luck on a hard hit ball. Either way its a double play. Considering you're not going to beat the play at 2nd, your best bet is to stay close to 1st in case he catches it.

Rios bomb!

De Aza is a terrible base runner.

Rios with some great throws this week!

I don't recognize this #14 from the last decade. His swing doesn't look anything similar to how he used to be.

Phegley 2-2 with a double, up to .339

Area scouts have an idea if a player might be using PEDs, especially in high school.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20130516 Another steal for Johnson. Beck with an awful first inning, continuing the trend of the starting pitching struggles.

Mayo has the Sox taking an OF as well, but it seems like no one has been able to specifically state the Sox are looking at a particular player http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...lb&c_id=mlb

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 16, 2013 -> 09:14 PM) Hell, it could be just referring to any time next season. Maybe he'll be back by the playoffs. Watch Shumpert require another knee surgery and still return before him.

It seems like a lot of analysts aren't sure what to expect from the Sox this year due to Hahn being "in charge".

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 16, 2013 -> 07:03 PM) You gotta wonder if upper management has any loyalty to Jake knowing that he signed that deal at below market to stay in Chicago? I suppose I could see them going to him and getting a list of teams he'd be willing to play for but just shipping him off after he signed that deal to stay here would probably not send the best signal to future free agents... It sounds like Peavy would be willing to accept a trade anywhere if that team was in contention.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 16, 2013 -> 05:16 PM) Keith Law has the Sox taking Jacksonville RHP Chris Anderson. 6'4 225 lbs. Law mentions that he has also heard the Sox linked to Gonzaga LHP Marco Gonzales but mentions that it seems too early to take him. Anderson seems like a solid pick. Fastball up to 95mph with 3 above average pitches supposedly. He's pitched really well as the season has gone on, including a few 13 strikeout games. It's too bad he didn't get to face FSU or Florida when Jacksonville played them.

Keith Law has a mock draft up also, but I'm not an ESPN insider.

Sickels has us taking an outfielder: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2013/5/16/4...-sickels-may-16

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 16, 2013 -> 01:06 AM) Even Semien was below .300 last time I checked. Hard-pressed to find any really positive stories, other than Erik Johnson. And Phegley. Impressive: 1- E. Johnson 2- Phegley 3- M. Johnson 4- Beck 5- Jaye Disappointing: 1- Rienzo 2- Mitchell 3- K. Walker 4- C. Sanchez 5- Hawkins There have definitely been some positives with the farm system so far this year, but the disappointing players were the higher ranked guys coming into the year for the most part.

Bassitt with a nightmare start. Pitching struggling a bit in the minors.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 15, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) shhh dont question it. MLB might reverse the result Who am I kidding, MLB doesnt reverse anything Awesome post!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 15, 2013 -> 08:10 PM) The Astros are horrid. 2 BB and a HBP to load the bases. Veras pulling the old Ricky Vaughn move of "I want Cabrera"

Stay hot Dunn

Tosh.O made fun of D. Rose not playing last night as well. That e-mail is awesome jake!
