who is better, Shaw or Vargas?

You're nuts.

Any political overtones there, Boopa? It's still 6 weeks or so until ST. I'm sure they'll get out.

Raleigh has had 2 straight years at a very high WAR. Soon, it will be three.

Swisher: Couldn't stand him. Then, he retired and was hired by Fox. Then, I really couldn't stand him. Click.

Doesn't sound like much to me.

Braston Baxter. I'm looking forward to watching his progress. Great report.

In order to compete as best we can as soon as we can.

Young pitching prospects get to the majors quicker if they go the bullpen route.

Good question, but I think the sides would have negotiated the bonus prior to draft day.

Bummer

Never mind, CWS answered it. Too bad. I always enjoyed his posts.

What happened to Harolds Left Leg?

Who is he hitting those home runs for?

The one play I remember vividly about Benintendi happened when he was playing LF for KC against us. We had a man on second, base hit to left, runner going, obvious play at the plate, and he made what I then thought was the worst throw I have ever seen by a left fielder. Shortly after that KC sent him to Yanks, and then Sox signed him to a 5-year deal.

Good.

Yes, and Boras did his best to screw it up for Sox. He asked for money way above the slotted amount, so much so that if Sox had succumbed, they would have forfeited their first rounder the next year. Boras is no friend to the White Sox. I'm delighted Roch signed elsewhere.

I'll give you guys something to fixate on. Who is his agent gonna be? Boras? If so, then we can have a real thread talking about the second-best player in the draft.

Kelly could have made it as a pinch runner. Fastest pitcher I have ever seen.

Boston traded him to Cards as part of the Contreras deal.

Well stated summary. And, it represents the best in legitimate collective bargaining.

Other than his throwing, he does an adequate job in left.

Gotcha beat by 1.

Jeez, I just realized TP is on the 40-man roster

yes.
