Has there ever been a Sox/Cubs series with less anticipation? I mean, I really don't buy into it myself anyway, but this year...I have no interest.

They might trade AJ before next Monday, but I don't think his 10/5 date is that important. No matter who wants him, they're going to be a contending team because who else would want him for the rest of the year? I think he'll still approve a trade after June 14 because it will give him a chance to win this year. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:48 AM) Steve Stone was on CSN last night and made it very clear that he believes A.J. will be moved before Monday when he earns his 10/5 rights. He also said that he doesn't think Konerko is part of KW's future plans (not too surprising), so he'll be moved if the team doesn't improve in the near future.

Sale, like Sail. Or, there's a sale at Penneys!

Well, I guess the Angels had a plan...5 HS kids.

I wonder if Castellanos goes to college now?

Just hearing him talk, he reminds me of Johnny Danks. .

Angels are really rolling the dice with the HS kids. Whoever scouts in Georgia for them is going to have a lot riding on this draft.

Please tell me the picks come faster after 32...

I love that this guy is a control pitcher, and the mound presence is there. If he ends up in the bullpen, that's ok. I like it.

In that Piliere chat, somebody asked if the Sox were in on a Boras client. He said maybe RHP Matt Harvey from UNC.

6pm central on MLB Network. Preview show at 5.

Well, they have 7 hours to figure this stuff out.

If the Royals don't draft Grandal, that'll be fun to watch tonight. Does anyone know if MLBN is still filming the Sox for The Club? I'd love to see the behind-the-scenes of all of this.

Blue Jays may be taking Austin Wilson at 11. If Zach Cox is available at 13, would the Sox be nuts to pass him up?

If you think that, more power to you. When I see a team play 56 games with only one 3-game winning streak, and go 4-8 against the worst team in the division, I'm declaring them not good enough.

This mock draft has Wimmers and Workman in the 20's, and the Sox taking a high school SS. http://www.mymlbdraft.com/MLB-Mock-Draft-2010 I don't know, man. Here's what I think: 1. Harper-Was 2. Taillon- Pit 3. Machado-Bal 4. Grandal-KC 5. Pomeranz-Cle 6. Harvey- Arz 7. O'Conner- NYM 8. Sale-Hou 9. Choice- SD 10. Colon- Oak 11. Cox- Tor 12. McGuire- Cin The Sox? No clue. I hope it's not a pitcher. Take a shot at a bat, and worry about pitching from rounds 2-8, or whatever.

Piliere tweets he'll be on this radio station at 8pm central. If you're not into hockey... http://nybaseballdigest.com/

I was sold on Brentz, but the more i read and hear, it'll be a pitcher. I'll go Workman. He'll suck.

Stone Pony just cracked me up.

Buehrle is 10/5 on July 6 (or around there). He made his debut 7/16/00, but his 10/5 date is before that.

I hate how Hawk calls a time frame or an era a "time zone". Oh well. At least he stopped calling Shin-Soo Choo, Shin-Sin Choo. It only took him 3 years.

Absolutely. And for the people calling him a bust or another Brian Anderson, they don't know what they're talking about. Beck is going to be fine, but I'd rather see it sooner than later, and I want to see him do it in a White sox uniform. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) If you are a fan of the team at all, you have to be rooting for him. For better or for worse, he is a main piece going forward.

I agree about Beckham. I'm rooting for the guy.
