QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Want Griset soooo bad...especially if Huddy is traded. THIS. And Grimes too, commitment or not.

Wow. This thread has legs. From J4L's good-natured rant to the late argument of Crede. Meanwhile the Sox keep grinding. Keep it going guys.

I would agree on getting as much pitching as possible, especially IF Daniel Hudson is traded.

GIMME MORE ORTON!!!

Sounds like Rios is trying to do too much. Or thinking too much.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 26, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) Interesting. I get the impression from the data (if I'm reading it right) that he should have thrown fewer changeups and more sliders. Back to somebody's earlier comment about Clayton Richard... CR had similar issues in his first several starts. Could only get 1-2 pitches across the plate with consistency... MLB hitters wouldn't bite on his offspeed stuff... got behind in counts... had to throw the fastball. Got slapped around. But what Hudson has going in his favor... much better late movement on his pitches. That usually translates into good results if a guy can find the plate consistently. And Hudson's history suggests he will eventually. It's just hard to watch most young pitchers struggle in the transition to the majors. Especially in this day and age of expecting this NOW and patience in general is usually tossed out the door. It would be a shame if Hudson gets traded.

The first 13 min of Raw is a yawner. Cena and Jericho on who is the big kahuna.

Great move by the Halos, although they get a ton of Haren's salary on their books now. Have no idea what the Diamondbacks were thinking of not asking for a better quality of prospects than what they received.

I remeber seeing the highlights on NBC 5 there in Chicago on that day. Wow. Chaos ensues.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) Does anyone know the details pertaining to Zach Kayne's retirement from pro ball today?!?!?! Nothing yet. http://www.theledger.com/article/20100725/APS/1007250774 Weird that this was a writeup just 20 days ago. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2010/07/0...timidators.html

The choice...Luke Scott or Jack Cust?

Bumpidy. His trade value just ticked up. 2 HRs yesterday. Love that OBP.

Wow, poor Benny, just can't stay healthy.

This. I would love to see this lineup sometime soon. Pierre LF Beckham 2b Rios CF Konerko 1b Quentin RF Pierzynski C Ramirez SS Vizquel 3b Viciedo DH

Just saying...I love me some Lance Berkman, even though his stats are down. Switch hitter than can play both OF and 1b. Very valuable.

I saw the name of this thread and my gut reaction was...not now. Morel was just promoted to AAA and it took him a couple of weeks to get comfortable at the plate. If the Sox were out of the playoff race, then I could see promoting Morel for 3rd, shifting Viciedo to 1st and either trading Quentin or Konerko, whichever one stays assumes the DH position. But, the Sox are still in 1st so I would let Morel continue to gain experience in AAA. Just wondering...why does Ozzie insist on giving Kotsay ABs, and Viciedo sit? Really, would we be losing more with Viciedo at DH than Kotsay?

So as of today, the White Sox have signed 32 of their 50 picks. Besides Grimes and Terry as the last remaining top 10 round picks yet to sign, who else should the Sox identify to add to their minor league teams?

Great Falls won today, linky: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/ar...sp&sid=t581

Just asking....when does an AAP close when a player gets to the bigs?

Good to see Blackwood doing good so far! Keep it up!!!

Need to get this seriously updated... Nevin has been on the DL due to a back injury since June 10th. Linky: http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/r...ses/?id=4026628 Stats Wins - 4 Losses - 2 ERA - 3.11 IP/H/BB/SO - 63.2/61/27/41 Was named to the Carolina League All Star Team before the injury.

Morel with a solo shot, but the Knights trail Norfolk 3-1, 6th inning. Harrell doing OK.

Nice writeup of the Dash, and some of their players. http://www2.journalnow.com/content/2010/ju...eing-here/news/

TS3 = CLASSIC. Saw a few guys shed some tears at the end. Kind of dark though in some spots.

Probably in the next few days/weeks....just a hunch. He's having a great year for the Sox NOT to notice. Once some of the draftees sign then some manuvering should take place.
