QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:33 PM) I like this Jackson trade. He's got great stuff and he's 26. He's not as bad as his ERA indicates. 4.27 FIP, .318 BABIP. His fly ball rate is only 30%. People overrated Hudson on this board, he was a no. 3 starter-at best. No way! No one on SoxTalk overrates our prospects. Hudson was going to easily be the next big thing, obviously. But yes, I DO think we overpaid, but not the blasphemous amount most here do.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) you missed something http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7412 OK, Chris Young isn't a pitcher that was in our system, drafted by us! (I'll be waiting on the link from someone we drafted in the 27th round in 1982 or something)

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) It's a good thing I'm sitting down. If this happens, the Sox may have gave up Hudson and that other guy for Dunn? Thats the thing that gets me....people are fuming about losing Hudson for Jackson, who we'd control for another year+, but are all quite ok to give him up for Dunn, a 3 month strikeout machine rental...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:22 PM) Chris Young? Unless I missed something, Chris Young isn't a pitcher! Guess I should have made that part a bit more clear. I'm just saying, we (SoxTalk armchair GMs) get so attached to prospects that may never see the light of day, that we over-value them to the point of comedy.

Its funny, the only 2 prospect names I ever see mentioned are Richard and Gio. What about the other mass of names that have been declared the next big thing, only to be traded to someone else and disappear forever?

So folks are up in arms about us overpaying on Jackson, but are ok if he is flipped for Adam Dunn, a 3 month rental? Color me confused.

SoxTalk Over-valued prospect disdain and anger commence in 3....2....1....

Nice defense fellas

'Lexei!! Man, he is so hot right now.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:49 AM) South Carolina was getting up there in number of appearances without winning the title. Clemson is second at 12 and I'm sure their fans are really pissed right about now. Yep, which is doubly awesome for me. I work in an office full of Clemson fans, and nothing makes me happier than to be able to say "Not only did we eliminate you by winning 2 straight, AGAIN (2002 as well), but we've now won it all.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 12:03 AM) Well, that turned out to be a really underwhelming College World Series. Depends on who you support.. WTG Coach Tanner and the boys! Go Cocks!

Brad LOLidge...great job.

This is rather embarrassing....

Game 1 in Myrtle Beach goes to the good guys, 4-3. Coastal had bases loaded, 0 out in the bottom of the 8th down one, and gets nothing thanks to the bullpen.

Oklahoma to the SEC...man oh man...filthy. I hope they can find a legitimate partner to convince to come to the SEC as well, that'd be an interesting addition...

Woohoo Linebrink!

What a joke. Enjoy getting traded all over the league, scrubs.

f***ing pathetic Keystone Kop bulls*** ass f***ing team. Get the f*** off of the field, you aren't worthy of being a MLB team.

OK those that know more than me, when is our next pick?

Completely inexcusable. Game turned off, thanks again for being such a s***f***ass team.

On another note....good lord, are people seriously paying $90 for the iPad case on eBay? Really? I mean, its not even that great of a 'protective' case... I'm trying to find some sort of semi-stable case for the thing, before leaving for Vegas on June 22nd, and my area of the country just has nothing available.

What was even better, was that the AT&T info came out on the same day I bought the 64GB + 3G version from apple.com. Hooray AT&T! Though, its really not a dealbreaker for me, as the WiFi was going to be my main source of connectivity probably 97% of the time

Its hard to blame Apple though, but unfortunately, most cell service providers will be following suit. Unlimited data is a great idea, except for the sheer volume of usage going on right now for companies like AT&T. Of course, had AT&T used some of their Apple money to actually IMPROVE their network in urban areas, like they needed to do years ago, this may not have been an issue. So, shame on you AT&T.

Gavin Floyd...a walking pile of suck
