QUOTE(Nokona @ May 11, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) Get well soon DC. But does anyone think this will provide for some funny bits later on? Yeah, he should be able to do that. I'm personally wondering if it's a drug thing. The details are sketchy enough that it may not be mental health. Either way, I really hope he gets better.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ May 12, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) I see the moralist are at it again eh?? Because if I'm not mistaken this is the same board that holds the "Hot Chic" contest all the time... yet these are bad huh? No T or A allowed in any case. That's the rule in hot chick contest. Without knowing what you had, if it had T or A it has to go down.

Ottawa @ Charlotte 6:15 Adkins to the hill Bham lost 8-5 in 11. A Gon and Sweeney 2 hits each. Tracey with an ugly outing, but he did manage a hit (Bham, you are going to have to inform on why he and Heath Phillips batted). Pollok and Meaux with good relief, LaMura got the L. Box Score Winston-Salem @ Salem 6:05 Flores starting Kanny with a DH today. They won game 1 2-0. Hansen 2-2 with both RBI. Egbert a CG shutout (7 innings) 6 K, 0 BB, 4 hits. Box Score They took game 2 3-1. Cook and Kelly with HRs. Hansen 4 shutout inning, but wild (6 walks). Perez and Zaleski seal the deal. Box Score

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 11, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) Great read, I love these W-S guys, its great hearing about them. I was surprised there was no mentioned of Jenks though. Yeah I know, but I did right about 27 other guys. It gets a little tiring lol. Jenks did have a rocky start so it was hard to put him in the hot category, but I should have at least mentioned him. I figure next month I'll be able to write about more unique cases like Jenks because I won't cover the top 10 necessarily. There is a lot to write about having most of the players were at new levels. Thanks for all the compliments, I really do appreciate it. It makes it seem worthwhile.

Ottawa @ Knights- BMac is starting against James Baldwin tonight. Rain delayed start. Mississippi @ Barons- Heath Phillips makes his return to AA. Warthogs @ Salem- 6-0 already through 4. Collaro belted his 9th and Molina hit one out. Valido already 3-3. Haeger starting. Kanny got postponed due to rain.

April in Review A look at the first month of minor league play The first month of the minor league season has come to an end and May is underway. With many players adjusting to new levels, the first month of the minor league season is always interesting. Certain players thrive when promoted while others fail to bring up their game a level. It’s also intriguing to watch guys that were forced to repeat a level to see how they respond. Some guys flourish with the extra experience at the level while others fall off the prospect radar for struggling two consecutive seasons. You also have prospects that jump levels or get promoted too early. In the first monthly review FutureSox takes a look at how the top prospects are doing, who’s hot, and who’s not. more...

QUOTE(farmteam @ May 10, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Yeah, thanks. However, it was pretty crappy--Jason made a lot of nice revisions (Thanks!). I hope my future articles are a lot better, and I hope ya'll like them! You'll get better once you get a feel for it. I remember that and dasox24 went through that last year. Just don't rely on Jason to edit your papers all the time, he's bad with grammar and rather untimely.

Person rocked, Charlotte loses...again. Bikowski 2 hits with a double. Brown with a HR, 2 HR for Norton. Box Score Hogs lose 4-2. HR for Daigle. 2 hits for Nanita. Box score Kanny lost 9-3. Kelly with a HR. Box score

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 9, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) Pssh, I saw it your way a long time ago, where's my dap(sorry pti) Dap I use that phrase all the time!

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ May 9, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) If my team wins 8 games in a row, i'm not going to be mad about a loss. I'm sorry. Thank you! Somebody sees it my way. God, who would have thought this thread would have turned ugly?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ May 9, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) Guys, even the best teams will lose 60-70 games. It's not worth crying over spilled milk. That was exactly my point and some people just don't work that way. Oh well.

Who said I was happy about the loss? I was just trying to lighten the mood but it's obviously a rough crowd. Geez. :rolly

Haha, this is a frivalous thread but it's hard to believe this team lost a game. Cheers to 24-8.

Did you not see the link with his career college and minor league stats in the post above yours?

QUOTE(JimH @ May 9, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) LaMura was out of Clemson if I recall. I remember one of the Sox brass commenting when he was drafted that they felt he had a chance as a solid bullpen guy. He started and relieved in college I'm pretty sure. He was a mid round pick, within the top 10 rounds, so they saw something they liked. B.J. LaMura info Clemson, full time reliever in college until his last year when he did both, 5th round pick.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 9, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) Good call Woddy on no .300 hitters moron. Yeah, for some reason that really bothered me. I think it's because Reali is 'Stat Boy' and didn't know the stat. I couldn't help but send an e-mail to correct him. "On the 5/9 episode of ATH you had a buy/sell on whether the White Sox would make it to the World Series. Woody Paige sold it on the argument that the White Sox don't have a .300 hitter. Of their starters, Tadahito Iguchi is batting .333 in 102 at bats. Oops. Usually Reali is good on knowing stats but just said, "Good point" and gave Woody credit. I just wanted to set the record straight. Thanks, Danny (a White Sox fan)" Woody being wrong isn't surprising, but I just couldn't help correcting Stat Boy on a Stat.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 9, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) The pitcher who's really starting to intrigue me is BJ LaMura. He's had some eye popping stats at Birmingham thus far. Yeah, but it's a pitchers' park and numerous guys have not been able to make it in AAA going into a hitters' park. Smith, Phillips, and Villacis all have had troubles in AAA after good seasons in AA. I'm keeping a cautious eye, but I've been impressed with his work in AA since he got promoted.

QUOTE(T R U @ May 9, 2005 -> 11:25 AM) Yeah, Baj was great with us when he was called up last season Until he shows anything even close to being decent on the ML level I am not getting my hopes up on a minor league ERA I feel the same way, but he's worth giving a second chance with those kind of numbers.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ May 8, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) After The game Heath Phillips was sent to Birmingham and Antoin Gray was placed on the Suspended list why I won't know until tomorrow. Does that mean Honel out of the rotation?

QUOTE(Goldmember @ May 6, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) 1. Crying is blackmail.

Charlotte (9-20) @ Norfolk Stewart starting, game just started. Birmingham (14-14) @ Chattanooga 2:15 Lubisich to the bump. Potomac @ Winston-Salem (15-14) 1 Haigwood Kannapolis is off. (On a Sunday )

A Look into the 2005 Draft FutureSox breaks down the early look of the 2005 draft By Jason Gage It's early May and the White Sox sit atop the American League Central. Life is good on the Southside and in roughly a month the Sox will look to the future, adding some more promising prospects to a system that’s on the rise. The White Sox will not have any supplemental picks for the first time in a few years, nor will they have a 2nd round selection (it goes to the Yankees for the Orlando Hernandez signing), but they are choosing 15th overall in the 1st round. more... This is more good draft stuff from Jason. If you don't know much about the draft, make sure to read Jason's articles that lead into the draft. They were great last year as it was my first year following the draft really closely and everything he wrote was very informative. I'm sure his draft pieces will be just as good this year.
