Is Escobar now a pirana?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:06 PM) So does humber go to pen? Back to a 6 man rotation with rest for sale/q? That's my guess Agreed, have to be going to six man.

KW should solely be focused on getting him ready for 2013 and scratch this season. Make a move KW, you have a lot invested in this guy.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:26 AM) It's highly unlikely Walker is in that trade. It's probably a thing where the Astros get a list of 3 pitchers, and they get to pick by a certain date. I agree, there is no way, Walker, Thompson, Johnson or Soptic are the PTBNL that makes the trade too expensive. I know we all have anxiety as to who the mysterious player might be, but it is not going to be one of our elite guys.

Any update on DeAza is he in the line up today?

Greinke to Angels...............

Buehrle is Coop's heir apparent.

I'm on the keep Beckham bandwagon as well, stellar D, his hitting will come around.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) HOW DO YOU GET YOURSELF A 14 THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT HOME IN SCOTTSDALE And yeah, he's been doing "it's all good" since at least last year, if not 2010. I got particular joy out of GET OUT OF THE WAY, SEPTIMO! in Boston last week. Man, is he terrible or what? Thanks for the quote. Kudos on Septimo as well.

I like the 14,000 square foot house comment the best, do not remember how exactly it went, but that was great. Have not heard much about Catfish this year.

Axelrod to the minors, kind of surprised it was him and not Septimo or Veal. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...ws&c_id=cws

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 08:38 AM) Mitch Mustain to Kannapolis. Did not follow this at all, kind of shocked by this. I never thought he would make it out of short season ball.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 09:07 PM) Cose with an awesome start. Where did he come from?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 08:45 AM) Have same feeling the day before Arnie Munoz pitched against the Expos, lol. You called that one totally, unfortunately you were right. Does Hernandez get sent down and other pitcher called up for the weekend until Floyd comes back?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 08:02 PM) While the money indicates somewhat the talent of the player, I wish I knew what, if any, other teams were after these guys. To me that would be the most suggestive sign of their talents. Just hearing the generic scouting reports does nothing for me. Agreed, but it has been a while since we spent seven figures total on international signings. Good start. As you say, if the Sox were the only team on this guy it would be disconcerting.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 07:06 PM) Thornton maybe? Wish we could be after Septimo's performance tonight, I think Thornton is here to stay.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 03:15 PM) I agree. And in a pinch he can play just about anywhere. But Hudson is probably the only guy I'd replace. Agreed, take Lilly over OHud any day.

This was another one of those 42 games that Hawk talks about.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 13, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) The thought of Bruce Chen dominating our lineup still haunts me. Well said, Sox have seen a lot of lefties lately, let's hope we can take this one. No Cy-Chen tonight.

Can MLB teams still offer to pay for a high school athletes future college expenses or is that banned in the new CBA?

This seems to be one of the high ceiling "SIGNED" draft classes we have had in a long time. Let's hope this pans out. Love the new system.

Agreed, glad we are back in the Dominican signing some players to boost the system. The new rules will really help us in this area as well.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 4, 2012 -> 07:30 PM) Where oh where is Dustin Hermanson? Love Dustin, the most unheralded member of the 2005 season, he was awesome in the first half of that year.

Sox sign Dominican shortstop http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,0,671347.story

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 4, 2012 -> 03:47 PM) Bobby Jenks Brian Fuentes Fuentes is another guy that KW has had his eye on for a while, would not be shocked to see KW take a flier on him.
