Heads22

For some reason, you've listed Andy Gonzalez as an outfielder.

I'm sure Mario could "take care" of it.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 11:44 PM) lol my thoughts exactly

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 06:24 PM) What happened? The Colorado grounds crew took the tarp out but it started getting windy as f***, trapping guys and the tarp blowing in the air and everything. Players then come out of both dugouts, sturggling with the tarp, running around and s***....hilarious, and words don't do it justice.

That's one of the funniest f***ing things I've ever seen.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 05:45 PM) My Warthogs contact said McCulloch is not hurt, just pulled due to a delay/field conditions. Updated.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 05:50 PM) Since we have Anderson, no need to pursue Torii. Likewise, we have Jerry Owens, so no need for Ichiro.

My Warthogs contact said McCulloch is not hurt, just pulled due to a delay/field conditions.

I'm still intrigued as to McCulloch.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 04:49 PM) As for more trade speculation, McCullouch only went 1 IP for WS today (0 H 0 R 0 BB 2 SO). Just sayin'. They've been having a lot of rain.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 04:45 PM) Are you f'ing kidding me. No offense to Egbert but he doesn't have near the tools as the other guys on the list (including DSL) and I actually like Egbert a lot (its just hard to project him that high). Hell, Sweeney probably doesn't deserve to be on that list either. Its pretty much Gio/DSL. Than again, I am the guy that pretty much only looks at tools when it comes to evaluating prospects (I take stats into effect but I put most of the value into tools). I don't like two-pitch prospects at all when looking at a starter, especially when that second pitch is a slider. That's just me, I suppose. He needs a change.

Can a player on the minor league DL be traded? I suppose he could be a PTBNL, as well. However, I'll be mildly surprised if BA is still in the organization come August.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 04:41 PM) What I'd give for either Kemp or Ethier. I told you Dye for Ethier earlier this year. Shoulda made it happen.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 04:40 PM) They would move Garland long before Vaz (because Kenny would like knowing he has three guys in his rotation for a while assuming health and that would be Mark...Vaz...Danks). I'm just assuming one of the two get moved now. I expect the rotation to be, in 08: Buehrle Garland/Vaz Danks Mystery FA/Trade Chip Floyd/Gio

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 04:36 PM) I agree, you maybe right, but this team is going nowhere this year, why not maximize the return and trade him now? Wouldn't you say that it's important to have someone to build around in the rotation, regardless? There's still the window where he can be traded, and despite the escalator clause, there's still that opportunity to move him. Plus, wouldn't he command more in a deal knowing that during that time where there is no NTC, that he will be locked up?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) yeah, but why would we want to trade him if he can pitch like this? The rebuilding process just got a lot quicker if we can keep a rotation of Buehrle, Garland, Vazquez, Danks. I say we offer Garland a similar contract in the offseason and get him signed. Trade Count now for whatever garbage we can get him for. Then next spring training have another open competition with Gio, Floyd, Broadway, etc. I'd also trade Jenks as I don't think it is a smart idea to trust him in the long run when he will likely be barely hitting 91 on the gun. Vaz' value is probably at a high right now. That being said, we don't have to move him.

Thanks KW, releasing that little secret.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) at least we have something to look forward to next year. he should probably be in the top 3 prospects for us next year. He's probably still behind Gio, Sweeney and Egbert right now. It's hard to tell though, still being at Low A and only utilizing two pitches that we saw there. Granted, he had some good stuff, but he does need a third pitch. Until then, he's Dewon Day.

94 MPH

Fautino makes Ellsbury his b****, then Upton makes Fautino his b****.

Mark Buehrle agreed to a contract extension with the White Sox today.

Buster Olney seemed to report the Sox gave in to that 5th year thing if traded.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:39 PM) I'm still surprised Mark accepted such a cheap deal. It'll be fun having a class act like Buehrle around as the face of the franchise for the next 4+ years. Kudos to Kenny Williams. Now get a ridiculous package in return for Garland and I'll be ecstatic. Update your damn salary thing.

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:35 PM) YES!!! (So what the hell was all that other stuff about then?!) Just what I said, tellin those two to keep it black.
