QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 02:00 AM) If you're a pro prospect you'd make all-conference in the Chicago area. I can promise that. Haha well...I've seen otherwise even down here in the boonies

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 06:46 AM) So he's Brent Morel. I'm not convinced that Brent is elite defensively. When he was healthy I felt like it was something more along the lines of "above average" If we're going to trade for someone who is a good glove maybe no bat third baseman, I want his defense to be better than Morel's

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) He wasn't even first-team all-conference. The poor kid thinks he is an actual pro prospect by some of those quotes. I don't know the first thing about this kid, but all-conference teams tend to be 50% BS

Motion looks a hair toned down from what I remember.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) The only positive I can think of is this has to be Stewart's last stand right? right? I mean if he gets shelled that should show it's time for him to get sent down. If he goes 5 and gives up like 2-3 runs and the Sox can score then that's great.... Unless he pitches out of his mind/Danks is never healthy again, he's probably the odd man out regardless

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) Matt Thornton is a bad pitcher. Matt Thornton gave up two soft liners to left field

If it was 3 righties batting in the 9th I look at it completely differently.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) You also have to love the high fastball pitch selection to Rivera there in a sac fly spot. You can thank Mark Parent for that

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) Especially when our closer is so god awful That's a stretch

Quintana should have gotten at least 1 hitter. Matchups and bad luck got Reed here.

Bad managing

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 03:04 PM) Yes, you have been suggesting he move to a starting role for quite some time. Being thrown into the fire like this may not be ideal, but hopefully he capitalizes. The team he's facing is something like a good AAA team

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) I, unlike most, actually think Zach can succeed as a MLB starter. So I am not disappointed with the notion at all. It's pretty clear pushing him into the mop-up role is not one he is going to flourish in right now, so try him in a different role. If he fails at that, then they can put him in Charlotte as a starter. I think Kenny reads my posts. I was suggesting Zach start in the game thread last night.

You can't argue with how often he's been able to take the hill. I consider that durable and reliable. I don't expect him to compete for any Cy Young awards, but I think by the end of this deal we'll believe we did the right thing. And Mark Buehrle was my favorite White Sox.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 11:00 AM) They need to throw in Castro to make that a fair deal Fidel?

Excited to see Zach get a chance. Someone let him know that the Cubs f***ing suck. Maybe the Cubs want Stewart? Stewart for Dempster, fair deal

OVA! ADDISON LIVES

lol, thx for that call on 0-1

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:21 AM) Game, season, career, life on the line right here 66.666666% of the way to a life saving appearance

Big test for Addison here. Game and season situation make this a very difficult yet important save.

In what situation does Zach Stewart pitch? If we score 4 runs this inning?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:04 AM) There's already a minor leaguer that's 80/96 stealing bases this year. That seems like a lot. link or it didn't happen QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) The more salary they eat they will want one. He's a FA at end of season right? Money can't be a big limiting factor for anyone looking to pick him up

AJ 2.0

Juan Uribe has made a living having some of the worst, most selfish at bats of any player

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:01 AM) No thanks with regards to trading him I don't WANT to, but it may be the lesser of evils if you say that we must acquire a somewhat big ticket player
