Hudson gets the win in the rain shortened game. He's 7-2, 4.32 ERA.

Agree about Hynick. He's my new Egbert. Hopefully he'll stay healthy now.

Beckham should be playing. He's not going to come out of his funk sitting on the bench. The team is bad. He's our second baseman. Suck it up, and play him....either here or in Charlotte.

Birmingham...Hynick doing well. CJ is back. That has to suck. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...ox&did=milb

Viciedo 2-3, .293

Charlotte http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...chraaa_pawaaa_1 Birmingham Hynick Winston-Salem http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...kinafa_wswafa_1 Leesman Kannapolis http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...capafx_kanafx_1 Hopps

Dave Trembley is on the chopping block.

I've done very little research this year, but I'll go on record that I want Bryce Brentz if he's available. I read yesterday his upside is on level with Ryan Braun. Ok, I'm sold.

Beckham has now been on the White Sox roster for 162 games. His numbers: .248/.328/.392 Games: 150 AB: 548 R: 77 H: 136 2B: 32 3B: 1 HR: 15 RBI: 75 BB: 59 SO: 100

This is what Buehrle has done since retiring 45 straight batters in July of 2009: 23+ starts (He walked Alexi Casilla with 2 out in the 6th on 7/28/09.) 8-16 team record 5-13 his record ERA: 5.00 IP: 140.1 H: 177 R: 85 ER: 78 BB: 35 SO: 56 HR: 16 He's not getting traded, because nobody will want him.

Even if the Sox went to firesale mode, there aren't enough players to trade that would make the Sox worse than Houston, Cleveland, and Kansas City...and probably a few more. If the Sox have the 7th or 8th pick in the draft in 2011, that would be fine with me, if the draft is as deep as people are saying it will be.

It seems like this draft is weak, unpredictable, and not filled with a lot of star potential. Whoever the Sox take, I don't see fans penciling him in to a future roster like we did with Beckham and Mitchell the last two years.

At the end of the day, you're right. It's not going to matter. But it may be more palatable to watch Lowell at 3b or 1B, than watch Nix and Vizquel playing 3B and Teahen at 1b if Paulie gets traded. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 11:37 AM) We have a stopgap for 2010. His name is Mark Teahen. We have no need to go out and make a move that makes us older, and won't make an already bad team that much better.

It would just be a stopgap for 2010. I think it would mean Konerko is getting traded, and Viciedo and Morel aren't ready to be here this year. Lowell wouldn't be here for any other purpose than just to plug a guy in while the young guys get more seasoning in the minors--where they belong. The team is bad. It wouldn't be to win games, obviously. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 11:04 AM) Our team nees to get younger. We have no business trading whatever limited assets we currently have for an aging, declining, injury prone 3b. Especially, given the accelerated timetable this organization is putting Morel on. If this move gets made i'll be furious.

If it means the Red Sox pick up most or all of his contract and they don't force Viciedo up when he's not ready, I say- why not? It's not like he's forced to be here the next 4 years.

The Sox have these next two weeks to get hot. Like 10-2 hot. If they don't get to .500 very soon, it's over. So it's probably over.

Beckham is 2-3 with 2 RBI's this month. I just wanted to say something positive about Gordon.

June 14 QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) Does anybody know exactly when AJ's 10/5 rights kick in?

Torres has 10 k's in 6 innings

Torres is really starting to hit his stride. 6 k's the first 4 innings.

37 games until the break. I think they have to go 25-12 to be really in it. So it's either get hot now, or AJ could be gone in a couple weeks, and then the dominoes will probably start to fall on trades.

Charlotte http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...chraaa_pawaaa_1 Winston-Salem http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...wswafa_potafa_1 Kannapolis rained out. Birmingham later.

These daily boxscores are mostly garbage. Is there anyone good in this organization other than Daniel Hudson?
