QUOTE(NCsoxfan @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 07:09 PM) As for Linebrink, beware of any reliever discarded by Padres GM Kevin Towers. There's no doubt that Linebrink benefited by pitching half his games at expansive Petco Park (18-4, 2.63 ERA in 130 career appearances there) and by pitching in the National League. Now he has to pitch against tougher lineups in the AL. Linebrink wasn't trending well, either: 3-5, 5.23 over his final 33 games. From a Boston newspaper... See, this is stupid as s***. Look at Linebrink's road splits. 06 - 39 IP 35 H 11 BB 36 SO 3.92 ERA 05 - 41 IP 20 H 10 BB 38 SO 0.66 ERA 04 - 42 IP 26 H 14 BB 35 SO 1.93 ERA 03 - 45 IP 34 H 16 BB 39 SO 2.60 ERA Anyone who trots out the spiel that Linebrink is good merely because of Petco is simply ignorant.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 29, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) Really? A young unproven pitcher with a bad rotator cuff and a 3rd starter upside and a "toolsy" Of'er for a proven MLB SS who had a great year isnt getting raped? They certainly didnt win the deal. He's 32, on the downside of his career, and had an outlier year in the weakest league in baseball. This was a stupid trade by the Tigers.

I was an OiNK member for roughly four years, and it's a damn shame it was shut down. OiNK was THE place for leaked CDs and obscure stuff that is almost impossible to find. The obvious result of this is that all the OiNK members will move to other subscription torrent sites and one day one will get as big as OiNK and the cycle will repeat.

Rockies, because Red Sox fans are the most obnoxious, annoying fans I've ever seen. Their feats of ineptitude and idiocy are unparalleled in baseball, and this includes Cubs fans.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 28, 2007 -> 10:22 PM) Looked like that way last season as well but it didn't happen. The Padres can compete with anybody cause of their 1-2. Like I said, I don't think the Phils have a prayer of winning more than one game in the post season, the Cubs aren't good and either the Dbacks to be completely honest. I like the Indians or the Angels in the AL. Before the matchups are set, I'll throw out Pads-Angels World Series. The only reason why the Tigers lost last year was because Tigers pitchers forgot how to throw the ball to first/third base.

The great thing about the National League is that because it is so atrocious, I cannot accurately predict who the hell will win the pennant. The Phillies have no pitching, the Diamondbacks should be under .500 and also are iffy after Webb, the Padres can't hit for s***, and the Cubs actually look like the best team of the bunch. If the Padres can find runs, they'll win easily, but every team has its own set of weaknesses that are pretty obvious. Whoever wins the American League, assuming it's not the Indians, will steamroll the NL in the World Series.

Oh, of course, because I think Sweeney and Collaro are overrated, I'm the same as you, the one who will find any reason to b**** and moan about the minor league system. Look, it's perfectly acceptable to be pessimistic about the minor-league system because it's pretty bad. But when you start grasping at straws with Poreda or start comparing Gio to Danks (look at their stats, especially BAA and H/9 and try and make the comparison again), it comes across as trolling or mere thread s***ting. With regards to your judging talent tripe, it's apparently acceptable for you to wait for players to impress you in AA, but 50 IP in the Pioneer League is enough for you to say that the player isn't special. Perfect sense.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 01:19 PM) I think he's a college pitcher throwing in the rookie leagues, and putting anything down on paper about his ETA is irresponsible. When you think about what Gio did in his first professional season out of HS, and where he is today, Poreda doesn't really look all that special. Do you get off by s***ting on anything that is in our minor-league system? Twenty-year-old in advanced rookie ball has a WHIP under one, SO/IP > 1, H/9 at 5.63. Yeah, not impressive in the least.

Yay improving our draft position. We're on the way to the top!...which is located on the bottom.

You know those nets where you can throw a baseball at and they bounce back to you? Aim one directionally towards first base from the SS position.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 12, 2007 -> 03:00 PM) Suddenly all those who said KW fleeced Daniels in the McCarthy trade are silenced. One of the big things on this board on why McCarthy would never be any good, funny how that can be concluded already, but Gavin Floyd needs a chance, was the propencity to give up the long ball. I said maybe that total can go down, but was told no. McCarthy has allowed 8 homers this season. Danks-25. Dude, no worries, we got this Nick Mass....god damnit.

218 ABs, 75 SO. Adam Dunn, eat your heart out.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 10:46 AM) I couldn't turn down the quality of a Kelley School education. Hahahahaha, that's precious. Enjoy being surrounded by the dumbest people on campus while learning absolutely nothing. Kelley is an absolute cesspool outside of Finance, and I don't understand why people would want to study there outside of the false reputation it receives. Actually contributing to the thread, I'm moving in on the 18th (16-hour drive from Texas) for my Senior year at IU. I already have my Bachelor's in Germanic Studies, but I'm finishing up my Bachelor's in Economics next year.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 09:27 PM) nothing else really exciting to report on white sox farm system. W-s lost, Kanny off. Great falls just beginning and Bristol lost, I think. Line for Gio for the night: 6 IP 3 H 1 R 1 ER 3 BB 11 SO Meh.

Who in the f*** is on the mound? This cannot be our Gavin.

Needs more Ernie Young and Casey Rogowski.

Grindiest run ever.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 4, 2007 -> 12:55 PM) Also, Wiki is not on the 40 man roster - is that a recent thing? Doesn't he have to be on the 40-man? No.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 01:39 PM) It's a shame that Boone Logan will never reach his full career potential with the White Sox. He'll just never be used properly. Give me a f***ing break. It's the second inning and he needs to get hitters out. If he's going to give up a .350 BAA against righties, he should rot in AAA.

Masterson's stats: Lancaster A+, one of the best hitting parks anywhere: 4.33 17 GS 95.2 IP 103 H 22 BB 56 SO at AA 4 GS 1.04 26 IP 10 H 3 ER 5 BB 32 SO He's 22. If KW can get Masterson and Pena for Dye, it'll be a very fair trade for both sides.
