Limited power, but expect him to hit around .250 & make the clubhouse a fun place to be. Elite D at 2nd? I've never heard that said about Sanchez before.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 11:45 AM) If that's the case in Ferguson, then yes. But the facts aren't all out yet. This guy had a weapon and approached police with it in hand, disobeying orders to stop. There is not a single thing wrong with their response. Not a single department would disagree. I don't know what to tell you. It's a suicide by cop, I'd bet anything on it. The facts will never be out there. So many versions of the "facts" are out already that literally anyone can paint any version of the story they want and be right based on the "facts".

I wonder if the White Sox can match up with the Red on one of those excess OF's?

Alex Speier ‏@alexspeier 2m Red Sox agree to seven-year, $72.5M deal with Rusney Castillo http://fullcount.weei.com/sports/boston/ba...usney-castillo/ … via @WEEI

I think in most of these cases people are frustrated with the existing player and subjected to back up QB syndrome with the next guy in line. Andy Wilkins has zero chance of "replacing" Adam Dunn.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 04:41 AM) It's from Bernstein's "sources", but he tweeted this Wednesday: Dan Bernstein @dan_bernstein · Aug 20 I'm told #Cubs are steamed about this new #MLB rule limiting proprietary international scouting, feeling targeted. Won't say so publicly. As a White Sox fan I have to say it seems like every single change in the CBA and draft has been set up to screw Theo and company. It is uncanny. Every single loophole they exploited in Boston is getting closed one by one. Once the international draft happens, they won't be able to overspend in LA either.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 08:20 AM) So the Wolves are actually getting Wiggins, Bennett and Thaddeus Young, not trading Bennett for young. That's a pretty awesome haul. Considering they couldn't keep Love anyway, that is a best case scenario for Minny.

I haven't seen this much hype over a white sox middle infield prospect who didn't at the major league level since...

QUOTE (TRU @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) And yet, no one can back up any reason as to why Davidson wasn't ready. Based on what he did in Arizona last season, and then his .308/.341/.564/.906 slash line from spring training, I am suppose to buy into him not being ready? Sorry, that's not good enough. Now I will wait patiently for the next textbook soxtalk poster to tell me that on a board that has greg constantly posting, I am posting some of the most illogical stuff you've seen. His entire 2014 season is the perfect example of why Davidson wasn't ready. If the season he just hasn't isn't evidence enough, nothing really will be.

QUOTE (TRU @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 07:35 PM) Nope. This was a 99 loss team, there was no reason for a guy like Gillaspie to be starting at 3B for this team. Davidson was ready and played well in his call up with Arizona the season before. Just because it "worked out" doesn't make it the right move. Gillaspie is worthless to this team, and he will never be on a Sox playoff team. Davidson should have been up here from the get go. Instead, they shipped him to AAA when he shouldnt have been and that to me seems like the biggest reason for his struggles as most of his stats line up with what he did in the minors before. It was absolutely the right move. The White Sox correctly evaluated that Davidson wasn't ready for the major leagues, and sent him to the right place. Gillaspie turning into a starting MLB third baseman was a pleasant bonus.

QUOTE (TRU @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 07:18 PM) He should have been the starting 3B entering the year but instead the Sox dicked around with him and sent him to AAA when he had no business being there anymore If any move that the Sox made to start this season has been proven to be 100% correct it was having Conor Gillaspie at the starting 3B and sending Davidson to Charotte.

This thread is just full of bizarre.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 04:58 PM) That's not really true though. The term Indians is in fact used elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere outside the US. Again, that's just trying to pick away nuances. They terms are different, and I can illustrate it very simply. If you met and had a conversation with, let's say, an Apache (or Cherokee or Comanche or any other tribal identification), I can guarantee you that you would be more comfortable saying American Indian than Redskin. In fact, I'm sure that unless you were discussing football, you wouldn't go anywhere near the term Redskin. That tells me what I need to know about the difference. That tells me what I need to know as well. Despite the same history, and the application of a term used to strip the history and culture away from a group, which is pretty much the ultimate in racism, it still isn't viewed in proper context.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) we pay 18 mil for a guy per year who is not worth anything to another team/ even for one months salary, sad. No we don't.

PTBNL or cash.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 04:43 PM) They don't have anything like the same backgrounds. Their backgrounds are no more similar than African American and the N word. Are those the same to you too? There is one HUGE difference there. We didn't take over Africa and rename them on their own tribal and historical lands. They are actually African. Unless you are taking the term American to mean North American, and not United States of American. I don't use it as such, as tribes outside of the US still are identified by their tribal histories, such as the Maya, Inca, etc. They aren't known as Mexican Indians or some other artificial colonial construct.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 04:37 PM) You really, really want American Indian to be the same as Redskin. Yet they really, really aren't. One is a misnomer that has been accepted and in fact embraced not only by anthropolgists but by these people themselves. The other has been used for centuries as purely an insult. It would be so much easier of all these things were the same. People want desperately to not have to deal with the shades of grey, to boil it all down to all or none. But especially in terms of cultural nomenclature, that is never the way it works. Actually that is my point. One is socially accepted, and one isn't, despite their origins and histories having the same checkered backgrounds. One has the mythical power, one doesn't. People have convinced themselves that one is different.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 04:15 PM) This is just full of factual inaccuracies. There IS a historical and anthropological term Indian, specifically American Indian, and it is in fact the generally accepted term for the people living in the Americas prior to (insert your favorite Euro "discoverer" here) and going back at least 10,000 years. Go ask an Anthropologist. And yes of course there were tribes and families and villages, just like there are in every society, but that absolutely does not mean that higher level associations do not also exist (i.e. Nationalities), or that overarching scientific terms do not exist (i.e. Europeans). Look it up. The name "American Indian" was adopted because they couldn't think of another over arching term, that people would actually understand, that wasn't more racist and/or wasn't a product of the same people that began calling them "American Indians" in the first place (such as "Native American"), and they did so despite and with full knowledge of its negative and racist connotations. Just because it is "generally accepted" does not mean it doesn't have the same set of factors attached to it as redskin or any of the other things we have called groups people over the centuries. Go back to the 50's and examine the general accepted names for other groups that we would dare use in public because of their connotations today. After the organized slaughter and removal of these groups over a course of centuries, the only thing they had to go to was the identity that the colonialists gave to them to strip them of their tribal and national identities. These people are neither "American" nor "Indian", and definitely aren't "American Indian" anymore than they are "Redskins", "Noble Savages", or any of the other terms historically used to degredate their true histories and societies. Those are products of European minds, and not of the people who were here 10,000 years before the Europeans showed for for their 500 year genocidal show. The fact that they feel they have had their identity stripped down to the point where they feel there have no better identification than what their slaughterers have called them just goes to show how complete of a job that was done. It sure doesn't make it any less racist of a term.
