QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 02:10 PM) I think Rockin Robin would be a kickass manager if we went with the youth movement. I'd prefer Robin to actually get some minor league managerial experince if we were to go in that direction.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 02:06 PM) In he 1986 game, they were just describing this thing called "on base percentage." Wade Boggs had a .453 OBP, and they were like, I guess thats pretty good. Joe Morgan just shook his fist in rage.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 02:05 PM) He's in college. You are correct, McDaniel College. White Sox select the son of scout Larry Monroe. Grant, a RHP.

White Sox select Harold Baines. The son of The Harold Baines. A LF out of Mcdaniel College

I’m not sure I even like the repercussions of barely winning the division again. If anything this will just reaffirm Ozzie’s mad belief that the collection of guys he keeps putting out there are putting us in the best position to win for the near future.

Cowley speculates that Jermaine Dye, Octavio Dotel and even Bobby Jenks could be traded by the deadline. Also, speculated by Joe Cowley? That Nick Swisher and Orlando Cabrera suck, and AJ can't throw. Sorry, to drop that bombshell on everyone.

Hah, the Milwaukee group just let their kid call in one of the picks.

White Sox draft Taylor Thompson RHP Auburn.

I'm also going to pay attention to our undrafted free agents in the upcoming weeks. Never know when another CJ Retherford will fall into our laps.

Rain might delay start of game slightly but there will be baseball. 15 minutes ago from txt http://twitter.com/InsideTheSox

White Sox select another one of Kenny Williams' kids. What was the holdup? This one was Tyler a 3rd basemen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 10:11 PM) I was told tonight we're confident we can sign Thompson, but Goodwin is about a 10% likely signee. Wasn't Danks 2 still being represented by Boras when he was drafted last year?

I can't imagine that this is an actual injury. I think this is more about giving him some Contreras-esque time to work his stuff out.

Let's consider ourselves lucky that Colon won't be around to throw 85 MPH two-seamers to Fielder and Braun.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 11:21 PM) A little early to discount Halladay don't you think? I know Detroit most likely getting to the playoffs will help a lot. Greinke?

Gordon Beckham is starting to hit the hell out of the ball. It's only a matter of time before the hits start coming in bunches.

Dan Hudson continues to be one of the more fun pitchers to follow in our organization.

What can i say that hasn't been said already? We're a bad team.

I hate the bunt.

It was a joke, Cubano. A dumb one, yeah, but he didn't mean anything by it.

I just died a litte inside. Let's get him in!

I just want to quickly thank everyone whose contributed to both the days leading up to the draft and the draft itself. This board has been a tremendous resource and it makes me very proud to be a part of it.

Dotel in. Looks like we will not be throwing Poreda into the fire.

I feel really good about Danks tonight. A great turnaround from his last start.

Awesome! Thank God we ran ourselves out of that inning! Wouldn't want the momentum going for too long.
