Anyone hear back from Ballantini regarding Humber? I messaged him about it last night, but nothing.

Blocking move. Nothing more.

Tyler Flowers has already thrown out half as many baserunners as A.J. Pierzynski, in one-eighth of the innings.

QUOTE (MAX @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 12:01 AM) Sadly, I think they need to change owners to change that. Many sources allude to this being true. Draft spending is much more Jerry than Kenny.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 22, 2011 -> 11:28 PM) Where do you rank him in the system at this point? I think I have him at 4 behind Viciedo, Reed and Thompson. Almost seems like he's 4th by default, but still. Weird, I just made my WSI post stating I'd have him 3rd behind Dayan and Reed. A case for him being 4th behind Trayce can certainly be made though.

Saladino 2-4 3B, BB tonight. His 4th triple in 4 games.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) 23 homers now for Trayce. Such tantalizing tools. I hope he can cut the strikeouts and up that average going forward.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) Wow only 5 pages Coinciding with that 5 pitch inning.

Heck of an at bat by Kinsler.

Carlos broke himself again.

Good start.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) Just a pathetic offensive effort tonight. I'm about 5 days away from rooting for an 0 for the rest of the season for Pierre so that KW doesn't bring him back. Ugh. I absolutely loathe Juan Pierre. I don't even want to consider him returning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) Brewers are pretty damn good right now, and Kimbrel has got to be the most electric reliever in baseball this year for the Braves. As a Cubs hater, I enjoy seeing the depth of great teams in the NL. I'm pulling for the Braves. Interesting and likable team makeup, and prospects for days. They are real fun to watch.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) Anyone still holding out hope for this year?? Not since before the all-star break.

Good luck with the Cubs Mr. Hahn.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) Ranger talking about Beckham having to work on his swing in the offseason....can't do it now. So that's Dunn, Rios, and Beckham that have offseason projects. This team is a joke from top to bottom. Is Ranger still performing the same ole song and dance regarding this lovely White Sox team?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:21 PM) So who wins the division, Tigers or Indians? Tigers 65-58: Chi 3-3-6 Cle 6-3-9 KC 4-2-6 Min 3-3-6 Bal 4-0-4 TB 0-4-4 Oak 0-4-4 20-19-39 Indians 62-58: Chi 4-4-8 Det 3-6-9 KC 3-3-6 Min 4-3-7 Oak 4-0-4 Sea 5-0-5 Tex 0-3-3 23-19-42 Tigers. Though I'd prefer the Indians. A much more likable and entertaining team in my eyes.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:32 PM) s***. Lotta strikeouts. The K's have always been his issue. It's why he's likely a 4th OF at best.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) A rubber game at home against a team in front of you, and lose to fall back under .500? That's another nail in the coffin. We get Harrison, Ogando, Holland, and one of the best offenses in baseball on deck.

Keep on keepin on Saladino.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:04 PM) Why did Sergio plunk that guy? I can't turn up the sound at work. The pitch was steered right in his back. I was wondering the same.

I dub thee Gordon Fields.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 09:20 PM) Such a freaking bust. Walker is such a terrible hitting coach, as this is Fields version 2 with Beckham. I'm waiting for every descriptor to include the phrase "slider speed bat."

The Indians radio crew making note of the significant hitch in Gordon's swing.

I like the Flowers approach.
