QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 16, 2007 -> 04:05 PM) That was actually my biggest fear when I received a message on my phone telling me Cunningham was dealt. I was so scared Kenny traded him for some old veteran reliever or some old crappy outfielder. Than I came on to see it was for Richar and I was a lot more happy (since it was a youth for youth move and this youth filled a more immediate need...albeit OF is obviously a dire freaking need). The Sox and AZ have a very good relationship so you never know, this deal could have came about as part of discussions for another deal (say Kenny was working on a Dye deal but they couldn't agree just yet, however during the discussions the Sox got very itnerested in Richar and bit on this initially and told the Dbacks they could further discussing things cause I do think the Sox could have some interest in some of the Dbacks OF prospects). You're welcome. I think this just means that the Sox don't feel that they can re-up with Iguchi, or have found so through talks. I hope we can move Gooch for a package of talent.

This better get Gonzalez's ass sent down to AAA.

Iguchi/Uribe contingency plan?

White Sox acquire infielder Richar from Arizona for outfielder Cunningham CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox have acquired infielder Danny Richar from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for outfielder Aaron Cunningham. Richar will be optioned to Class AAA Charlotte. Richar, 24, hit .285 (76-267) with 20 doubles, four triples, eight home runs, 46 RBI and 40 runs scored in 66 games with Class AAA Tucson in 2007. He appeared in 50 games at second base and 16 at shortstop. The 6-foot-0, 170-pounder ranked second last season in the Southern League in runs scored (79), fourth in hits (140) and tied for fourth in average (.292) and was named to the league's mid-and-postseason All-Star Teams. Richar owns a .281 (678-2,410) average over six minor-league seasons in the Diamondbacks organization. Cunningham, 21, batted .294 (74-252) with 12 doubles, five triples, eight home runs and 37 RBI in 67 games with Class A Winston-Salem in 2007. The 40-man roster now stands at 40.

Rally Crede > Saluki Magic

He was scheduled to make a start, and didn't.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 11:13 PM) How come we don't have one of these by now? Went to the I-Cubs and Memphis Redbirds game tonight. Lots of Cards fans there. The stadium is really nice, better than Wrigley. Rick Ankiel hit a bomb to RF off of Ryan O'Malley. He also took one deep to center but it was caught right at the wall. It's amazing how far this guy has come. Troy Percival pitched the 8th with a 3 run lead. Gave up a lead off single to Ronny Cedeno, who stole second, and almost got tagged out after he wandered off the base dusting himself off not calling a time out. Percival had a couple of K's, and he was consistently around 89 MPH topping out at 91. Cubs lose 4-1. :fthecubs Yeah, I was impressed by the stadium as well.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 10:19 PM) If he was getting called up to AAA, would they pull him from a start? I could see if it were to the majors, but why screw up his pattern? Well, I should say he didn't make his start.

He was on MILB.com to start the second game for the Barons tonite, but Wing started instead. No news why, though. The Knights open up a roster spot with Aardsma being recalled. --

Aardsma got rocked in Charlotte tonite.

Wow, really nice atbat by Absolut. Now our hopes rest on Spunky Gonzalez.

Jenks pitching

Nothing quite like sticking a 2B/SS in left.

LOL Hawk "Ha, that one Oriental guy, he didn't look like he was going to make it through the course"

DJ, Gonzalez isn't a major leaguer.

Good sign to see Josh with a bloop hit. Go deep Jon.

Let's score 12 runs.
