Don't regurgitate that "player without a position" thing. That doesn't mean he can't play defense, it just means he doesn't strictly profile at one position. Kuhn is a utility guy who should play everyday. He is far from a defensive liability at all. From watching him, I'd say he could handle CF and RF in addition to 3B, SS, 2B and LF. In his hitting prime, Chone Figgins didn't profile at one single position, he played 5 or 6 different positions regularly. A different one everyday. His bat was needed in the lineup and he gave the Angels flexibility.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) Haven't watched him at all. I'm going off the opinion of professionals that do watch him though. What have they said? Because he hardly makes any errors.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:48 AM) Yeah, that is kind of where I was going with that. But, I'd think Bren would at least get on here and tell us why or just tell us something. I'm concerned now that it's something bad. It's out of character for her to be so silent.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:46 AM) With all of the catchers the Sox just drafted, it probably doesn't look good for Chase. That too, but why wouldn't they just release him? I'm guessing he decided to quit.

Usually Baseball America has a blurb about players placed on the restricted list in the weekly minor league transactions.

I guess something went sideways, because Bren hasn't been here in two weeks. She would've been here posting everyday if everything was okay.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) It looks like Chase hasn't even been on there for quite a while. On where?

I've been trying to contact Bren to find out what's going on with Chase, but she hasn't responded.

QUOTE (LayelBurton @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 01:30 AM) Garrett Johnson, Jacob Petricka, Steven Sauer, & Johnny Nunez All listed as Rehab in Bristol. Euclides Leyer, Jean Duque, Daurys Mercedes, & Carlos Sanchez promoted to Bristol from 2010 DSL White Sox --(Duque had played 1 game with the DSL White Sox so far in 2011.) Chase Blackwood now on restricted list. Not good, still haven't heard back from Bren about him.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 12:23 AM) I don't buy Kuhn's defense either. Why? How much have you watched him play?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 11:40 PM) Well that and 30+ stolen bases. Kuhn will never do that. True, but I think he can do the rest.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 11:42 PM) I'd assume it's an eligibility issue. He's no longer eligible to win rookie of the year, which is what a lot of publications use. I hope that's the case, because otherwise it's just blatant disregard.

Nice outing from Jon Bachanov, 2 innings, 1 hit, 4 K's.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 04:22 PM) Great Falls sits along the Missouri River, getting its name from five major waterfalls, including one that's right outside the stadium parking lot. Nice.

Yes. I don't get why Viciedo is ignored.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 10:43 PM) thats very optimistic That's the type of guy he is. People seem to think of Kuhn in a lesser way than they should. He's a .300 leadoff guy who can play 4, and maybe up to 6, positions. That was Figgins at his peak.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) Grantland - Bills Simmons' take on 'The Killing' Finale Bill Simmons needs to learn brevity.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) Though its two starts in a row now. Leesman made his previous schedule start on the 13th. Shirek spot started the second game of the double header on the 15th. As of right now, the Barons rotation is Santiago, Griffith, Edwards, Doyle, Leesman.

Haven't heard back from Bren Blackwood lately, tried a PM and messaged her through Twitter. Hopefully Chase wasn't cut loose.

Not crazy about the way The Killing ended, but at least my original theory is possibly back in play.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) Curb Your Enthusiasm is back July 10th! :headbang :headbang

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 11:56 AM) Boggs was 24 when he got to the majors and played 104 games. When he was 25 he had 210 hits. not saying kuhn isn't a prospect, although he has never made the Sox list of top 30 prospects with Baseball America. But chances are he'll be a Graffanino type. Kuhn has a higher ceiling than that. I'd say Chone Figgins in his prime.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 08:15 AM) Looks like they are stretching Shirek back out again to start. Odd, since he seemed to finally be having some success as a reliever. I think it was Leesman's turn in the rotation, and he was elected to the SL all star game. It might have been a spot start in place of Leesman.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 09:28 AM) http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/20/jackass-ryan...t-pennsylvania/ Ryan Dunn of Jackass fame, in a car accident. He was hilarious. Oddly, I just watched a special on Jackass last night on MTV. He was my favorite of the group. Unfortunately, he was probably drunk driving and another person died in the car accident.

Of course, Viciedo is implied.
