QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 08:14 AM) Guess who hit it? That is actually really interesting.

I know before today Reed was a Top 5 reliever according to fWAR

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 08:56 AM) Israel isn't our ally by the way, they've been causing more problems than they solve for a long time now. Except they are.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 12:21 AM) 5 IP, 3H, 4BB and most importantly 5Ks. Obviously the walks suck but Beck putting up 1K/IP is huge. Especially against a great line up. Developing pitchers is fun.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 10:23 PM) We party is what we do! No more sweating out what those loony toons will do next. The same applies to Israel by the way. We're getting nuked next if that's the response. And I enjoy your disregard of a US ally.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 09:07 PM) Why stop now. Get it get it.

Hypothetical: This same situation erupts in Iran, with a civil war. A nuke is used. Do we sit by?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 04:51 PM) I agree 100 percent. I think Q has passed Santana on the prospect list. Q is a better pitcher IMO. Yes. But neither are prospects! Q is the 20th best pitcher in baseball according to WAR. Santiago is around 50th if he had started the whole year.

I'd be cool with Pence, though Abreu tops my list and then McCann. I think Wite proposed ADA or Viciedo for Sandoval? If Hahn pulled off that sequence of moves, then I'd be real happy going into next year. Hell, 2 would make me happy.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 01:22 AM) Gatewood is the name I keep paying attention to. Obviously Beede is going to be a very high pick too, but I really hope we go position player with our first 2-3 picks. We seem to be stocking pitchers. If we get a top flight RHP prospect and the organization thinks he can be developed, I'll take it.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 12:02 AM) Sale is not a good example though. Very, VERY rarely are drafted player dominating pro ball a couple months later. Not many are dominating pro ball a couple YEARS later. All pointing to Sale will do is create unrealistic expectations for people to complain about when our top 5 pick next June is not in the pros within 12 months. Oh, I know. But then Beckham. It's not gonna take years and years if they draft right.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 08:49 PM) Yeah our offense is quite putrid. We stand about a 5 percent chance of beating any team in an East Division ballpark with this current lineup. But no matter who we draft, it'll take forever for that player to reach the bigs and I have no confidence our ownership will pick the right guy. I probably should stop being a Sox fan considering how little I believe in them right now. I'd spend the offseason spending some money, signing some guys with a clue at the plate, maybe sign a good set up guy and beg Dunn and Konerko and Keppinger to retire (even though I love Paulie; I'd rather have him retire than sign with another team). This team could easily be out of it by May 1 next year if like I said before Detroit goes 20-8 and we continue this suckage and go 8-20 which is entirely possible especially if Robin stays. I think it's pretty obvious he's overmatched, at least that's my opinion. Kinda funny, considering all these "draftniks" have said that the Sox aren't out next year if that's the case. Rough start, but not out. And why does everyone think the draft pick will take years? Sale anyone?

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 07:44 PM) Huh? What's that? Bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, 2 outs, full count, down by 3 and hitting a grand slam is my guess.

Seeing Tommy Hunter reminds me how he and Chris Davis were traded for Koji Uehara. Now I'm sad that Crain was hurt.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 09:34 PM) Not really. Kotsay is another bust who I disliked greatly. I always was of the opinion KW also was in the organization. He's as much to blame as Ozzie. What was Ozzie going to quit if he didn't get his way on Kotsay? But in answer to your question. Ozzie obviously blew it there. I'm sure after a month he was as sick of Kotsay's lousy at bats as everybody else. But again, that's on Kenny as well as Ozzie. Doesn't Kenny have a say in anything? Lord.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 10:20 PM) Just curious how early in the season in 2014 the draftniks on this board will start rooting for the Sox to lose every game. It's pretty damn annoying. So lets say we go 8-20 to open the year. Will you be rooting for all losses in May, June, July, August and September? Just curious.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 08:16 PM) Home schooled kids can pick whatever public school they want? That doesn't make any sense you would think they would have to go to the district they live in. That is the law, yes. But Tebow moved into an apartment in another district so he could play for a different team, so there are weak loopholes.

Tank Commanders Axelrod and Veal shall lead us into battle. So, yes, comfortable if it's on those two or other worthless players.

Fixed for irrationality.

Goddamn Leury is fast.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 07:48 PM) That's neat your brother also loves Ozzie. Does he swear as much as Oz? I just can't see another team ever hiring Ozzie as manager because of the P.R. hit the team would take. In this day and age you can't hire a guy who can be googled like Ozzie can be googled (comments on Castro, gays, drinking a six pack after every game, etc). Only Jerry can rescue him as Jerry is his father figure. Yes, and this is probably why I find Ozzie irritating at times but can feel for him as well. But trust me, having a Ozzie like personality around DRAINS you.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) From what Hawk was saying earlier, it looks like Konerko,Dunn, Alexei, De Aza are all in their final month as White Sox. He said Beckham was the most accomplished hitter returning next year. And I'm ok with that as long as we get good returns on Alexei and De Aza. I really hope Paulie retires though. Want to see him hang it up in a White Sox uniform.
