Sooo from what ive gathered it looks like whats best for him is to work in the rotation for a few weeks and then the bullpen??? kinda like with p90x where you have recovery week after 3 weeks??

QUOTE (hi8is @ May 9, 2012 -> 06:29 PM) Any word on a start time? Nope, still waiting for this phantom rain to leave...Hawk did say the rain was blowing over on the radar so hopefully soon...

A rain delay with no rain coming down...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 9, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) Nothing screams WS here we come like a 3rd baseman hitting .219 with a .630 OPS who has been downsloping the past couple of years and is coming off an injury. Remember when trading for hurt players who had nice track records was bad. Trades like the Peavy deal? Over his past 10 games Youk raised his those numbers you mentioned from .176 and .443...he also batted .218 last April only to put up 3 straight months over .280

"Through 12 home games this season, the White Sox are drawing 20,521 fans on average" pulled that from sbnation.com ... So theyre averaging less than 3k this year, that doesnt sound that bad esp considering that last years team was "all in" and had high hopes. This years expectations aren't nearly as high. If Youk came here and performed expectations would once again be high and you'd start to see those numbers rise.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2012 -> 01:54 PM) The trade to happen. The Sox aren't drawing anyone. They aren't adding payroll. Are there any sites that show monthly attendance numbers? I'd be interested in seeing how the early numbers relate to past years. No im not trying to argue that they havent been bad, I know they have, I just wanna see how bad compared to past years

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2012 -> 01:11 PM) You just quoted fielding percentage to me. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 9, 2012 -> 01:11 PM) The problem with this comment is the use of F% to prove a point. Last year Morel had a 0.9 UZR. Youk had a -2.3. I admit that I dont even know what UZR is, I just wanted to see how much worse Youk is defensively and the only way I know to look at that is fielding %..

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2012 -> 01:00 PM) Kevin Youkilis does not belong at 3b. He just doesn't. His defense isn't terrible there yet, but it's below average...and having to play that position is going to rapidly kill his body. Morels fielding percentage at 3b last year was .953...Youks at 3b was .967...just sayin

This team is a lot closer to contending then needing to do a complete rebuild.

Thornton, Quintana+ for Youk book it lol...I dont think its a complete pipe dream as some of you think, we dont know how much money the sox have and it makes a whole helluva a lot of since for Youk to be traded.

Well now I dont feel so stupid for mentioning this a few days ago. If Middlebrooks is there to stay then it makes a ton of sense, the coach already talked crap about the guy and if they plan on benching him?? thats gonna be a big mess in boston....I mentioned Youk before the Sale move with both Gavin and Matt going there way, I wouldnt do that now but if its Matt+ then get er done!

Keep it goin Jake (Peavy and the poster) lets shut these gloom and doomers up!

QUOTE (Jake @ May 9, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) Well...do we have a chance at this series? IMO? yes.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:08 PM) Maybe in a pinch but he came into the system as a 3B and has now been exclusively at 1B for over a year. If Miguel Cabrera can play 3rd so can Wilkins, give em a shot!

good first half defensively, keep riding that the rest of the series!

Good win tonight....Remember guys, good teams go through bad stretches(Angels and Tigers to name a few this year)...If the Cubans get goin this team will compete...Book it

So is Stacey sick or just depressed or somethin?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) Are you kidding? You are kidding right? Nope I wasnt kidding, neither of those 2 were hit hard.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) The fact that Dank is still in this game is ridiculous. Hes throwing a solid game and is under 100 pitches, why is it ridiculous....guys a bulldog

atta boy paulie!! Indians havent been shut out this year, lets be the first to do it!

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ May 8, 2012 -> 07:42 PM) Anyone know when McPherson will return from the DL? He was on the 7 day DL as of May 1st so I'd think he's coming back soon....Morels gotta go, Dallas cant be any worse than Brent.

Dunns K streak probably snapped with that walk, his 3rd of the game

Quick 7 pitch inning there for Danks.

even one of the biggest optimists on this board (me) has turned on this guy...gimme dallas mcpherson

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:30 PM) It sure is encouraging to see Danksie stepping up also had zero walks his last game as well....seems like a lot of people on here forgot hes actually a good pitcher.. Lexi was safe there
