Another thing i like about Tracey from what ive read is that his kid has stones "During the first few days of this past White Sox Spring Training in Tucson, a young pitcher walked into Ozzie Guillen's office, introduced himself and then told the manager that he was going to make the team.", Now its apparent this is a "Fluff" peice but still. /obligatory Dusty post

If we can get him and Latroy Hawkins, GOLDEN!, the guy has turned his swing into more of a line drive swing and just about every homerun he has hit this year has been very dye-esk it just looks like a line drive and then *poof* its gone! The O's have moved him up in the order the past few games, hes curently batting 6th instead of 8th where he was a few weeks ago, this is going to present more RBI opportunities for him. im intrestead to see how he handles it.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 02:12 PM) I know it's been said here by some, but I agree that if Tracey can have consistent control, he could be a Scot Shields type out of the pen. that would be nice, i thought maybe McCarthy could've/could be that bridge this year.

Yes, a Dodgers fan, She now refers to the Sox as her second team.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 02:02 AM) Let's take it easy now. Boone Logan once looked good as well. Obviously a different situation but can we see some more games and different situations before we annoint him? yeah but lets be honest Boone Logan has a "sneaky" delivery and medicore stuff. Tracey has good stuff and a werid delivery.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) Anyone think Tracey has a real shot at earning and keeping a pen spot this year? I do, not only can he eat innings, but when hes on, he has an amazing GB/K rate(as seen by the two tailor made DP balls tonight) yum!, i was reading in the AAP that he can hit between 94-98 is that true? it was saying 89 on the tv screen. Can anyone who was at the park tell me what he was hitting? Also i read @ baseballanalysts.com that he features a power sinker / slider / 4 seam fastball and i too feel just like the Cheat said in his blog that being under Coop can only help him reach his full potential.

What would it take to get both Brady Clark & Matt Wise? and would it be possible to give them Politte once he comes off the DL (retroactive to June 5th)?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 10:41 PM) Tigers don't have many lefties, so no real use for Thornton vs them. word cotten.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) If he can throw strikes, and not walk guys, he'll be a nice addition to the pen. But control has always been the issue for him. Do you think with Coops constant tutelage he can get that under control ala Matt Thornton? and speaking of Matt where has he been lately?

Can someone post the link to the interview soxtalk did with him? and yeah i was really pleased with his outing.

::Patterson Update:: 2-4 today with two singles, no K's, no BB, 1 error, hes currently batting .292

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) A good pitcher pitches over defensive mistakes. /agree X10, Tracey did, he created not one but two DP balls, Congrats Sean you've got BALLS!

^^^ that makes two of us.

SEAN TRACEY > Cliff Politte + Jon Garland + Jeff Nelson.

EVERYONE GET ON THE SEAN TRACEY LOVE TRAIN!!!!!

can someone post the link to the interview soxtalk did with Sean?

Holy s***!, a white sox pitcher makes his MLB debut and doesnt s*** THE BED!!!, good job Sean!

first big league K, congrats Sean

Go Sean!

So what will it take to get the likes of: Corey Patterson + Latroy Hawkins ? or Brady Clark + Matt Wise?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) Joey Cora's always been aggressive and that's never going to change. That's how Ozzie likes to manage. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't. If Cora doesn't send the runner last night, and we don't end up scoring, people here are going to be second guessing him for that. It's practically a no win situation. i agree, personally i don't mind the fact that he "forces the action", and yea sometimes he messes up. I'm willing to live with that.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) haha isnt that the nick name ed and singleton gave him too? im not sure i don't listen to ed and singleton that much.

Nice work JG

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) the babe k's , i remember watching BBTN at the very begining of the season and Gammons was making some outlandish comparison like that with regards to Shelton.

Blue Island?!?! thats were i'm from, COOL!
