On a random note, if you are ever in Nashville, the Sounds AAA park is a dump. Great city, decent prospects, park crappy.

Any update on Crain's status? Or will we see another call up for tonight?

Any work on Crain? Is he headed to the DL?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 12:13 AM) Both Alomars Daubach Kotsay Andruw Jones Jeff Nelson Mike Jackson Carl Everett, twice.

Is there a slotting system in place for picks after the 11th round? Do teams get penalized if they spend over a certain amount?

Not sure how this year's draft class will turn out, but the new system has to be advantageous to the Sox and for us. No more agonizing all summer if we are going to sign Grimes, Morgado, Gardeck etc......

Did he take BP at the Cell tonight?

Hopefully for Stewart......

I hope Stewart is DFA's or optioned to minors after tonight.

Can Johnson play 3B or is he just 1B/OF?

KW has explored him in the past, not to the same level os O-Hudson, Erstad, others, but I'm sure he was kicking the tires.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 07:06 PM) Who needs Mark Buehrle for $14 million when you can have the Colombian version of him for the minimum? He is playing with fire tonight, they have hit him hard, happy the Cards have not scored.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 11, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) Dan Johnson with his 15th homer and 47th RBI. Jack Hannahan on his rehab assignment, also saw Andy LaRoche's name in the box score. Can Johnson play third?

Is Hawkins' high school team still in the state playoffs?

Any update on Viciedo?

Yes, we will be reliving this one many times. It has been a while since Phil Rogers has written a column about the Chris Young trade as well as he likes to bring that up all the time too.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) Thompson was 3/4 and still at only .218. Wow. 8 homers and 42 RBI's on the season, at least he's making his hits count, there's that. Sanchez hitting .330 but OPS still under 800. Not easy to do. That is impressive about Thompson, to rehash a Hawk quote, "Don't tell me what you hit, but when you hit it."

Hudson redeemed himself for a crappy defensive night. Addison Reed had a nice inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) I swear Hudson was a player created in balta's lab to make us actually wish for Morel to return Great post. Yes, hoping for Morel or a Youkilis trade.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 07:26 PM) Sox could use a rubber armed reliever. Doyle deserves a shot. Take Doyle over Stewart right now. I only feel confident if the Sox are up 10 or down 10 when Stewart is in.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 08:27 PM) I posted something in the game thread about Rios' power, but both him and Crede have/had 5 opposite field homers in their career. Crede has 17 more career homers than Rios. Shocked by this, would have lost that bet.

Love Ozzie for the World Series, but being with RV would rock.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 07:53 PM) 3-run homer for Danks. Morel 0-4 Does Danks get called up for Fukodome tomorrow? What is the status of our 40 man, do we have room to add him?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 07:19 PM) Gardeck went 16th round to SF (8th in 2011 by the Sox) and Grimes just completed his sophomore year at Georgia Tech. Ben O'Shea (10th round in 2011) went to the Cards in the 35th this year. Jones slipped from 7th to 26th. Chadd Krist was a 13th rounder by the Sox last year and was taken in the 9th this year by the Cubs. He was a senior though so the Cubs may have wanted him as a signable guy in the top 10 rounds. Matt Ginther went from 14th by the Sox last year to 24th. Wow, truly appreciate the effort on this. This is great, thanks. Did not recall some of these names.

Being reported that Cubs were at Soler's workout today, anyone hear if KW had anyone in attendance?
