QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 03:12 PM) Boras is supposedly pushing him towards Oakland and Detroit. I have no idea where he ends up though, because Oakland is full at DH (Cust) and in the outfield (Davis-Crisp-Sweeney), and I don't know if Detroit has the money or if they'd even want to bring him in with Raburn, Jackson, Ordonez, Guillen, and Cabrera in the fold. Crasnick said Boras is also trying to engage the Reds.

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) I think people don't realize how much talent there is in other systems. Indeed. This is key. I don't think I can name more than 3 or 4 teams I wouldn't trade systems with.

Says Keith Law. While Keith Law certainly isn't a big White Sox fan, I find it hard to argue against this one. Even the Astros have jumped ahead of them. Here's hoping for a decent 2010 draft class. http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/insider/col...%26id%3d4861174

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 12:51 PM) Yeah, why the hell is CJ Wilson a topic at soxfest? Because he was asked about it during a seminar. He said he doesn't like CJ Wilson because he showed up Thome after an at bat. He then pointed out CJ got what was coming to him when Carlos hit a grand slam off him later in the same game.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) "might be close to signing"? Seems a bit weak. But if true, depending on the money he gets, I think I'm going to be pissed as well. No idea on the validity of the rumor. Just passing on what I heard.

Thome might be close to signing with the Twins per The Score 670.

Evidently CJ will be working on his catching during the new pitching mini-camp. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 06:13 PM) He needs more time in the minors.. atleast a year. His numbers aren't that great offensively down there yet. Wut? Have you even looked at his numbers? Offensively, the only knock on Tyler is his K rate. He is a power hitter with great plate discipline and a big swing. He is going to strikeout, walk, and mash things in large numbers. I think a great comp is Mike Napoli.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) or DH Clearly. It's where he should get the majority of his playing time.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 01:45 PM) I guess I'm not that familiar with him - what's his story - all i knew was that he is a 40 HR 100 RBI regular Not much to be familiar with. He does one of three things frequently. Walks, Strikes out, or Homers. Great OBP, great OPS. Can play a corner spot and 1st base. Neither of them very well. I suggested Dunn a few pages back, and I think he would fit perfectly as a lefty with plenty of thump. Monetary considerations might not work well though.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 11:56 AM) I just heard Kenny has a guy in mind and he's in discussion to get him. I don't have anything more than that and anything else I add would be pure speculation. I think he'll make one more hard push at Adrian Gonzalez, but I don't think San Diego is ready to let him go. I honestly don't know who it will be, but I got a sneaking suspicion it won't be anyone we have speculated too heavily about. There just aren't a lot of FA options out there, so you'd have to think the club is looking to go the way of a trade. Has their been any links to Adam Dunn? He hits 40 a year like clockwork and could probably add on more at the Cell. He likely wouldn't decimate the farm as their is only 1 year left on his deal. The 12 million he's owed this year would probably pose a problem though.

QUOTE (CSF @ Oct 24, 2009 -> 06:54 PM) And still no Viciedo. And it will remain that way. http://twitter.com/Jason_Grey/status/5175343073

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 10:29 AM) None are mentioned. Trayce Thompson and Josh Phegley are in it.

Is there a reason Huddy only went 3 innings?

Jordan Danks is back on the DL http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/?p=6088

Keith Law says we aren't signing Morgado unless there is a last minute change of plans. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/08/draf...ers-royals.html http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index...ame%3dmlb_draft

Hahn and Fabian were in attendance for Huddy's start tonight. Perhaps he will be in Chicago sometime soon? http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,2583716.story

QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 11:11 PM) There is a rumor going around another Sox board that Thompson is signed or will sign very shortly. Nothing to put much stock in, and don't shoot the messenger. The timing is curious and doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you ask me, but we'll see. If you are talking about WSI, that poster was right on with the Heidenreich signing.
