flavum

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 08:55 PM) Great question. Jeromy Burnitz is so far the best example I can come up with. He was pretty terrible in AAA at 23 years old, but his K rate was never anywhere near that bad in the minors. I went through players in the majors that hit over 250 career homers. Nobody had a season like Hawkins, with the low batting average, high K rate, and low OBP. He has 102 K's in 57 games. That's worthy of calling him a bust already, but it would be pretty unfair to put that on a 19 year-old. But if he doesn't turn it around this season or in 2014, he's done as a hitter. The good ones are just good, even at 19 or 20.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130714 Peavy starts.

Konerko starting a rehab assignment on Thursday.

De Aza 8, Ramirez 6, Rios 9, Dunn 3, Viciedo 7, Keppinger 4, Phegley 2, Morel 5, Quintana 1 This should be a quick game. Both teams have incentive not to care today.

Phegley at 2B.

Sunday's game should be high energy. 2:15 max.

Convert him to a pitcher.

7 shutout innings for Jordan Guerrero for Bristol. 19-yr-old lefty.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 07:45 PM) When does the 2nd game start? One out.

Anderson RBI triple

Ramirez 6, Beckham 4, Keppinger 3, Viciedo 7, Wells 9, Morel 5, Flowers 2, Tekotte 8, Santiago 1

I'm happy for Danks, but if somebody wants to offer something fair and take his 14.25x3 years....he gawn.

Hawkins BB. Whoa.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130713 No Jacobs yet. I would assume tomorrow behind Peavy.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 06:24 PM) Uh oh....someone forgot to tell the players not to score here because that makes flavum mad Oh darn

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 06:22 PM) Ok and ? That's about it. Team sucks, hope they get a good draft pick, and the team is good by 2015.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 06:15 PM) Was anyone expecting him to go anywhere else? He was hitting up a storm in a ball prior to his recent promotion to AA. Since he just got promoted, and Mitchell, Walker, and Thompson were in Birmingham, it was a little up in the air. Bell said that one of them will DH most games.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 06:16 PM) Good news is the players dont give a **** what you want Good news is most of these bums won't be here in 2015.

I want the Sox to lose 98 games, and I want this to be one of them. Not happy.

Delmon Young has to be frustrating for every home team's fans. Talented, but he sucks.

Jacobs is going to Birmingham.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 12:18 PM) I think the FO is very committed to Robin. Committed to not paying two managers for a losing team.

Ventura reiterated today he wants to manage next year no matter the makeup of the team. I've given up on this issue. My feeling is he's not going to be here in 2015, so what's the point of him being here in 2014? But, whatever. Finish out the three years, and the next guy will come in.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 02:20 AM) Not sure where to put this...Any chance we see Rienzo get the start in the double header tomorrow? Unless they're thinking of showcasing Santiago, wouldn't it make some sense to give Hector some time off? He's probably on an innings limit this year right? Rienzo has been doin work lately so it'd be nice to reward him with a cup of coffee. Danks and Santiago are starting today. Veal is coming up to replace Thornton, and Ventura said they aren't allowed to bring up a 26th man when the doubleheader is the day after the rain out---which I don't know if that's true. I wasn't aware that was the rule, and I'm not sure why one doubleheader is any different than another.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 10:50 PM) So Veal, Purcey, Moskos and Santos Rodriguez our the top 4 LH relievers at the moment. Moskos was released last month. I guess you could throw Leesman in there if they decide to make him a reliever.
