Ginter Dealt to Mets By Alex Ernst March 27, 2004 FutureSox.com In a move to acquire some bench help, while at the same time grabbing a left-handed bat, the White Sox dealt relief pitcher Matt Ginter to the New York Mets organization in exchange for utility outfielder Timo Perez. Ginter was the first round pick of the Sox and the 22nd pick overall in the 1999 amateur draft. He's spent parts of the last four seasons shuttling back and forth between Birmingham and Chicago and Charlotte and Chicago. In 123 minor league appearances he went 22-18 with a 2.74 ERA. He also has garnered 15 saves in his minor league career, 14 last year with the Knights. In 63 major league games Ginter has went 3-0 with a 5.91 ERA. He was in the heat of the fight with Jon Adkins, Neal Cotts, Jason Grilli and Mike Jackson for the last spots on the roster. Perez started his career playing for Hiroshima in Japan before coming over to play with the Mets in 2000. He has hit .317 in the minor leagues with 18 home runs and 110 RBI over 315 games. He is a career .276 hitter in the majors with the Mets with 18 homers and 114 RBI over 372 games. He is close to a lock on the White Sox bench. This puts pressure on both Kelly Dransfeldt and Jamie Burke for the final bench spot. Dransfeldt has been hitting well in Cactus League Action, but Burke has ability to play first base, third base or catcher. Both have major league experience but Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has expressed that he would like to have three catchers on the roster, and with the versatility of Burke being able to play both catcher and the corner infield positions, he seemingly has the upper hand in the last week of Cactus League action.

I live in Iowa...I'm not even lucky enough to get trash.

Has Danny shaved yet?

ISU beats Marquette 77-69. ISU vs Rutgers Oregon vs. Michigan

ISU beating Marquette 34-28 at the half....20 minutes away (hopefully) from MSG.

ISU women move on to the NIT Final Four...men looking to do the same....women will play UNLV....most likely at Hilton.....winner of Marquette-ISU will play Rutgers at MSG.

Jim, how are things going for you overall in Tucson, if you don't mind answering?

When are they gonna name you manager, Rex?

For 9/11 I was in 1st Hour Study hall wehn the teacher came in and said the first plane crashed...we spent the rest of the day watching and lsitening to the stuff.

I love the threads that I start.... And Reddy, when do the Hawks play their next basketball game again?

Haaa....the Hawks suck!

I love them.

Anyone else like this type of potato chip?

The banners are usually Ian's ideas and it'd be up to him...he's kind enough to do it for us...we don't care when and if he does them.

So...Iowa State's playing at Florida State in the second round of the NIT...how are those NIT brackets coming?

Sox Demote Four More By Alex Ernst March 20, 2004 FutureSox.com In a continuing series of moves to whittle down the roster by Opening Day, the Sox sent down four of the pitchers on their staff. Pitchers Felix Diaz and Jon Rauch were both optioned to Charlotte while lefty Vic Darensbourg and righty Jose Santiago were re-assigned to minor league camp. This leaves the Sox with 34 players in camp. Rauch was expected to contend for the last spot in the rotation, but he is now likely their first or second pitching option in the minors along with Neal Cotts. While Rauch is a starting pitcher, it is not out of the question to see him used out of the pen if he is called up, as he, Cotts, Jason Grilli and Dan Wright are all contenders for the fifth spot. Darensbourg and Santiago were non-roster invitees for the Sox this season, and it is possible that they could be dealt with the over abundance of pitchers in Sox minor league camp.

I had nevada....never really thought for a second before the game that MSU would win.

Mmmm.....pita.......

How's everyone doing in their NIT bracket??

I got used to it quickly....

Anyone ever done one of these? We are on day 4 in our human anatomy class. We took 3 days to skin the cats and eliminate some fascia, and today we looked at muscles under the chin and neck including the sternomastoid and the mylohyoid. Our cat has the mylohyoid and the diagastric really well defined and I guess we did a good job. You get over the fact you're cutting into someone's pet (possibly PA's) really quickly. For anyone wanting to see what wedid today: http://fp.dl.kent.edu/hyork/catmusnk.htm The muscles on our cat are darker and more well defined.

ISU wins....next up are the noles.

Jas....get on the AIM.
