QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:40 PM) Well, sounds like we're going to go into rebuilding mode next year based on Kenny's no comment. In response to what question?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) I'll guess Yelich and Skipworth. I'd be stoked if we got Yelich. I don't think it's going to happen though.

I won't lie. I wanted to see Joey Bats blast one.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) Is Logan Morrison still in the minors? LoMo was and is a pipe dream. The Sox have almost no leverage here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) Dominguez is on the 40 man, I think That's okay. He's Brent Morel with less bat anyways.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 08:57 PM) Marlins have any decent prospects? Not really no. The Marlins system is actually near as bad as the Sox. Christian Yelich and Matt Dominguez are about it.

BNightengale Bob Nightengale #mlb The #White Sox are hoping to get a decent prospect, but not anyone on #Marlins' 40-man roster for Guillen in latest round of talks. 2 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply

QUOTE (whitem0nkey @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 08:32 PM) Dan Bernstein tweeted Davey Martinez is the name to watch -- right now -- as Ozzie's replacement. He is well-liked and well-apprenticed. Want.

Time to break out the celebratory booze. Later Ozzie. Douchebag.

Stewart throws a mean batting practice.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) Are you guys gonna watch next year? Seems doubful with some of the comments made about 2012. I certainly will. I just won't have high expectations whatsoever. Kind of like the majority of this season.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) I want Getz and Hudson back... Getz? Lol. Your talent evaluation is hilarious. Aviles was going to put this team over the top too right?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 23, 2011 -> 07:58 PM) Stewart just isn't impressive. God help us if he's in the starting rotation next year. He seems to be a very comfortable at bat for hitters. I'm okay with it. The Sox will be punting next season anyways.

This thread is terrible.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 10:39 PM) Stop blowing money on the Rios and Dunn's of the world... and you have money to invest in your minor leaguers.. Either pay them $2million now, or $14 million later to correct the mistakes of your drafting. It isn't that simple with the owner's aversion to draft spending, and refusal to go significantly over-slot. I'm not a big Kenny fan, but he would definitely be spending much more on the draft if he was allowed to. Jerry is far too hands on in this regard.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 08:25 PM) Ozzie shared my view of Reed having a good fastball/change but needing to refine his slider. Via Sickels as of August 2011: Baseball America rates the slider as plus-plus as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 08:07 PM) Reed's slider is really mediocre...good thing hitters seem to struggle against his fastball/change-up combo Most reports I've read note that his change is the 3rd pitch and the slider is typically fantastic. The Indians announcer corroborated this a few minutes ago. I haven't intently watched him pitch lately though.

Sox making a run at pick number 13 in next year's draft. Go Nats/Reds/Mets.

That was smoked.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) I've like Omar, but its time for him to hit the road. He's already stated he doesn't think he'll be back.

Oof. That's the Dayan defense that's been described so often to me.

September Morel is the best Morel.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) Ozzie getting fired is going to be sweeter than winning the World Series. Can't wait. I will be buying rounds at the bar when it happens.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 07:46 PM) It was just a matter of time. LF/1B/3B should be very good to the Royals for quite some time. I'd pencil in Myers for RF in the near future too. He will hit.
