QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 07:38 PM) Griffey was a definitely #1 for me, with Manny coming in a close second. Barf

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 04:36 PM) WHY? Because he had a lot of managerial experience in the Phillies organization. He had a good reputation as a future big league manager. As an interim, they wouldn't be under any obligation to go past this season, so they can give him a trial run and see if they want him as they reload over the next couple years.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 04:31 PM) God no! As much as I respect Thome.. he needs coaching experience first. The White Sox need to hire someone from the outside to manage this team as well. Someone with experience. No more Baines, Ventura, Guillen, Raines, Cora, Walker etc.. The Bulls did it right by hiring Thibs (an outsider with plenty of coaching experience). At least with Guillen, he collected coaching experience in Florida before the Sox hired him. Regardless, the next manager hire needs to be an outsider. Mark Parent should be the interim manager after the all-star break. Won't happen, but he should.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 04:23 PM) I'd love for Jim to be our manager. Sure, if he starts in the minors, proves he knows how to manage players and game situations, absolutely.

Konerko is in the lineup.

Matt Guerrier for Carlos Marmol.

Feldman and Clevenger to Orioles for Arietta and Strop.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) Our mood (the fans) has been pretty ugly for awhile now. I really wonder what it's like in the White Sox dugout/locker room. Is everyone just waiting to be traded? Are there guys that can't wait to get out of here? Just speaking for myself, I'm at the Acceptance Phase. I'm actually looking at this season as a positive for the future of the franchise. They're forced to deal with some things they've ignored over the last several years. You can't just compete, win 81-85 games and call it a good try anymore. As far as the players, I think they care, but don't have the personality to go nuts. I think they take on Ventura and Konerko's personalities. Show up, do your work, play the game, and go home. I doubt any of them are losing sleep because nobody is in AA or AAA nipping at their heels, and the pay is good.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 10:59 AM) I dont care if we have the worst system out there. A 16 year old doesn't belong in the top 25. I kind of agree. For prospect list purposes, these young 16-17 year olds shouldn't qualify until they're in full-season leagues. There should be a Top 10 of AAA, AA, A+, A players, and then footnotes about short season players.

Call me when he gets to Kannapolis. Until then, he's just a project. /somejerk

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 10:26 AM) I saw we go for the ultimate losing streak. DON'T STOP NOW BOYS! After this series, we got Hellickson, Moore, and Price. Then Matt Garza. Then Verlander. 100 losses, baby!

So is his name Micker Adolfo or Micker Zapata?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 1, 2013 -> 10:21 PM) Keep on winning Marlins. We are now only 3 games out of the #1 pick! http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/...ankings/majors/ Astros are worse. 3.5. About to be 4. Wouldn't that be a kick in the nuts if the Sox get the #1 pick? I hope it happens.

Marlins 17-10 in the last month. Jose Fernandez has a crazy curve.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2013 -> 06:33 PM) Did Micah Johnson get promoted? He's not in the lineup tonight. He's still listed active on the Kanny roster.

RBI triple for Barnum.

Kannapolis is facing a guy having a pretty good season. Barnum needs to get going.

^ I think you're both right.

Looks like the Tigers and Indians will both be 43-38 at the half way mark. They have 11 games left against each other. 8 in Cleveland.

Screw that. I want Holmberg back! /kiddingnotkidding

Danish has an ERA over 0.00. That's new for him.

Kannapolis is an Eric Grabe single from being no-hit through 7. Can't feel bad about Anderson's 0-3 when everyone else is getting shut down. 7 errors in 11 games for Anderson. edit: and now Grabe has the only two hits.
