QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) Oh, stop it. You know it won't. Kenny and Ozzie are just gonna put this thing into cruise control, keeping both McCarthy and Walker on the roster until after the all-star break. It's ok. Marte has been a non-factor as of late and McCarthy has kept us in a position to win games. We'll survive. Yeah, you know what you're right. I guess I'm just kind of upset Baj or Jenks didn't get a chance just cause they don't throw with their left hands, this team does have 52 wins, I think I should just have faith in the organization. I still think it's the wrong move but I'll have faith.

This move is all ozzie, he loves playing the matchup bulls*** so he needs another lefty. Baj or Jenks deserve a promotion so much more then Walker it's ridiculous, actually if they wanted a lefty why not Munoz??? Well, hopefully this doesn't bite us in the ass.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) What the Yanks past has to do with us trading away the farm now, like they did over the past 2 years, I fail to see. No more to my comments. I see no need to play the 2 year old tap dance game. They've put them self in a s***ty situation that's for sure. They're stuck at this point, not many prospects and a ton of crappy contracts that they're stuck with.

QUOTE(Beastly @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) And that is what I've been saying. If the right deal comes about, then you pull the trigger. Reed was never going to live up to be that good. Any prospect has got a shot, but I'd want to trade them for pieces to win often, and win now. What do you mean Reed won't live up to his potential?? I think Reed right now is doing exactly what a lot of us expected him to do, Reed's a good solid player.

QUOTE(Beastly @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) Agreed. I only want him up here because he was decent in our bullpen for a year last year. But seriously, we all got hung up on Royce Ring, Kris Honel, Joe Blow, Mike Morse and Jeremy Reed. They will never live up to the numbers they put down at the minor league level. I will never see Jeremy Reed be that good. And for the old timers, they want to win. They don't give a flying f*** about guys at AAA...wouldn't you rather win a series and deal some prospects to get the pieces that are essential to put yourself over the top. Reed is good though, that trade was a steal for the Sox cause Freddy is a top of the line starter and you have to realize all the stars in this league were once minor leaguers, you just don't trade minor leaguers to trade them, if a deal makes sense then hell yeah you don't hold back but just cause they haven't proven anything doens't mean they won't in the future.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:29 AM) I think Adkins should come up. He has proven himself able to pitch in the majors. Hell, bring Baj and Adkins up, and try to get rid of Vizcaino. He is absolutely brutal. You say this after probably his best outing of the year, lets give viz a couple more outings and see if he's straigtened himself out or if yesterday was just an abberation.

I like Granger and Diogu.

Ah good an easy win for Duke Just playin greasy, Indiana is going to have an excellent team this year.

AJ imo has been the MVP of this team though there are a lot of candidates for that distinction but AJ is a huge reason for this teams success.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 07:44 AM) its funny cuz farmer and melton both raved about how well viz threw. melton said he hadnt seen the 2 seemer viz threw tonight since last year in milwaulkee, and farmer said he had a great slider workin....i missed him pitching tho so i cant give my two cents. just sayin what the experts said The sinker he was throwing last night was moving all over the freakin place, that thing was nasty. I just hope he uses it more. Right now I'd take a wait and see with Viz and I really wouldn't touch Shingo. Shingo's back and we all know how good the guy is, it's like we just added a stud reliever to the pen imo with shingo. I'm not convinced on Viz yet however he did look good yesterday so instead of getting rid of the guy I'd like to see him pitch some more and see if he can revert back to what he's done the past few years.

Hopefully Freddy can go atleast 7 strong, hand the ball over to Dam for the 8th and Hermy for the 9th with a lead, there the script is written.

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) The White Sox cut ties with Lee and Magglio Ordonez over the winter, and Konerko is eligible for free agency at the end of the season. There has been some talk that Konerko is also heading for a new home, but look for the Sox to lock up the 29-year-old first baseman. I hope not. He's going to get far to much money and he just isn't worth it. I'd rather give Ross or Rogo a shot and use the money elsewhere but that's jmo. Meanwhile the sox got the best record in baseball and who cares about the offseason

QUOTE(Yoda @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 08:49 AM) Anyone notice how he got ahead of the count on a lot of the batters? That will get the trust from a lot of fans. Shingo is still a favorite of mine and I would love to see him in the 9th inning once again. That should and will be Dustin's job until he does something to lose it. It'll be nice though just to have shingo available to use in a big spot or if Hermy does need a day off or if he goes on bereavment shingo can close some games out again.

Shingo's back. For his past 5-6 outings he's been getting his junk over and keeping his fastball down, oh yeah throwing first pitch strike as well. It's so nice to get Shingo back because it's like we just add a stud reliever down in that bullpen, I'm so excited to have the shingo of old back in the pen.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 10:06 PM) It's impossible to argue with Baj being the next guy called up but I wouldn't doubt that the Sox will bring up Jenks before him. The Sox were going to move Jenks up to Charlotte but pulled back on the move. I'm thinking they are going to promote him straight from AA when time comes. I wouldn't mind seeing either one up, just not Walker. Agreed with everything you said.

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) Anyone intersted in trading for Furcal of Atlanta and moving Uribe to 3rd base No.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) Dude c'mon, If your gonna add something to the thread, say something knowledgeable. Yes, I was exxagurating....what? Am I going to be shunned from society? :headshake Rowand44, yes, his numbers are very odd but it attests to the team he plays for. 20 HR and only 39 RBI is funny but his high ass OBP is the funniest. He doesn't get many people on base in front of him. I know why they're all messed up. It's just quite interesting to look at 'em down the line for me.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) Then there not neagle... That was so uncalled for, this thread needs a disclaimer now :puke

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) I didn't know he walked so much!?! s***, if thats the case, give them BMac AND PK! His numbers are actually kind of funny to look at. .242 ba, .386 obp, 20 homers, 39 rbi's.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 09:23 PM) Isn't he originally a 1B? And, corner OF too, right? I don't care if we have to give up two of our top prospects, if he's available at the end of this season -- meaning, didn't get traded at the deadline -- Kenny ought to be doing everything in his power to get Dunn. Hell, get the Mets involved and send Konerko to the Mets to make it a three way deal. Not many players excite me like Adam Dunn does. He's so, so good. He's played first plenty of times, that's not an issue.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) Umm Umm Umm.... Dunn on the block. Josh Fields + Brandon McCarthy. There's a start. Take Sean Tracey too. :drool :drool :drool at Adam Dunn. Keith, I highly doubt Dunn gets a look this year, Pauly won't be moved and the outfield is just to deep right now. However I think Kenny will take a long look at him in the offseason, I'd love to have Adam as well.

Wow, Daigle is redunkulous right now.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) Probably partly because BAJ posts here. No, it's because he's absolutely been dominate playing in a freakin bandbox at charlotte. His numbers weren't great when he was up here but he didn't get hit hard at all, the guy can pitch period. He just deserves an opportunity.

UNf***IN REAL!!!!!!!! You can't even say enough about the bullpen tonight, they were awesome. Anyone else exhausted??

YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I'm exhausted.
