Here's some stuff on Gilmore coming out of high school... http://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerp...e.aspx?ID=16827 Another Scouting Reports: http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/ev....jsp?mc=gilmore And Some Video: http://mlb.mlb.com/media/player/mp_tpl_3_1...cid=mlb&v=2

Interesting. If Beckham starts to rake for the next month or so, I wouldn't be surprised to see him complete jump AA and join the White Sox in June or July. Especially if Fields and Getz are still struggling.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 22, 2009 -> 10:30 AM) According to Barry Rozner, this isn't over yet. There's only one way in which I'll like to get Peavy again... He throws a complete game shutout against the Cubs, and after the game he says: "Screw you cubs, and get used to it, cause I'm gonna be pitching on the South Side for now on!" Not gonna happen, but I still have hope.

I don't even really want him anymore. It's obvious this guy doesn't want to be a part of this organization, and the only way he will join is if we give in to his ridiculous contract commands. This guy is a tool. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cu...-csep22.article Screw him. Enjoy pitching for a loser team for the next 4 or so years.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:27 PM) Agreed. I think it's a great look. I wish more guys did it on the big league club. That's how I'd wear my socks if I was in the Show. Not only do I think it is a great look, but for hitters, it gives the umpire a reference of where your knees are at.

I would say Pods, but so far, his best tool has been horrendous the past 3 games. Picked off 3 times, and caught straying way off the base on a linedrive hit right at Crede.

I like how he wants to be in a stable place knowing he won't be moved, but then he asks for an opt out clause after every year? What BS. Screw you Jake Peavy.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:54 PM) It's all a bunch of crap. I don't believe for one second Peavy wants to pitch in the AL. He'll make an AL team give him a king's ransom to go there. I wish him nothing but the worst after tomorrow. If it was the fact that he liked to hit, how come he hasn't said that from the beginning? He's just scared of the AL.

I hope Poreda turns into an absolute stud. Just so in a couple years, I can say screw you Jake Peavy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:45 PM) I'm actually with Gage on this one (I'm scared, hold me) I can't hate a guy for 1. Liking the place he works/plays/lives or 2. Trying to get another year of his contract if he can, especially at $22 million Be honest, who here would have given up on $22 million right away? Who here would be willing to leave a job they liked, for a job at a company they didn't like as much, for the exact same amount of money? Maybe he will change his mind, or end up somewhere else, but in reality, he isn't acting any differently than anyone of us would have acted. Yeah, because the Cubs and Wrigley Field are in a completely different area than the Sox and the Cell. This guy is a b****. Has no problem pitching in Wrigley Field, but is too f***ing scared of the AL.

Wasted my whole day for nothing. f***.

f*** you Jake Peavy.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) congrats btw! Thank you. However, I don't get why they have to make such a big deal about any of this stuff. Big whoop, I graduated from high school. It's not like millions of other teenagers are doing that this year... Oh wait. I'd gladly accept my diploma through the mail.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:30 PM) The MLB boards? Who on there is giving you all of this inside stuff anyways? Look at the first post of the thread. The first guy who broke that news was also the first guy who broke the news about the Garland-Cabrera trade. Either that guy has some connections, or he can travel through time.

f***, I hate graduation. I don't wanna go!!! I want to talk about White Sox, Peavy, and Penguins!!!!

Another awesome idea that came up as well... Soxtalk Text updates! That'd be awesome.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) I'd definitely petition for MLB forums poster to join soxtalk. He obviously has some inside connections. We should do like a football recruiting thing. Have him come here on a gameday visit, see how awesome the game day threads are, etc. Also, we have the best minor league coverage of all the sox sites.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:23 PM) I said it before, some of you should really eat crow for bashing the original poster on the main site about this deal earlier. And I said it before, we need to get that guy on soxtalk.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:21 PM) yeah I am sure kal is kicking himself in the ass for missing out on that lol Why wouldn't he? Who DOESN'T love to talk about pet penguins?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:21 PM) Can someone link me? http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...693&st=1260

Speaking of fun, Kalapse missed the best part of this thread. The 5 or so pages about Penguins were the best.

One way, and only one way Pods can stay on... Lisa Dergan has to become a Chevy Pride Girl.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 21, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) Why does he have to be away from his family? Is there some reason why his family cant have a home in Chicago? Or at least have a home in Chicago for the summer when Peavy is playing. His kids are in school in April, May and August/September. The rest of the year he can be with them as much as any other team hed ever go to. I think the family part is just mainly for this year. I've heard that he wants to move to the midwest, but moving his family isn't gonna be a spur of the moment thing. Kids are still in school, and there are just a bunch of new arrangements they'd have to make.

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:40 PM) it's too hot for a penguin to just be walkin around I'll create a refrigerator room for him.

We gotta get this done within the next two hours, one way or another. I got my freaking graduation tonight which is ruining everything!
