QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:20 PM) I'm hearing that the White Sox think "Mitchell has the highest upside of anyone in the draft", and that the A's had rated the kid highly. i assume that is really supposed to say "as high as any position player in the draft", or "outside of strasburg"

yep...im gonna say it cuz i know I'm not the only one thinking it....and people might torch me for saying this...but i think kenny williams gives preferential treatment to black players

a buddy of mine who is a good contact tells me the sox really like brothers if hes there

our inability to retool our own farm system/develop players via the draft IMO is probably the biggest reason why we haven't sustained the success we had in 2000 and 2005 over the course of the last 10 years...

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 11:30 AM) this has always struck me as odd, but what difference does it make if the guy is jewish or not? who was the last latvian orthodox sox player?? which part of the religion is most appealing to you? -I'd have to say the hats. They convey that very pious look that you want in a religion.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 11:03 AM) We are 4 games out of first at the beginning of June. KW is not trading our best players right now. For christ sake he just traded for Jake Peavy a month ago. He might not be happy with this team but he isnt going to give up on the season just yet. yeah i dont think a fire sale is coming for sure....if we win the 3 remaining vs. the tigers we are what 1.5 out? now if we get swept in those 3 and are 7.5 back...thats a different story

didn't even take a bad hop

getz bunting assumes wise or fields will drive him in....we can always hope i suppose

finally we caught one of his hangers

we are.... 1.) Bad offensively 2.) Bad defensively 3.) Inconsistent in the rotation 4.) A dumb baseball team Tough to win given those things...thank god for the bullpen so far

look at the hanging slider right on the middle of the plate....foul off a hittable one...and swing and miss at the 58 foot one in the dirt...nice pauly

claytons a 1 pitch pitcher right now.....this isn't going to end well

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 01:52 PM) As an overall package. ah...then i agree

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) Alexei >>>> Uribe. defensively? I disagree entirely

theres 0 chance Tyler Flowers could be worse defensively than AJ

when your team isn't that talented, and you don't do the little things right...you're in for a long year

who is going down after the game when contreras is activated? Whisler i assume, right?

if its not right in front of AJ...he doesn't block it

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:28 PM) So Nick Masset...yeah, he looks fantastic. 95 mph fastball, 89 mph splitter, big curve yeah i was impressed....he showed flashes while here but was never consistent with it...i actually really liked his 2 seamer he used to throw too..92-93 with some nice late action haha nice throw fontenot

that was a strike when it crossed the plate....that was nasty

im fine with jenks as the closer....but i personally think Thornton is the better pitcher

5 of the 7 hits today were from lefties off of lefties....go figure
