Kinda surprised Thompson wasn't, although I'm sure he was discussed. Pioneer League had Blanke (7) and Royse (19). Holmberg was 15 Appy league had Heidenreich (17) and Petricka (19) Is there a link to some information on Blanke? Haven't followed him that much.

Against Twins, Go Rays!!

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) Paul K = Man Paul K = Baseball Player Glad he's with us. Paul K=Extension, I'm not sure....

Buehrle should not have thrown at the lead off hitter, you just saw that coming, wait until you have two outs, now we are in a huge hole tonight.

Dan Pasqua, ugh, that error in game 1 of the 1993 ACLS still hurts..............

Just realized the first game today is on the "U", I hate the U. Just had to vent.

Is Danks too old for the AFL or does he just need to get healthy?

Is Infante on the 40 man or does someone else need to be designated?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) Why not Lucy? Agreed, kind of shocked on Lucy and thought maybe two more pitchers as well.

So, again, what's the roster move for tomorrow.................................I still say Torres.

This is one of the non game threads of the year, great question and unless there is an MLB rule, that architect should have been fired.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:25 PM) I wonder if they DL Kotsay with Back Stiffness. Don't you think KW sends Torres down because rosters expand Wednesday and then call him back when his ten day commitment or whatever expires.

Ozzie wants a third catcher, probably Lucy, but maybe T-Flow.

KW is just in a big stare down with Coletti and he (KW) really holds all the cards, every day Manny is not in the line up, Colleti is looking at spending $4 million for a useless player, he will be on the road with the Sox next week, book it!!

Do the Dodgers owe Manny $4 million this year and $3 million next year in deferred money as well, or does the $4 million that is owed take into account next year's deferred money? Basically, is Manny owed $7 million total or $4 million, if it's 7 we have no chance.

Did I read that right in the Twitter updated that Petrika has given up 7 unearned runs?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) I hope I've seen the last of him. Agreed, chalk it up to a bust and move on. Same kind of career as Wyatt Allen, had high hopes.......fizzle........

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 09:51 PM) What logic did they use in getting McCulloch in the first round? It was either in the College World Series or the regionals, he pitched against another first rounder pick who had better stuff and beat him, Schaefer then fell in love with him, terrible draft pick, did not have potential form the start. Hello overdraft.

Isn't Threets on a rehab assignment and pitched the other day?

Threets for sure, hate the thought of Torres in a relief role. The lack of availability for relief pitchers tonight almost cost us a game, I'm surprised that Putz was cleared to pitch.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) Don't forget Rienzo. He is dominating this year. Has he moved into top 10 prospect position in our organization?

We need to give Castro a look, if T-Flow is not ready and they are looking to part with AJP, not a bad option.

I know we have been critical of the lack of Sox signings, but it sure looks like at this point getting Sale was a steal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Great news for Josh. If the Sox were willing to trade T-Flow and Jackson for Dunn they must think Phegley is close to being major league ready.

The lack of spending on the draft is disappointing, hard to understand, but remember we did sign Alexi and Viciedo off of the international market so we have not been a complete failure there. The Sox give a contract number and hold pretty firm, it's very rare for KW and JR to make a late movement with money as they are so committed to the slot.
