QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) Phil Rogers ‏@philgrogers 4m4 minutes ago Research by Baseball America shows 21 players drafted by @whitesox in big leagues. Only five organizations have more. What? Really?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) I now refer to our acquisition of Samardzija as the Michael Ynoa trade. We gave up four pretty good prospects for Ynoa and a draft pick next June. If we play our cards right, that pick at #26 could be huge to the future of the organization. We will now have $5.5 million to spend in the first 26 picks of the draft.

QUOTE (SnB @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) Lot B? I've had my worst parking experiences in that lot. Any of the lots on the south side of the stadium are the way to go. Scratch that. I meant Lot A. Especially if you get there really early, it is a straight shot back on to the Ryan to Indiana. Yeah B sucks because they take you back through the neighborhood all of the way to 31st.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 02:47 PM) It always seemed like his release point affects his command but he's usually good. I always thought he had a weird release He throws like a javelin thrower. But then again, I am guessing that odd release point is part of what makes him hard to hit.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) Hmm...didn't think he would leave that early, must be getting told he's a mid round pick or something. ESPN Stats & Info Retweeted SportsCenter Ulis: school-record 7.0 APG in 2015-16; went from mid-2nd rd pick to mid-1st rd in the last month, acc. to Chad Ford

Jon Tayler ‏@JATayler 4m4 minutes ago Jeff Samardzija today: 60 pitches, four swings and misses.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) He had a lower body injury I thought they said. From the day it happened. http://wgntv.com/2016/03/17/blackhawks-goa...er-body-injury/

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 01:37 PM) Next up... 2016 Birmingham Barons (Class AA) These guys are loaded. 11 of the Top 30 prospects on one club. Should be fun to watch. But note the position change on the infield - that was unexpected. Probably not permanent though. If only Keon Barnum hadn't been a bust to this point.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 01:19 PM) Q said "day-to-day". Crawford has been "day-to-day" for 23 days now with a head injury too. Q said this guy is also day to day.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 01:17 PM) Interesting that David Holmberg is back in the organization. Wow. He really spiraled out once he hit AAA. Hopefully the Sox can fix him. He is only 23.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:45 PM) Not 100% true but its not a good sign. Dude has a history of concussions and he could be out several weeks if thats what it is. Like I said, it probably means... I am not pretending to be the authority, but I can also look at 1+1 and figure it out.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:16 PM) Indeed. Didn't make it last night. May need a nap after work tonight. I was out after the 7th inning GIDP.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:04 AM) Well to be fair, there are still four undefeated teams that haven't played a second game yet. I'm sure a couple of those teams will go to 2-0 also. Don't you rain on my parade.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 11:08 AM) Hawks call up Bickell It isn't as much that they called up Bickell, it is that this means Anisimov is probably out for a period of time to necessitate this move.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) Well, to be honest, I think this is largely fine. We ask these people about a large range of topics, many of which will never change. But there's also a possibility that an event could occur pushing something to the forefront, and it's a worthwhile exercise to know where they stand on it. I don't think Sanders necessarily needs to have a fully fleshed out single payer system, that doesn't bother me. This bothers me more. If you are going to basically accuse all of your contemporaries of being in the pocket of big banks, and that wall street is by its very nature corrupt, and then can't speak beyond platitudes on that, that's almost...insincere! That almost seems like something a politician would do. I can't see Warren stumbling over that stuff. Also, I love how the interview seems to push that, hey, maybe dodd frank actually does things. "How would you do this" "well I would use Dodd Frank"...Dodd Frank, the useless piece of legislation bought and paid for by banks and pushed by corporate democrats? Here is my problem with this specific situation. Sanders has made this a central theme to his campaign. His campaign commercials during the Illinois primary mentioned this specifically as one of the things he was going to do. We aren't talking about a random gotcha question here. This is a central plank in his platform. This is some Donald Trump type stuff.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) 2 years in DSL. Time for move to AZL? Now 19. I don't see how he isn't in a US based rookie ball team this year.

The Sox also use Albers more as a long man in this pen set up, which is why he doesn't throw late. 13 of his 30 appearances were for more than 1 inning.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:56 AM) I think I'm the only one that would rather pay the $20 and park in White Sox lots. Yeah, give me the easy out of Lot B any day.

Rodon might be the biggest key to this season. We know what we are going to get from Sale and Q. We also know what we are going to get from John Danks, and we aren't expecting much from Latos. If Rodon can make the push towards ACE, this rotation is incredible.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 11:11 PM) National polls are so meaningless right now. I've said it over and over in this thread. Reagan never won a national poll til May yet won 44 states, Romney and McCain were winning in Mayish yet both got destroyed etc. But really these national polls are even more meaningless when they involve Kasich. People can be loud on hating on Trump all they want, that's fine. What they can't deny is the reality of him bringing out new voters in droves. Turnout is being absolutely shattered for the Republican party across the board in large thanks to Trump and in no part thanks to Kasich. So why does that matter for these national polls? They're done among likely voters in the election. The problem is they're being done at the same time as Trump vs Clinton, Sanders vs Cruz, Sanders vs Trump etc. Theres a massive fault in thinking that the general turnout will look even remotely the same across depending on who the nominee is. He will also bring out droves of new voters against him. All you have to do is look at the droves of angry people that follow in his wake. At this point I would vote for Gary Johnson in a Hillary/Trump battle, unless the State of Indiana was close enough to matter. In that case, I might actually vote for Hillary Clinton.

Rodon versus Gray should be a fun match up.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 08:45 AM) I didn't ask who was 3rd lol. I was asking who your favorite prospect is not named Fulmer or Anderson. Mine is Trey M. I like Adams a lot too. Edit: sorry I'll ask this on future sox threads. In terms of a guy I am really excited about I would say Carlos Perez, the catcher we signed out of Venezuela last year. He is already making a name for himself by hitting the top rankings of the DSL on BA. He is years and years away, but the early reviews are stellar. Venezuela has become such an under-scouted location because of the collapse of the government and social order there, so the kids coming out of there aren't getting the attention and review they used to even a few short years ago. Perez sounds like he could be a true diamond in the rough.
