QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 16, 2005 -> 04:36 PM) *Raises Hand*. That dope shouldn't hold a press conference. Everyone, even in Illinois, know his plans. He's going to Duke. We all know that. Scheyer will probably go to Duke, but he wants to get the process over with. There was an article in the Trib about him not wanting to talk about recruiting for a few days after taking a visit. If he knew it was Duke a while ago he would have said so earlier.

Any word on where it's being held? I should check it out and give you guys the early word. He's going to Duke 80%-20% right now IMO. I don't think it's as much of a lock as everyone says, but I think Duke is still way in the lead. Oh, and it's Scheyer. Just out of curiousity...how many of you have seen him play?

It's backwards day for the Knights! They win while scoring 11 runs. Everyone but Brian Anderson got a hit and Joe Borchard went 3-4. Coquillette with a grand slam, good for a 6 RBI day. Coqu, Norton, and Gutierrez each had two hits. Box Score The Barons got shutdown. They managed only 4 hits while losing 4-0. 2 hits for Stewart, good relief from LaMura. Box Score 'Hogs win 4-2 behind a nice start from Haigwood. Hinton and Daigle with 3 hits each. Interesting defensive setup. Schnur started at 2nd and shifted to 3rd. Amador played CF. Daigle at 3rd. Wasserman still yet to give up a run. Box Score Kanny's game got suspended.

Scott Pod Iguchi Buehrle (other than the 4th ) Sox! 27-9, who would have thought this team would be this good? .500 ball the rest of the way gets us 90 wins, time to readjust my reg. season win goal.

I love this team.

That's what I was trying to IM you about. The new version looks better but has a lot of early bugs. But just from yesterday to today they have fixed some, but don't play it yet. It will only turn you off of it. The fielding is better, but there are a couple huge hitting bugs. There is a swing lag so if you swing on time it's way late and some pitches are looking like balls even when they are strikes.

Buffalo @ Charlotte Josh Stewart is pitching against Jason Bere Jacksonville @ Birmingham Lubisich pitching against #2 Dodgers prospect Chad Billingsley Winston-Salem @ Lynchburg Haigwood on the mound Kannapolis @ West Virginia Russell started. Rain delay, 1-0 Kanny btm 4.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 13, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) I think KW wants to keep Fields, Anderson, Sweeney, and B-Mac unless he gets blown away by a deal. Or the team is desperate for something at the deadline like we've seen in previous years. As of right now I wouldn't take any deals right now, but things change.

QUOTE(Randar68 @ May 13, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) Kind of silly to bother wasting time talking about that when injuries haven't created any glaring needs and there are few obvious holes that need significant upgrade. Is this the minor league board or the "Why bother cause they're all going to be traded, so let's just whine about it" board? Just curious. I'm a big fan of not trading guys, but when was the last time KW didn't make a trade at the deadline? Something will likely pop up. Have a bad day or something? You're posts have been more attacking than usual.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say one of our big 4 will be dealt at the deadline. Fields won't be eligible until close to the deadline, but I doubt he will be traded anyway. I'm thinking one of them is going to get traded.

QUOTE(Randar68 @ May 13, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) The Latino players coming from the DSL usually start in Bristol. The Sox use Great Falls more for their recent college draft picks and developmental HS picks(last year's draft, ie Brandon Allen, etc)... Allen was in Bristol.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ May 13, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) It's an actual link on Yahoo! though. You'd think it would be big news if it really was true though. They just quoted Entertainment Weekly and nothing else.

Sarah Michelle Gellar. Solid. Or if I go by Dan I get Anna Kournikova.

Garland Iguchi White Sox 26-9!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 12, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) Don't forget the Aussie now. I can think of one thing you wrote and it was pretty good. Hard to see improvement when you've only done 1 thing. 2 maybe?

It was Gio. I remember he had spells during last season where he lacked control, nothing to worry about off the injury.

LMAO, Bruce Levine just got asked about these guys on Chicago Tribune Live. He said how Toca is merely filling a spot in AAA. Ok, no big deal. He then talked about Valido and how the White Sox were pretty pissed. Then, here's the funny part, 'Valido is down in AA'. Do your homework Bruce! However, now take it with a grain of salt, he said Valido was taking an over-the-counter powder from GNC.

Back to Valido hitting .250 like he did in Kanny.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 12, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) Shouldn't they have known what they were getting into when they drafted a Boras client, though? I certainly don't agree with how much Boras expects for his clients, but, shouldn't a team know what they're buying when they draft a Boras guy? The Angels have been splashing money lately, in the draft last year and with free agency. Boras is hard to deal with and sometimes it's not worth it. It's not as simple as you lead on. Update on Wild, he went back to Bakersfield for his sophomore year and has a 2.24 ERA in 56.1 IP. 43 K, 20 BB, 47 hits and 11 hit batters lol. Any chance this guy is a draft and follow pickup?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 12, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) That sort of pisses me off, though. We don't have any supplamental picks or second round picks. Do we even have a third round pick? I don't think it's a great idea to limit ones-self by saying, "We're not dealing with this agent". There's a chance that both Weaver and Drew could fall to #15, and to my understanding, these guys are both top ten picks in terms of talent. I'd be extatic if we got Drew. Try thinking about how pissed off you would be if you were the DBacks or Angels and might possibly lose your first round pick from last year's draft. That would blow. On a sidenote, does anyone know about Jacob Wild? He was the highest pick we didn't sign last season (17th round). RHP out of Bakersfield JC in Cali. His scouting report from mlb.com's draft coverage read like a first or 2nd round pick. I'm guessing it was a signability issue, but anyone know anything else about him?
