Porcello is not the best high school pitcher this year.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:21 PM) I got one thing left to say, Aaron Poreda must put up some crazy numbers this year and move through the organization fast, or else, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Seriously, does this guy not seem like Andrew Sisco part 2? Hard fastball but with no secondary stuff and some command issues. Than dont watch the team! who cares. Your not gonna watch a team cause there first round pick has a ok year in single A. Thats really being a ture fan. GO WATCH THE TIGERS THAN!!!!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:15 PM) And I don't see any problem with that. At the very least, by taking Porcello you're keeping him out of the hands of two of the better teams in the AL, the Yankees and the Tigers. And hey, if you don't sign him and he goes to play for UNC, you're drafting twice in the top 30 next year to add onto any supplemental picks from Dye, Iguchi and Buehrle. whats with the "keeping players out of other teams hands". The Sox should worry about them and no one else. YOu dont draft around what other teams are doing. What if the Sox had taken Porcello and than he ends up going to North Carolina next year. The Tigers than draft someone else who goes to the hall of fame. Than what. Its insane to think thats how teams draft.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:08 PM) Josh Smoker is still available as well? He would have been a much better pick. You might be right, but how do you know that. I mean how can ou tell which is going to be better in three years.

when does the next round start?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 03:55 PM) So we're going to start mocking a team for what they do in the playoffs? I don't get this line of thinking by some on here. The Tigers are one of our main competitors....we didn't want them to add another top-line talent. It has nothing to do with that. Its a bunch of people on here who get certain players stuck in there head and when the team dosent take them everyone gets pissy cause they didnt take "their" guy. When none of us know who's the better pitcher. Cause we dont scout for months and months. We read a blog online. We've never gone and seen these guys pitch.

Go watch the Tigers and all their great pitchers than. Watch as they go to throw to 3rd base and air mail it.

how does anyone know Procello is better than Poreda?

The Giants are gonna have a sick roation in a few years.

Isnt there usually more pitchers taken in the first round?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 02:23 PM) Not only Porcello, but for Main or Smoker. Perhaps Matt Harvey. It'd be devastating if we miss our projected player because of one more victory than the the preceding team. That's why I said before, any victory made after we were out of contention last season is one less opportunity to draft our player. Look at 2002 and Cole Hamels; we selected right afterwards. Draft position is huge, and can easily change a team's future. tell that to the Devil Rays.

he aint playin 1b for the brew crew either.

who needs a third baseman bad?

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 02:28 PM) ok lets say fields is doing awesome and is turning out to be a great major league player, but crede comes off the DL. do they send fields back down, or send cintron down? well I dont think we could trade Crede, at least for anything good, with his current back situation. I think Cintron should be let go or sent down. If his D was great, id like to keep him, but its not.

Fields is gonna rock.

For the Yankees having a 200 million dollar payroll they sure do have a lot of pitchers from their farm system. 100. tonight.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 12:13 PM) At least Desalvo sucks ass, even our s***ty offense can get to him. He's only gonna pitch to one batter. Than the Yankees will go to the bullpen. Than we are doomed.

Sox go up 15-3. Than bullpen comes in and... Yankees - 23 Sox - 15

I see AJ walking 5 tonighy. Sox - 5 Blue Jays - 2

for those of you who think the season is over, I'll take your tickets. Way to back your team. Its makes me sick. Im glad i was never on a team with most of you. Down 1-0 in the first inning. I QUIT. ITS OVER. WAHAHAHAH. bunch of babies.

Wow. You'd almost think that you were on a I hate the sox message board. How about we just end the team and knock down the stadium. Its seems like everyone on here would be happy than.

we dont need a juggernaut. All we need is bullpen pitchers that throw strikes. They dont all have to be that good. just three. Just throw strikes.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ May 30, 2007 -> 03:26 PM) Ozzie brought in DA instead of Jenks, he gets the glory and sure as hell gets the blame! So it has nothing to do with the fact that are offense doesnt score past the 3rd inning, that Jon Garland walked 5 batters, that Mac loaded the bases in the 9th or the error in the ninth. We have to be able to trust any of our bullpen to win games in tight spots. You cant always depend on one guy.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ May 30, 2007 -> 03:16 PM) You're nuts it is not just today this has been along time coming, I do not give a s*** about just today! Alright lets fire Ozzie tomorrow. Than who coaches the team!!! Than what if the coach goes 3-2. FIRE HIM!!!!!!!! FIRE!!! FIRE!!!!!!. its just dumb and unrational.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ May 30, 2007 -> 03:10 PM) Fire f***ing Guillen today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!2006 is OVER people! This Regime away!!! this Chicago sports mentality "fire the coach. fire the coach!! It's really old and tired. If Mac and Ardsma strike out everyone they face, ozzies a god.
