QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 06:12 PM) What the hell good does he do us in a vacuum? He abhors nature.

Why is Appel a tough sign? Is it that Boras is the agent?

Monday, 6/4. Charlotte has game scheduled. Sox have off day. This gives one more game for Morel; I would not be surprised if Hudson has played his way off the team. I think there is a good chance Morel is back on Tuesday, assuming he is okay medically.

Why is Trayce Thompson considered such a great prospect and Mike Earley is not? Earley's numbers are tremendous.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 05:51 AM) For what it's worth, John Heyman on the Score just said that Youk can be had for almost nothing in return if a team agrees to take on all or most of his remaining salary and buy out. Heyman indicated that is around $9 million. Then why don't they just put KY on waivers? See if anyone picks him up. Like we did when we took Rios. I think Boston is greedier than that. We'll see.

As I mentioned in the Catch All thread, the Cardinals are in the Youkilis hunt. I hope they get him.

Go get him. Use Tank as a recruiter.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 01:38 PM) Fuko never plays; it's hard to do anything in that scenario. I'm thinking he's good to have around on this team. I would love to see Danks as a Sox. For that to happen, they'd have to release Fuko. It wouldn't bother me if they did that, but I think Fuko is good to have around as well. I'd be shocked if Sox dumped a guy who never plays and bring up a guy to never play. Can Fukodome play third? Just kidding, but third base is a problem area that is going to get worse. The Denver Post today re-enforced the notion that BoSox have Kevin Youkilis on the trading block; Cardinals are in that hunt.

Crain is the modern reliever.....Out of the bullpen -- okay. Come off the bench for a second inning -- no way.

If Sox don't bring him up this year, he will have to be added to the 40 man roster, or he will be gone. Some team will pick him up.

Seems to me like thornton always gives up hits when he goes back out there for another inning.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ May 31, 2012 -> 10:38 PM) The Barons box score is much more depressing. Kussmaul with another strong relief effort.

Did Alexi almost overrun that last pop out in short left, or was I seeing things? If he missed that, two runs prob score, game over.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 30, 2012 -> 12:57 PM) Buster Olney's last tweet insinuates he thinks the pickoff beaning may have been intentional too 'Beaning' means he got hit in the head.

Tampa third baseman had a rough first inning. Don't think the pitcher is too happy with him.

Bottom half of the batting order kicked butt tonight.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 29, 2012 -> 06:54 PM) I think you all meant Tanks. Him and Sales are the future of this organization. "Him and Sales" ?? Where did you go to school? Or did you?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 29, 2012 -> 06:30 PM) Boston getting to Verlander! No longer unhittable.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 29, 2012 -> 05:08 PM) Ha, apparently Cooper snapped on reporters asking pitch count questions about Sale. Something to the effect of "Pitch counts are for people who have never played the game" Lol I have no idea why they make him available to reporters. He's right.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 28, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) Ravelo's last 10 games, he has 8 hits... all singles. He also has 5 walks, vs 2 K's. Lots of contact, good plate discipline, but little power. That's what they said about Wade Boggs.....

QUOTE (forrestg @ May 28, 2012 -> 11:58 AM) O hudson is on the all star ballot in the nl. I voted for him. i doubt if he wins but what would the rule be as far as being the #1 vote getter for second base in the nl but currently playing in the al. Would they allow him to play for the nl? Why would you vote for him?

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ May 27, 2012 -> 08:36 PM) Does anyone else feel sick to their stomach when you see Gio Gonzalez and then remember we had him TWICE.. ugh Yes!! Especially the second trade. By that time he had already had 3-4 yrs in the minors, and it was obvious he was going to be a big league starting pitcher. His last minor league season with us was 2007 at B'ham. 27 games, all starts, 3.18 ERA, 150 innings, 116 hits, 185 K's. He should have been close to an untouchable prospect, certainly worth a lot more than Swisher. The first trade, for Thome, could be justified at the time. The second trade of Gio to the A's was stupid.

QUOTE (seanjon21 @ May 26, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) Does anybody have any information on the bench clearing brawl against the Carolina Mudcats? Box score indicates Nick Cioli ejected, even tho he was not in lineup.

We face Ubaldo Sunday. If he is wild, we can score a bunch.

Ventura is determined to lose this game. He will not be denied.
