QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 12:06 PM) I'd love to add Wieters. Why? He just had Tommy John surgery, he's a free agent after next season, and he's also a Boras client. All good things.

Rodon to Arizona to keep working out and to make a start. Then to W-S on the 28th. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/unsig...140718_28079456

No.

Cool. It was obviously going to happen. Bit earlier than expected too.

God I hope not. Pukeworthy.

Trade him.

7 K's through 5 for Danish. Also 2 H no BB. Like.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) Don't battle the resident nerd. Dude has never actually seen a baseball game in his life, but he'll tell you all about it. Sabr and s*** like that. Soxtalk decided to make all the internet dudes mods. Jake has become the only dude that actually knows wtf he's talking about. Good job Soxtalk. Witesoxfan, eminor, rabbit and the rest of these lame ass douches have become the voice of White Sox baseball. Bunch of b****es. They will continue to project players they've never actually seen. Wow. How long have you been holding that in? For someone who consistently s***s on Gordon Beckham, you sure can't take it when people do the same about your guy huh?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 10:58 AM) Maurer seems reasonable. Any of those Red Sox names and we'd be absolutely laughing, enormously doubt the Sox would do that though. This. Those Red Sox prospects that were named are a pipe dream. I'd be okay with Maurer. His minor league track record is legit. Obviously needs to figure it out at the next level still, but that's what one should expect in a return for DV.

Jacob May doubles in his first AB. Dude is smoking hot this month.

I love Marcus Stroman. Really wanted him in the 2012 draft. Stuff is stick. The slider is super nasty. Height be damned. Excited to see him pitch.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 09:15 AM) I think it also jives with the fact that the Sox have now promoted him to AAA. If the Sox were worried about this, he wouldn't be there yet. He was sent back to Birmingham after the game.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 06:55 PM) 3.2 IP 2 Ks And for the record, I sure hope Beck proves me wrong. Lord knows the system needs some pitching.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 06:36 PM) From what we've heard, Beck has been told to work on certain pitches. Like he would go starts throwing entirely fastballs, or entirely change-ups or whatever. His promotion may because he has done well improving these pitches individually, and now they are ready for him to put it all together and throw whatever pitches he wants, when he wants. Like taking the training wheels off, essentially. I'm just speculating though based off what we've heard. His poor strikeout rate may be a result of that. I've read this as well from the Soxtalk people, but I'm still wary. I need to see some evidence that he has swing and miss stuff on a consistent basis before I can get on board. I think people fell in love with the Chris Beck draft pick and are somewhat ignoring the actual numbers to this point.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 06:17 PM) There's only one stat to look for with Beck - strikeouts. He'll never cut it if he can't increase the strikeouts significantly Yup. I still truly don't know what to make of him. Every now and them he'll pitch a game where it seems he's got the swing and miss stuff going. But then there are many other games where seemingly every single ball is put into play.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 11:27 PM) Petricka is the more likely candidate. He has three pitches, more of a starter's repertoire. Webb has 1 1/2, and he's lacking life on his fastball, in the tune of 3-5 MPH. He's destined to become another version of Nick Massett at the rate he's going. Petricka used to be a starter. He couldn't hack it. There is a reason he's now a pen arm...

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 11:21 PM) Lol. Oh well. I'm not gonna cry about close defeats late in games this year. At the end of the year we'll be wishing we'd lost each of these ones. This.

Lol

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 08:31 AM) I'll be glad when he signs, a bit because he's really important for the future, but mostly so I don't have to see Boras spelled as Bor-ASS ever again. A thousand times this. I mean it's not even remotely clever nor does it sound good. Despite this, there are certain posters that repeat it ad nauseum.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 9m Solid regular. He's better than I originally thought. @IIIWoodD: what do you think Micah Johnsons ceiling is? @WhiteSox Reply 2 Retweet Favorite

Strikeouts for Beck. That's what I like to see.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 08:26 AM) They said the same thing about Wade Boggs when he was in the minors. Third baseman, no power, not a prospect. Is this post serious?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 12:47 PM) AZL roster has the pitchers filled in so far. A couple new names on there so far: --RHP Lucas Shearrow as NDFA, from Rockford, has a pretty funny LinkedIn page if you want to see it. Pitched for SEMO, some JuCo ball, had TJS. --RHP Tanner Mendonca, 17th rd pick by MIN last year. Pitched in rookie ball for them, had massive control issues. Also at least some DSL guys on there already: Victor Done, Luis Martinez, Yelmison Peralta. Seems it was just updated again a bit ago. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t...os&cid=1997 Adolfo is indeed on the roster.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) If John Danks is back to his 2008/2009 self, that contract becomes a bargain in this day and age. I sure wish he was at his 2008 velocity.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) You're right, I just wish the punishment was more severe. Indeed. But changes won't happen until the next CBA.
