Isn't Santiago probably done for the series after his workload tonight? Has anyone given any thought to sending Santiago down, going with a short pen for 3 games and inserting Dayan's bat into the lineup for the rest of the 3 game series? Then the Sox would have 4 days to figure out what to do next. Thoughts?

http://mlb.mlblogs.com/2011/07/06/white-so...antas-pitchers/ Mark Bowman of mlb.com seems to think the Sox are definitely scouting Atlanta's pitching but he hints that the Braves would be more interested in Pierre than Quentin. What? God I hope it's Rios that they are interested in.

Haha that show was awful yesterday. I texted Rongey a few things. Got no response of course. Then I told him that "J Hood was on the other station and I could not listen to him argue with himself anymore". He replied back: "TheScore:Later". Pretty good stuff. I get a kick out of it. He's a Cardinals fan anyway. He doesn't care.

For those who haven't been, Coors Field is a terrific park with plenty of activity in the surrounding LoDo neighborhood. There's also no shortage of cool outdoor activities in the area, for families and everybody else. I live in Golden, which is one of the real garden-spots of the area, and a neat little town with the world's largest brewery. Despite being at the western edge of the metro-area, I'm a mere 20-25 minutes from being parked at Coors. I mention this because I have a buddy who can usually get me the employee rate at one of the nicer hotels in downtown Golden, for friends and family who visit from out of town. Essentially, the deal is $55 per night, tax included, for a 2 queen-bed room that goes for about $130+. I MAY be able to hook a sizable group up with such a deal. I'll be going to the Tuesday night (the 28th) and Thursday afternoon (the 30th) games. Other enticements in Golden include tubing on the river running through town (way cool), the Coors Brewery tour, and drink prices at the local dive reminiscent of rural Wisconsin, circa 1978. There's also a rather unique and high-quality golf course for you duffers out there. http://www.fossiltrace.com/ I realize now that I should've posted this weeks ago, but flights are cheap, or if you drive like I do, you can make it here in ~15 hours. It would be excellent to meet some of ya'll! I'll be in Colorado. Not sure if I am going Wednesday and Thursday or just Thursday but I will be there

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) I do not think this will be true for much longer though. Scott Merkin had a piece on Whitesox.com about Viciedo and he was also on the score with Rosenbloom and McKnight earlier this evening. Merkin seems to believe that Kenny would ideally move Quentin to LF right now and call up Viciedo to start in RF. He also makes mention in the article of KW saying that Viciedo and Quentin will be in the same Sox OF at some point and it is someone else's job to figure out who leads off. Ozzie obviously would rather have a more traditional leadoff type hitter and hence sticks with Pierre. IMO, Kenny is dropping the ball though by not overruling Ozzie and making the move if that is indeed true. Sorry guys. I did not read the beginning of the thread where the article was posted. Hopefully, the stuff from the score is helpful still.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 08:00 PM) Sox have stated all along that Viciedo will be called up only to play fulltime Right now we don't have a spot for him He can't play 3rd We have somebody in LF, and RF We already have a DH We already have a 1B I do not think this will be true for much longer though.

The centerpiece of the Jake Peavy trade was let go by the Pads today. The White Sox already re-acquired Dexter Carter. Any chance they look to do the same with Poreda?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 12:11 PM) A NTC can block a waiver claim too. Either the Sox are going to have to claim Manny, or he'll have to clear, and from the sounds of it, even with right around $5-6 mill left on his contract, he is probably not going to clear. From what I understand Manny does not have a typical contract. The Dodgers structured that deal to pay Manny deferred money over the next 2-3 years. With these terms, I find it highly unlikely that anyone would claim him. He would just pass through and then go to whoever works out a deal with Los Angeles. Again, I could be wrong here but I was always under the assumption that because of the deferred money, he'd clear.

QUOTE (Hollywood_AU @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:43 AM) Sounds like we may have "mystery starter" pitching for us tonight (or Pena). Kinda makes me nervous with the DH with the Tigers coming up soon. Some guy just texted in to The Score and told Matt Spiegel that he is buddies with Lucas Harrell and that Harrell is on his way up to start tonight. Obviously not a great source, but that is what was said.

Hey Guys! I am a longtime reader and new poster. I was on Baseball Prospectus's website at a buddie's house and saw an article on an interesting trade for the White Sox. I am not a subscriber to Prospectus but the writer listed her 5 trades that SHOULD be made in her opinion, before the deadline. The trade has Miguel Tejada and Luke Scott going to the White Sox for SS Prospect Escobar, Lucas Harrell, and Jhonny Nunez. My first impression was that it would take much more than that from the White Sox end but would be definitely be all for it if possible. Thoughts??

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 01:33 PM) Kenny Williams should definitely stay. I love Ozzie, but if he can't straighten his sh*t out I'd like to see Dave Martinez from the Rays given a chance. Thunderbolt's signature about Ozzie scares the hell outta me though. I am pretty sure that Sandburg will get the Cubs job and then Dave Martinez will swoop in and steal it from him

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 10:43 AM) I'd rather see Quentin in there than Jones but this lineup matches up better without a DH and is good defensively. Didn't Omar account for 67% ofthe Sox runs yesterday...... Yeah he did, but Omar supposedly had to go back to Venezuela to take care of something. Should be back Sunday.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 10:19 PM) Indeed. It is a torn tibia. Most likely season ending.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 26, 2009 -> 10:24 PM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4771388 Chan Ho Park is suing Chad Kreuter for failing to pay off a little less than half of a 460,000 dollars(which has grown with interest). Ouch Its funny that Chan Ho Park who bankrolled 70 million dollars for doing nothing the last decade is that angry over 230 grand.

I read in someone's column a couple of weeks ago that it would surprise no one if Freddy Garcia is back with the Sox. I love the idea. Garcia is a gamer. He could definitely win you the 12 games that Javy won last year. Garcia would be cheap too
