Danks reports he feels great after his side session. Threw all of his pitches.

Buehrle was a 38th rounder.

First nepotism pick...his son. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/team/e...rise_terry.html

Angels just drafted John Bushyhead. By cracky.

Remember this guy? http://twitter.com/MDGonzales/status/210443161074536448

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 12:39 PM) Dodgers are banged up, and the Cubs/Astros/Brewers are just terrible. 8-7 against the remaining IL schedule would be very disappointing. You say that now, but then we face Wainwright, Lynn, Kershaw, Capuano, Garza, Samardzjia, Gallardo, Greinke. We'll get our wins against them, but let's not get too cocky.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 12:24 PM) Isn't the draft going on today as well? Does it start later today for some reason? They are flying through the picks now. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2012/draftcaster.jsp

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 12:14 PM) Just win ONE and take out your frustrations on Houston and the rest of the NL... 10 games with Toronto this season. I'd take 4-6 right now. But yeah, they need to go at least 11-7 in interleague. Already starting 3-0 is a good thing.

Absolutely no reason to keep talking about Quentin. He was great for 5 months, and an enigma and a headache for 3 years.

David Holmberg has been incredible his last 4 starts. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...&pid=571787

Alex Avila to the DL, hamstring.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) I assume you heard this after the game? Great news Yes, Ventura just mentioned he had that wrist procedure to flush that floating chip in there.

Paulie should be in there tomorrow. So that's good.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 7, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) Every team has at least 27 in the book now. First 27 (1/6 of the season): Cle 16-11 Det 14-13 Sox 13-14 KC 9-18 Min 7-20 KC and Min---later. It's been real. Det played like crap and still ended up over .500. Cle overachieved. Sox underachieved. We'll check back at Game 54. Games 28-54 Sox 18-9 KC 15-12 Min 14-13 Cle 13-14 Det 11-16 Games 1-54: Sox 31-23 - Cle 29-25 2 Det 25-29 6 KC 24-30 7 Min 21-33 10

He came out of the game early tonight. There was a play at the plate the inning before.

With interleague next week, it wouldn't be the worst time to DL him if needed. Plus it would be retroactive to June 2 since he didn't play Sunday.

Interesting picks so far. 8 college pitchers, 1 lefty They took a high school lefty pitcher in the 15th round from California--Jordan Guerrero.

Charlotte- Zaleski (Jordan Danks not starting-Hmmmm) http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...chraaa_tolaaa_1 Winston-Salem - Arroyo http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...wswafa_salafa_1 Kannapolis- Snodgress http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...kanafx_hagafx_1

Konerko scratched. Lillibridge at 1b. No reason given.
