QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 29, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) Don't read too much into a rehab assignment. My guess is Uribe is our 2B and Ramirez is the utilityman again. Uribe has more power than Alexei and hits for about the same average. Alexei has my vote to stay with the big team though. Well, Ramirez has been playing very well since he's had regular at bats not to mention he just struggled adjusting to the major league game. Not saying Ramirez is the answer but he has an upside at this point which Uribe just doesn't.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 28, 2008 -> 09:13 PM) The White Sox do NOT have an aging lineup, nor do they have no young talent and no end in sight in their lineup. Look at our roster next year. There are, by my count, 3 positions out of nine where we don't have a young guy that we could put in to the lineup if we chose not to upgrade. Catcher, 1b, and DH. We have 3+ young outfielders in SuperQ, Anderson, Swisher, and Owens if you want to count him. We have a young 3rd baseman in Fields. In the middle infield, we have Ramirez, Richar, and Getz who can all fill holes. On top of that, our starting rotation right now has 2 young guys, a 3rd pretty close to ready in Broadway, we've got a young closer, and we keep developing decent young relief pitchers in addition to the couple guys we signed. It's amazing how much the future of this organization looks completely different than it did last year. We have pieces and a few very good ones to build around now.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 28, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) It's weird how this team has a reputation for being old when really they are just slow as hell. I don't think any major change should happen at all this season unless the team completely blows up. Adding a 2B should be the biggest thought that's even considered at this point in time. There's absolutely no reason for this team to have a major change. We're a tweak or two away imo...

The kid is good. That's the extent of my hockey knowledge.

A few weeks ago I would say a 2b is definite. At this point, I think we have to let Alexei play a little bit and see what we have there. If not a 2b then it couldn't hurt to find a lefty bat for the bench. Besides that I really think you just have to wait and hope that Thome, PK and Swish start to play like themselves.

Gotta love this bullpen!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

This isn't going to end well, is it?

Well that's not a good start.

Lets get some insurance for the fat man.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 27, 2008 -> 06:25 PM) q fouled one off the ground and it came up and hit his junk That can't feel good.

What happened? I swear if they hit Q, they're done!

QUOTE (RME JICO @ May 27, 2008 -> 02:37 PM) Seattle is already 12.5 games out and would need a miracle to make the playoffs. I am sure they are open to offers (Lopez). Why would we want Jose Jopez?

Pitching great, CQ is the man. Might as well just copy and paste that into every winner thread.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 25, 2008 -> 07:18 PM) I am speechless on how stupid that was. You have an offense that is struggling, you get into scoring position and then pull that stunt. Dumb. Now CQ has to bat with the bases open. Looks like he has to do everything again.

That was dumb.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 25, 2008 -> 07:11 PM) Morgan has brought up a very astute point regarding Jose Contreras telegraphing his fastball when he drops sidearm. 90% of the time that is all he's throwing from that arm slot and I'm surprised we haven't seen him throw more changeups out of that spot (to at least ensure hitters have to stay honest). For the most part he hasn't gotten too sidearm happy, but I've noticed it a bit more from him tonight. Luckily he's had pretty damn good command as well as velocity. He's really looking good. His forkball is just nasty again as well.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 25, 2008 -> 11:47 AM) I invented the "Zoom Zoom Zoom." Liar.

Edinson Volquez is by far my favorite Non White Sox pitcher to watch pitch right now. His stuff is absolutely SICK.

QUOTE (rangercal @ May 24, 2008 -> 03:43 AM) Maybe because every time Tyrus shot over 50% he got BENCHED the next day. Kind of confusing for a 20 year old. I want to see Tyrus have consistent minutes before I decide what he is. The same crap happened with Tyson when he was here.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) Looks like I gave the Spurs WAYYYYYYY too much credit. I guess there's a reason they've never repeated. Don't count them out yet, that series will go 7, just watch. And Palehose, I don't ever see Westbrook becoming a legit pg in the NBA, I just don't. And as far as athleticism, ya he might be able to jump as high as Rose but he's not as quick. Westbrook definitely has some high potential, I don't think he'll reach that though, not as a pg.

Quentin has been one of the top power hitting prospects in baseball for a while now, it's not like his power came out of no where. And great, he's passed his career highs in his 3rd season when he's been injured the majority of his first two.

I got a feeling that a Carlos Quentin jersey is going to be a hot commodity very soon.
