QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) LMAO! They are becoming the Blackhawks. A legit up and coming team? I dont understand your comment.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 03:54 PM) I think it's fair to say we're fairly weak there prospect-wise. AA - Javier Castillo A+ - CJ Retherford A - Logan Johnson Nice players, but... If Morel ends up in Kanny, Johnson will probably move back to 2B which probably makes more sense for him anyway. Logan is a def 2B. I think we have a good shot at signing Danks because I think KW jr will sign for 2 dollars and a new car.

All of a sudden this kid just picked up a few million more fans of him. Thats pretty sweet.

he has just a plain ol line drive swing. These guys seem to love him. he scores a run there on a single to left. G-beck is the man!!!

2 run double by G-Beck

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 11:43 AM) ^^ Damn you! Some dude just got drafted from North Pole HS in Alaska. Sweet. Drafted right out of Santa's workshop

This dude pitching for NC state could strike out quite a few guys on the Sox right now with that junk

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 11:28 AM) Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, I actually find the Downers Grove South teams to be weak---the football program has become a joke. When Belskis goes, that program is going to be down the toilet. I went to North, hence the comment from me.

High Risk pitching picks in these rounds? I like it.

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) How would you know? I said it in jest, but I grew up in DG.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) His swing reminds me of Wil Cordero. I cant recall the finer points of his swing.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 11:14 AM) Hit into a DP first time up. Horrible pick...... He is really up on the plate. Im more excited to see his fielding skills. I know if I played a game a day after I was drafted 8th in the MLB, I would go 0-fer and probably make 10 errors.

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 11:09 AM) I covered Dubler when he was at Downers Grove South. He's a solid ball player---too bad his brother is a pansy that I should have beat up in middle school. I think it's funny that I reacted how I did when I saw Kevin's name---but he's good. He's on the list of solid athletes from DGS. Look for Brian Riegler or Jared Culver to make it big somewhere in baseball (and possibly football for Culver). DGS is weak like the Ukraine

He's on ESPN right now.

Logan breaking out of his slump, nice.

f***in rapid fire now

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 10:42 AM) Recent article about Dubler: I actually covered Dubler when he was a freshman at ISU. Didn't put up huge number but was a solid college catcher and the program thought very highly of him. Repin DG Holla!!!

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 12:37 AM) How does this all add up and translate into a D+? I totally agree with the F for the KW Jr. pick, but c'mon....D+ overall?? Negative attitudes skew everything.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 10:53 PM) Throw sliders to Soriano, inside fastballs to Theriot (with your 2nd baseman playing him like he's a pull lefty), and sliders to Soto. I do like the Cubs having Soto, Edmonds, and Derosa batting in order. The PEDs boy should be their nickname. Soto cant recognize inside sliders very well and changes low. DLEE's numbers have started coming back to earth, waiting on A-ram's and Theriot's slump. Dempster started to show what kind of a pitcher he normally is. Bottom line on Comcast today said "Dempster to go deep" I guess they meant not even 6 innings? And why would you use up the least stretched out pitcher on the staff?

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) They had a little fight in the dugout around the 5th inning. I only saw a replay of it and heard the Rays announcers talking about it. Although, when I say fight, it was more of a shove and they had to be separated. Also over at SoSH. They have this to say..."Replay shows that Manny actually gave Youk a backhand and a shove before being restrained." http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?showtop...p;#entry1608888 ESPN's view: It was just a little misunderstanding, not a big deal. Ozzie and OCAB and KW's situation, not physical like this one, not people being restrained like this one, but OURS was a rift in the clubhouse. ESPN is such a f***ing homer TV network its gay.

QUOTE (gosox41 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 10:29 PM) I'm still here. And nothing has been proven to me. Sure he's made some great movesm but his love affair with slow, one dimensional aging power hitters boggles my mind. Did you see who he drafted today? I think he understands that weakness. Check out Q, and Alexei.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) Beckham projects as a very nice, solid MLB player who should have a solid career, but he is not the 2nd coming of A-Rod, not in this life time or any other. I LIKE the pick a lot, but lets let the kid face minor league pitching before annointing him anyone's replacement who is currently on the MLB roster. Luckily we have zero middle infielders as good of a player as A-rod. So he only has to be better than another Alexei, and probably Richar, which is most definitely doable.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 08:45 PM) I never said I was a better or worse scout then other people. It's in my opinion about these two guys. Other have different opinions. I could very well be wrong. God knows I've had my fair shares of being wrong. I don't see what the big deal about ME having an OPINION is. No there isnt. There are plenty of off the wall opinions out there. But I wasnt saying you shouldnt have one, I was merely saying that although you have one, its probably not nearly as informed as the scouts who say otherwise.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 07:41 PM) Depends on how our middle infielders go before then. If he dominates high A this season and rakes in AA the beginning of next year, theres no reason he wont be up. As much as we hope Alexei and Richar will be studs, Beckham should be better than both.
