QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 09:39 AM) My hope for the Sox draft: 1.3 Aiken - Hopefully the Astros find an underslot deal that they like better than Aiken and the Marlins grab the Miami native Rodon 2.44 Luke Weaver - Was once projected as a top 15 guy, his stock is down as he has been inconsistent over the last month, but would give the Sox a higher floor guy that could move quickly to compensate for developing the HS pitcher taken first 3.77 Jeren Kendall - Contact hitter, plus plus speed, great range in CF - Lance Johnson type table setter They did a draft prospect special last night on MLB, and Weaver seems to be quite the character. Funny dude. Maybe I missed it, but I don't remember Trea Turner being on the top 50 list. Anyone know if his stock has fallen that much?

Revenge for this game that Robin pulled him... http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/LA...201206170.shtml (surprised Lillibridge was still on the Sox two years ago-seems longer. He was traded a week after this game) BTW, when the Dodgers start Kershaw, Haren, and Beckett, the team is 13-14 this season. No excuses getting swept in this series.

E Johnson. WTF.

Angels and Yankees lose. Angels with the first wildcard on pace for 86-87 wins. Big series next weekend. http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings/_/type/wild-card/group/5 Tigers 4-10 last 14, but I think they'll bounce back. But baseball happens.

RIP Ann B. Davis

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 03:26 PM) Also, it would be really cool if the AL All-star game starter came down to Sale or Buehrle. Although I could see Phil Hughes sneaking in there since he's the home pitcher. Sale missed too much time. He'll still make the team if he makes 6 more starts, but Buehrle and Tanaka are ahead right now. Hughes, Keuchel, Kluber, Gray, Darvish, Felix, Weaver, and Sale will be on roster I would think about 6 weeks away.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 04:04 PM) http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/...is-weeks-draft/ I thought draft picks could not be traded? In the last CBA they negotiated that these Competitive Balance Picks are eligible to be traded. I think there were a couple trades like this last year.

He threw 8 shutout innings today for his 10th win. He probably has 20 or 21 starts left. In this season of the power pitchers going under the knife, Buehrle's season is a great contrast. Just shows what pitching is all about---changing speeds and locating. Not all about the radar gun.

Twins helped us out beating the Yankees too. Life without Mo.

20-34 and their run diff. is only -18. Weird.

Good. Get him at bats down there. I was really thinking he was going to stay.

Hope Montas is part the future. That trade can turn out great for the Sox.

AL Pitcher of the Month for June 1 down. 5 to go.

Flow!

If Buehrle is done today, he's looking at 10-1, 2.10 on June 1.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 11:24 AM) Come on boys get this one. Sale pitches a no no today. It could happen. Two wins for the Padres already. Day game facing Sale. A shutout is definitely in play today. The big question...who doesn't get on the plane to LA tonight? For some reason, I think Semien is going to stay on the roster.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) Getting excited for the draft for the first time in my lifetime, (26) due to the high pick. I'm good with any of the big 3. I'm excited about the upside of the pick, but when it comes to young pitchers, I'm not penciling anyone's name into a future rotation until he's made 10 healthy/good starts at Birmingham. Teams always need pitching, and it's the right move in this draft, but it sucks there isn't a Longoria or Bryant this time around--at least not considered that good right now.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 08:46 AM) Zapata not on the DSL team. Possibly in Great Falls? His name is Micker Adolfo. Micker is pronounced Mike-er. He'll probably be playing for the new short season Arizona team. They begin play June 20.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 30, 2014 -> 12:42 PM) Does this put Sale in line to start against SF on June 18th? Yes Sale's schedule before the Break: 6-1 vs Padres 6-7 at Angels 6-12 vs Tigers 6-18 vs Giants 6-23 at Orioles 6-28 at Blue Jays 7-4 vs Mariners 7-9 at Red Sox 7-15 All Star Game

Another factor--Sale wasn't going to be in the 4-gamer against the Tigers. Now he'll have the last game.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 30, 2014 -> 12:39 PM) Who's getting skipped? Just flipping Sale and Q.

A little surprised, but it probably will sell a few tickets at home and Sale doesn't have to pick up a bat it LA. A sweep this weekend would really take the pressure off having to win a bunch of games in LA and Anaheim next week. Big month with a couple tough road trips coming up.

Why should they? They're in it right now, and Quintana is locked up. I really don't understand all of the trade talk/who can we trade while the team is still in it. Yeah, I get they aren't going to make moves to jeopardize the future, but the Beckham/Alexei/Quintana speculation stuff seems out of place while the team is in-season and not buried.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 29, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) We are 28-27 I know. 54 games is 1/3 of the season. So 27-27 down, plus 1-0. Happy?
