Jesus, Dayan. What is going on today?

Angels broadcast just showed Ozzie placing a call to Williams in his box.

It looks like the Dan Hudson era just started in the worst way possible.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 08:46 PM) Uh the uniform he is wearing begs to differ. He is playing ... and excelling tonight in the big leagues. He is a quality bench guy. How can you not see that? There is value in his speed and glove and occasional pop. He had some big hits for the white sox as well as THE CATCH. I like Wise. He can't hit and he can't draw a walk. He has no right to be on a big league roster for any sustained period of time. He's having a hot streak. Awesome. It's not going to last.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) Nix just hit another one today. Alright! I like following him even though i have no rooting interest for him anymore. It's nice to see him do well.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) His numbers suggest otherwise. They just do. Honestly, Wheezy's numbers suggest a move to the bullpen more then a spot on the bench.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 06:46 PM) yes there is. The head is part of that package of tools, and it doesnt work right. I'm talking in terms of the traditional 5-tool scouting set. Clearly, makeup is a huge factor in this discussion.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 05:21 PM) B.J. Upton is so overrated! There is no overrating that set of tools. He literally might be the most physically gifted player in all of baseball. Too bad his head is in a whole other place.

At least this lineup is less awful then the last one.

Jayson Nix with a two homer game. As soon as he raises that average past .218 he'll be leader of the free world.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) No f***ing way I put Pierre in right, you'd see a lot of singles turned into doubles lol Pierre has been doing a great job in LF, Upton in RF would make the outfield exponentially better simply for moving Q to DH full time.

Upton-Rios-Pierre would be insane defensively. That would be one of the best outfields in the league.

I'd kill for BJ Upton to be on this team. That package of tools is rare.

This gives the Twins a formidable rotation. This is a move that's going to need to be countered.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) Can you imagine anyone saying that this year after what we saw last year from both of them ? I never would have thought Beckham would have been a huge problem in this lineup.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) If true, we're f***ed. We reall need need to have another big bat in the lineup coming out of the All-Star Break.

This is all sorts of trouble if true.

I really wish we'd send Beckham down for a week and let Lillibridge play to the All-Star game.

That was a perfect ballgame. Great to see TCQ buckled in.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 04:34 PM) Yah, I think if Noah is the obstruction to obtaining Bosh+Wade or Bosh+Lebron you gotta trade him. Maybe you can get the Raptors to take Noah+Deng and then you can go out and get another few guys. It's a thin line though. Bosh is a better player then Noah, but if you trade one for the other without a guarantee of Lebron or Wade, you're in a tough spot.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) I'm thinking Wade/Boozer will be the result of this whole thing, guys. I think this is looking like the realistic option at this point. We need Bosh to be signed and traded to Houston which really shuts the door on Wade to Miami.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) Why does Ozzie continue to use the last guy on his bench so often? First it was Randy Williams and now Andruw Jones. Dammit Kenny...get him some tools to work with here. This is the story of the year, White Sox 2010 Baseball is the year that we abused supposed versatility.

Gardenhire actually approaches the game in a somewhat logical manner. Leyland's okay, Ozzie is baseball stupid.

Andruw Jones is 18 of his last 117. He has no right to be on a major league roster.

We usually play the Angels well so i'm somewhat encouraged.
