I wish I could be a fly on the wall when Kenny negotiates a bad trade like this. Hudson for Jackson is bad enough. How was he convinced to throw in Holmberg, too? Given the big difference in salary between the two principles, I would think that we should be getting one of their prospects.

...And, why would he want to sign with Sox?

D-backs so far. Haven't seen reports from anyone else.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) It's ludicrous to lump those 3 together. Weren't they all #1 draft picks? All pitchers. Maybe McCullough was a #2? Doesn't seem ludicrous at all.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 07:01 AM) Is that really unusual? Rockies have signed 13 draft picks as of 6/14.

Poreda, Broadway, McCullough. That's quite a Hat Trick. Wonder if the same Scouting personnel pulled the trigger on all three??

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 04:48 PM) Sweet, I believe McCullough was the last "bad" 1st round draft pick that was still in the White Sox minor league system. Let's start anew with Beckham, Mitchell, and Sale. FYI, K McCullough still in Cinci system, now at AA.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) I know a few weeks ago, people were saying that the Marlins wouldn't be an option for Ozzie since they were doing so well. Since then, they've imploded and look to be on their way to a disappointing season. Just something to keep an eye on for the next few months. Marlins get their long awaited new ball park next year. Would not surprise me if they got a big name manager for PR if nothing else.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:47 AM) Not sure if this was posted but.. Edwin Jackson vs Daniel Hudson, Friday. I would hope J4L has scout seats for this one. Maybe the DBacks will bring up Brandon Allen for the series. He's having a decent year at AAA Reno. 60 games, .299 BA, 9 HR, 39 RBI.

I think we should play Peavy in LF.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 10:11 PM) I went to a game and he was in the bullpen. He was not used to ignoring fans. I screamed "HEY AARON!!! HEY AARON!!" He turned around "Yeah?". I was completely shocked he acknowledged me. I panicked and blurted out "Uh....we are friends on facebook!". He gave me a thumbs up. I am such an idiot. You're not an idiot, just a baseball fan.

Padres designated Aaron Poreda for assignment today.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 01:10 AM) why does majority of you guys wanna rush up Viciedo? He is only 22 years old, well ya I know Pierre hasnt been impressive nor has Dunn but like what KW and Ozzie have been saying you need to give as much ABs as possible not just platoon him with Dunn vs Lefties and only play like 3 days a week. We already have witness somewhat of what rushing a player can result in (eg: Gordon Beckham). Heck even the Jays haven't called up Lawrie even with the horrendous production they have got from the 3B spot. Let Viciedo mature as a hitter first, cuz if we want him to reach up to the elite potential level that he is capable of then we gotta wait till he polishes and improve his skills. We signed for $10mm for 4 yrs. 1.5 yrs left. If he can hit, bring him up. The arbitration/ FA clock is already running.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ May 31, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) So you believe Dunn will hit .190 for the remainder of the contract? No.

Josh Fields was picked up on waivers by Brewers last week.. His stats at Colo Springs were .383/.458/.677/1.135.

Every guy in the lineup got a hit.

PK closing in on 2000 hit mark.

See what happens when Dunn is out of there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 30, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) That's not happening. RE: Supplemental Pick Mock Draft. What does he mean.... "The White Sox are tough to predict." That they don't know what they are doing?

Has anyone heard if there is movement from B'ham to Charlotte?

Kenny brings up Marquez to make the Swisher trade(s) look good.

Kenny is too stupid to know anything. Some other GM will come along and fleece him. And, Ozzie will continue to ignore him.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 29, 2011 -> 01:26 PM) Who could possibly be comfortable waiting for Kenny Williams make deals? We've already got Tyler Flowers, Kyle Cofield, Mark Teahen and Jeff Marquez? How much more can you expect one guy to do? Sign Manny again when suspension expires.

New definition of misery index: combined daily stats of Pierre, Dunn, and Rios. Today, 2 for 12 = .167. Yesterday, 3 for 20 = .150 looking forward to Ozzie's tirade after game today....

Minnie Minoso would have caught that ball in left. I don't mean the Minnie of 1951....
