I just reviewed his stats. He had 11 really good years (1951-61), then got took old and numbers went down. In 1949-50 he was with Cleveland's AAA team, and had very good years. They already had Larry Doby in Center. Can't help wondering if there was subtle pressure not to bring Minnie up and have two black guys in outfield. Anyway, Sox got him in early 1951, and Chicago fell in love with him. The rest is history, and he belongs in HOF.

Not really, but we are in the Age of Transparency. I have always suspected that he wasn't even consulted.

C'mon, Scooter. If he can pitch, go after him. With a 13 man staff, there will always be room for a good starter. Not that he would sign with Sox, but you never know.

My crack scouting staff in Oregon reported that Adley had a rough night catching. Two throwing errors and a passed ball.

I wish some reporter somewhere would ask Paddy what he thought when the trade was made.

Let Rodon go. He doesn't want to be here anyway. if there is a negotiation between Hahn and Scot Boros, Hahn will get drilled. Again.

Only if we steal them from Twins. Speaking of the Twinkies, I bet they will be contenders for one of the two free agent pitchers.

One is the backup shortstop. One will be the DH if Alonso goes. Keep the Nick and Rick show going.

I'm thinking a pitcher, outside chance at Alonso.

Need a winning streak. Who goes down when Eloy comes up?

Please briefly explain.

Harold Baines

Now Boros might recommend a contract extension.

What?

keep posting.

In all these years, I never heard of a weighted baseball workout.

The Toronto broadcaster had a good explanation of today's safety squeeze with runners on first and third. He made it sound like good strategy, as long as you don't bunt it straight back to the pitcher

Do we have current stats for Vaughn? And the OSU catcher, too? I have tried to get them from school web sites. Not easy.

Epidural headache? Get a blood patch. Easy. Routine.

Just a thought on Collins at Catcher. If he is as bad as claimed, then if he were catching for Sox in last night's win vs Cleveland, Sox would have lost. McCann saved 3 wild pitches in one inning.

Sox website has those two guys gone, no additions named yet.

Sox remind me of the old St. Louis Browns in the 40's and early 50's.

Ray Berres was there long before Grissom. Berres joined White Sox in 1949.

Why would Matt Kemp want to play for the Chicago White Sox?
