I's ridiculous to even think about making moves right now. Until the Tigers show they can go on a run, the Sox aren't out of it.

So is Dunn playing LF next weekend?

Royals series matchups: Paulino- Floyd Hochevar- Stults Duffy- Humber Sweep these guys. Get a winning streak going.

That seems to be the consensus. Safe college picks with low upside, and higher upside high schoolers. When I looked at some of the players the other day, one of the higher prospects is a Stanford third baseman. That would be too Kenny. I need to find out if he played football.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ May 9, 2012 -> 10:17 PM) Outside of Scherzer, all of those pitchers are having a very fine year Very true. And they're all due to have a bad start. Who knows, maybe Sale will be back in there, and then Danks and Peavy start at Wrigley on Saturday and Sunday. Those better be wins.

Half of the season series is over with Cleveland. I'll take 5-4 right now. Need to beat them at home in a couple weeks.

After this weekend with Humber and Stults, the next five games look like: M: Danks-Smyly T: Peavy-Scherzer W: Floyd-CJ Wilson R: Humber-Jerome Williams F: Stults-Samardjia Without facing Verlander and Weaver next week, it's a schedule that sets up well to get hot. It's an opportunity at least. Humber and Stults could be flipped. They haven't decided yet.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ May 9, 2012 -> 03:04 PM) Is this post serious? Yes. Wood is stupid for thinking a question about throwing his glove in the stands is out of line.

De Aza cf Beckham 2b Dunn dh Konerko 1b Pierzynski c Rios rf Ramirez ss Viciedo lf Morel 3b Off day tomorrow. Maybe Morel's last game if he goes 0-4?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2012 -> 12:57 PM) There's really no way that "The kid throwing again then going for an MRI" is good. Sure there is. It's what they should have done last week before they moved him to the pen. Again, we don't know if this is normal starting pitcher soreness, or if he has structural damage. So it's good they're going to take a look, and make an informed decision.

And Sale will get an MRI as well. So that's good. I hope it's clean, and he can go back to starting.

Is he just throwing this out there as his idea, or is this an actual rumor with possibly different players involved?

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 9, 2012 -> 11:13 AM) A 23 year old, under team control, should never be in charge of his own career. He's employed by the Sox. How they choose to use him is their prerogative. I think in this case, Sale should have some say. I mean, he was drafted as a starter. He signed early and cheap to get to the big leagues. The plan was for him to eventually start. He was told on the last day of the season last year, to prepare for starting. He did that. He was successful in five starts, and he experienced soreness. Ok, so was this normal starting pitcher soreness? Or my elbow ligament is about to snap soreness? Where's the MRI? Where's the pitch count or innings limit? I just think in this case, Sale has the right to do what he wants.

Sale should be in charge of his own career. As long as he's informed, given options and possible consequences, then it's on him if he gets hurt. If he says today that he wants to start, he should do it. But if he does start, then the Sox have to monitor it and manage him in the way they see fit...as a starter.

Wood owes that reporter an apology. Of course he has to ask about the glove throwing, and Wood should know better.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 8, 2012 -> 09:42 PM) Oh Kerry Wood you are fun to watch. Wonder if he makes it to the end of the season, or he just hangs them up soon.

I like how Reed keeps showing them and showing them. Are they watching? Has it become clear yet?

Crain will throw Wednesday. If all goes well, he'll be at Charlotte on Friday and Saturday.

The draft is about 4 weeks away. Here's some clips of the top players... http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2012/#list=draft I saw one mock draft with the Sox taking a high school pitcher. I doubt that happens at #13, but who knows.
