QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 03:19 AM) Well... Today's the last day! Is the deadline today (Monday) or was it last night at 11 CT?

The Sox are not the last minute signing type of team, I don't think there is any chance that Grimes or Terry signs at the last minute, we waited for Morgado the same way last year. We have to accept the class that we have signed (I hope I'm wrong though)

Not sure about the whole team, but he definitely gets praise for helping out Rios and the whole placement of his hands issue. Alexi might be more Omar, but yes Walker deserves some credit.

Anyone know if Sale was even in uniform for Charlotte tonight or he is already on his way to Detroit waiting on a roster move?

Any word yet on a roster move for Sale yet?

This is also showing why we needed to keep Jackson or get another starter if he was flipped for Dunn, no major league ready starting pitching in the minors right now. Harrell was flat out lucky last Friday.

Thanks for being a team player Threets, it allows you to stay with club, get a major league salary as well and help our roster!!

I hope the Sox make a lot of promotions soon with some of the new guys to clear out some of the dead weight to see what we have the last month of the minor league season. (Gilmore, Wilkens, etc)

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 08:30 PM) He did something similar last season as well, apparently he's not a fan of April and May either. He should be July's AL Pitcher of the Month.

It's interesting because we are Sox die hards, but if it were the Reds or any other team, would have no interest.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 09:19 PM) Most impressive debut of the 2010 guys for me so far and by a good margin. I agree, happy to see Petrika go against some more developed competition, you think he has had a better debut than Sale?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 07:07 PM) I don't think so. In fact, I can't even think of the last person to play in the majors the same year he was drafted. Didn't the Nationals rush that college closer, Wagner maybe to the majors and he blew out his elbow, maybe Joey Devine at the time with the Braves as well came up the same year.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 03:11 PM) I wonder if we see Sale called up after Torres goes down ( should he Torres even come up Tuesday ) Speculation based on speculation ha! Who goes down for Torres?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) If they both pitched on the same day, then one of them would have to go on 3 days rest for their next start on Saturday. Good point, but I was thinking only from the front end of things. I hope this does not mean Threets has to go as he has some potential at the moment and should have been up all year.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) torres will start a game on tuesday and then expect to see your new first round pick shortly after!! Why is this, wouldn't it be the normal day for Freddy and Buehrle on Tuesday anyway, and who would we designate or put on the DL?

I was convinced tonight was the night the streak ended, great work. Viciedo looks great!

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:27 PM) How did we make room for Harrell on the roster? Is the Huddy for Jackson deal still not official and we took Huddy off of the 25? Apparently it is all pending physicals so that gives us some time before he is officially added to roster.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) Nightendale reports Berkman exercised his no-trade rights for a possible trade to the White Sox. These guys are still bitter about 2005. That hurts, if we had Jackson and Berkman today would be partying!!

If Hudson gets traded today, who pitches tonight?

I was not a believer in bringing up Sale, but he seems to be doing great!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 11:52 PM) Hi my name is Jeremy Reed and I drop bombs. I kind of hope JR gets a September call up there might be some cases where we need some outfield defense.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) Jeff Weaver is the biggest one. Weaver is legit, my bad on that miss.

I like the fact that Omar is pushing the Sox to go for it this year with his comments about trades!!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) I threw something together on FutureSox with some info on who's left. Link In my research I found a post on Rivals college baseball message board from a guy claiming he has sources telling him Grimes is going to school. Link Great info, thanks, let's hope this is just posturing as there are still a number of picks for all clubs that remain unsigned. We were really on the Morgado watch last year at this time. Most of the time when we are waiting on these guys the Sox have made the right call, some of the names I remember Bobby Hill, John Zeringue, Jay Mattox, Tony Richie etc........However, I still want Grimes, never can have too much pitching.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 08:44 PM) I really, really like Steve Stone. He is soooo baseball smart. He definitely called this gem by Floyd after the first. Agreed; however, bring Linebrink in to mop this up.
