QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) Really? What should he do at this point? Pitch through injuries? Not pitch through injuries? Retire? I think Milky is telling us he is easily upset.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 02:59 PM) Well, if you want to say Peralta is overachieving, then I'd suggest that Raburn is underachieving and likely to improve as season goes on. No one talks about how ridiculous the Indians bullpen has been this year, and that's why they won so many games the first two months. Eh, there wasn't much of a need to focus on one aspect for that team. Everything was overachieving from the offense, to defense, to starting pitching, to bullpen.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) I'd like to see Hawk be a part of a franchise-player draft. He already did that once...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 02:07 PM) Very impressive DeShawn Stevenson. Even Patrick Kane managed to never get arrested during his drunken title celebrations, and it only took you about 24 hours. Let's just say I wouldn't have wanted to have been the cop to climb up on the float and arrest Kane.

Mark Ellis 2B

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 02:44 PM) BTW, after all the pitches he threw over the weekend, the extra offday yesterday probably was a good thing for Sergio. I worry a lot about his pitch load. He totally gave out last year. With him being the defacto closer, he is way more important now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 02:31 PM) And to play devil's advocate, it drives some people crazy that there are posters that still view him as the NL Cy Young caliber pitcher before injuries and pitching in the Grand Canyon in a different era. Who? I can think of one or two. And it is WAAAAAAAAAAAY outscreamed by the just go ahead and die Peavy crowd.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) Because we're pretty darn tired of them. The complaining is bad enough, but the jumps to conclusions that don't even make sense are what is driving me crazy.

I had forgot to highlight Gardeck, which makes 15, plus it looks like we have our first known UDFA http://www.missouristatebears.com/ViewArti...TCLID=205160309

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) 12 http://www.salisburypost.com/Sports/061211-sports-briefs-qcd Actually going back and and counting that makes 14.

Great Falls is saying they have eight new draftees alone. http://www.greatfallstribune.com/article/2...PORTS/106140319

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) Make that 10 at least. http://arkansasnews.com/2011/06/15/blog-ro...with-white-sox/ 11 http://blog.gulflive.com/mississippi-press...profession.html

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 01:49 PM) We have eight that are known of. Make that 10 at least. http://arkansasnews.com/2011/06/15/blog-ro...with-white-sox/

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) This has to be the most random thread bump in Soxtalk history. What would possess one to even search for this thread, let alone actually bump it? For once i agree with you.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) Again...which of those is unusual? We have eight that are known of.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:56 PM) FYI, K McCullough still in Cinci system, now at AA. That is a really random bump of a three month old thread.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:52 PM) I don't think they are comparable in this situation. Yes, the Bruins have a 40-year Cup drought, but Boston has the Pats, Celtics, & Red Sox as winners recently. Vancouver has nothing else but the Canucks and they have never won. Oh, and it's hockey in Canada. Their reaction would be crazed on a much larger scale than Boston's. Think of it as the Canadian version of Green Bay, without the history of winning a lot.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:34 PM) Lets go Bruins. Vancouver will riot if they lose. All six of them.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:40 PM) I know a few weeks ago, people were saying that the Marlins wouldn't be an option for Ozzie since they were doing so well. Since then, they've imploded and look to be on their way to a disappointing season. Just something to keep an eye on for the next few months. I'd still trade him for Logan Morrison in a heartbeat.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) He doesn't profile as a good 4th outfielder. He is bad defensively, can only play one outfield position, and let's face it, his inability to steal bases efficiently now has negated his speed. Meanwhile, Lillibridge is the perfect 4th outfielder. And yet Milledge has a massive fan club two months ago.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) That was meant to be green right? I don't think anyone believes he deserves a roster spot on this board. And regarding the guys b****ing about another Pierre thread, take your skirts off and deal with it. This is another angle that needs to be discussed as now it appears, if any of you were paying attention, that KW is now putting the whole debacle of Juan Pierre on Ozzie indirectly but publicly. Did you miss that? This is the kind of thing that could brew into a HUGE sh*t storm and it hasn't even been slightly talked about here. With the exception of Fathom's post, no one saw it, out of all of the posts regarding the recent Viciedo article that is now 10 pages long. A roster spot? I have no problem with that. There is a market for 4th OFs with some speed. I just wish we had another guy who could hit leadoff to get him out of the line up.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:08 PM) The world will explode. We need a giant Jump to Conclusions mat for the game thread. It is going to be a nightmare of Canuck fan proportions.
