beautox

santanta with a bad throw to home, 2-1 d-rays how about Iwamura? best signing this offseason 3 years/$7.7M (2007-09), plus $4.25M 2010 club option only cost them 4.5 for the rights.

very nice, javys ERA a lean 1.50. javy didnt have his best stuff, but he didn't sweat the little things, and he didn't s*** the bed, nice work Javy.

5.1 of 2run baseball, with 2 bloop singles and a shrinking strike zone. 7K 3BB 8H 2HBP

lol @ "AJ Pierzynski stop touching our catchers butt"

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 08:06 PM) I'll be in the minority but I wouldnt ahve a problem having him go out there until he has a baserunner with a 4 run lead. He's only at 100 +1

wow, close play.

Yourmainguy, welcome back buddy

wheels

Javy, mans up and sits down hafner.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 07:15 PM) Hes only 23, give him some time and he will come around. That doesnt work ship him to Colorado lol. Atlanta sold high on him to the bosox and they bought into the hype same with cleveland. his last 1354+ pro ab's haven't been that impressive sans power.

3 RUN HR, Juansky En fuego

Marte is a bust. WTP FTL

nice pitch by javy, sry late to the party.

Pinella's post game is awesome. you can tell hes primed to explode in the near future. hahahahahahah "what the hell do you think isn't working, you see the damn game" hahahahahahahah

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 04:21 PM) But I thought Zambrano was going to win the Cy Young and was the second best pitcher behind Johan Santana. i still say if zambrano comes to the AL, his bulls*** wont fly. he wont be able to walk the 7th and 8th hitter to get to the weak hitting pitcher.

lol did anyone see cedeno take out soriano, after soriano broke back up a pop up? man their defense is so s***ty. haha Soriano asleep at the wheel again, thats two pick offs.

Zambrano with a bad outing today, 6hits 4BB, ERA at 7.88 with the chance for another run to be charged to him, bases loaded no one out.

first time up with the bases loaded, gets a single & 2RBI.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 12:46 PM) Suzuki? Which Suzuki did we pass up? I personally think Lucy has a shot to do well still (why I picked him up as an AAP), especially with Wiki and Gustav as the only people ahead of him. Nevermind, found him - Kurt Suzuki. His offensive numbers look similar to Lucy's, but Lucy's defensive numbers look better. I don't see anything in the few scouting blurbs I can find that are anything special. Why would Suzuki have been a better choice? Suzuki is the heir apparent to Kendall and is only 23years old(a year younger than Lucy), better pop, better obp skills and is now at AAA.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 11:54 AM) I believe the more appropriate question is why we drafted Broadway instead of Carrillo. Or last year with McCulloch instead of Pedro Beato. Far as I'm concerned, the members of Soxtalk -- with far less scouting -- have made better first round selections than the professionals for two straight seasons. Now, It may be different for you, but I know I didn't think about Garza until the Twins selected him. If you look at the draft thread from 2005, several of us even joked that this kid Garza was going to be a stud. Not that we knew anything, but just that it was the Twins. Considering the sheer number of pitchers in this June's amateur draft, I expect them to make the right decision. Not the pitcher who has the "safe delivery" or is another clone of Broadway or McCulloch; but someone with a legitimate arm who perhaps slipped to signability concerns. I can tell you this early, judging from mock drafts, that I'd select either Tanner Robbles or Greg Peavy. This is if the draft were today; which it isn't. I'm sure the names will change (Cole St. Clair was rated #2 overall in an earlier Scout.com draft, and look how he's fallen). One name I'd hope beyond all hope falls to the White Sox is Phillippe Aumont. From what I'm reading, this guy has legitimate stuff; albeit a little raw. If we end up missing him by several positions I'll curse the White Sox for winning 90 games. 86 wins could have been the difference between selecting 20th and 25th, and wouldn't have changed anything about the club entering this season. in the first round of their mock draft scout.com has us taking a SS 25. Chicago White Sox Todd Frazier, SS, R-R, 6’4, 205, Rutgers Todd Frazier may have the best set of tools in his draft class. And though his size may keep him from playing shortstop as a pro, he has the athleticism and the power potential to hold up anywhere a pro team might move him defensively. At this point, third base is his most likely destination, but I wouldn’t rule out a corner outfield spot. The White Sox could go in any direction with their early selections this June because their best prospects reflect a nice balance between pitching and hitting. In my eyes, Frazier is a good match for their system because he offers a speed dimension to go along with his power and defensive flexibility. If he can stay at shortstop that will be even better, because the Sox lack a promising prospect at that position. The knock on Frazier is that he hasn’t figured out how to translate his tools into performance on a consistent basis. He has long swing mechanics which could lead to a low contact rate in the pros, but when he centers a ball on his bat it can really travel. His plate discipline is above-average, which will serve him well. He’ll have adjustments to make, but I haven’t heard much concern that he won’t be able to make him. the long power stroke, sounds just like a sox prospect

QUOTE(Top Notch @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 10:10 AM) McCann over Mauer? Anybody who thinks this way want to explain. Joe Mauer 2006 OPS 936 age 23 13HR Brian McCann 2006 OPS 960 age 22 24HR

Milledge sent to Minors This move makes room on the 25-man for Pelfrey

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 10:22 AM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stat...ontext=fielding I would say he's an average to slightly above average defender, if he would remain at one position for 3-5 years. all i was saying was that he isn't a defensive liability; like the up and coming Billy Butler QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 12:32 PM) Mauer is the only choice at catcher, it's not even close. McCann is right there too Catcher Brian McCann Post-All Star Break 2006 (AVG/OBP/SLG): .324/.372/.630 As promising young backstops go, everyone knows about Joe Mauer but what about Brian McCann? The 22-year-old catcher who posted a 146 OPS+ in 2006 is highly regarded, but I am not sure baseball fans fully appreciate just how good Brian McCann appears to be. I'll still take Mauer for his superior ability to reach base, but catchers that can hit this well at such a young age are a rarity, and I think 2007 is the season McCann begins to get the appreciation he deserves. baseballanalysts.com i also wouldn't put it past McCann to put up a season like Piazza did in 96/97 with the dodgers, all the while being 1000x the defensive catcher mike was/is.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 10:11 AM) i like this stat even better! +1

Cabrera, Sizemore, Mauer. and Miggy isnt a defensive liability at 3B, hes quick, real quick.
