Sox select Matthew Long, P, Miami Univ (f*** you, MU, get a new goddamn name

Indians take Hodges.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) Yes, even though he's a 3rd baseman he' sa very good hitter, a good athlete and can switch hit. Obviously we do have a few other guys at 3rd though (Fields and Schnur). I wouldn't be shocked if we take a catcher relatively early though in this draft and I think we'll load the first few rounds on PITCHING. Look for a potential closer here (may even be a reach pick). Yup, and we have a history of redrafting players who we've selected before (Getz, Brooks). Expect more pitching to be drafted.

Watching the video, he's a McCarthy clone: big, big overhand curveball.

From MLB: Low 90s fastball, plus breaking stuff, knows how to pitch.

Well, here it is everyone: White Sox select Kyle McCulloch UT @ Austin

Angels take prep catcher.

Drabek gone to the Phillies.

Stubbs 8.

Kershaw at 7.

Draft tracker slowed down.

Miller at 6.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 12:01 PM) Last second mock of the top 10 from BA: 1. KC--Luke Hochevar 2. Col--Greg Reynolds 3. TB--Evan Longoria 4. Pit--Brad Lincoln 5. Sea--Brandon Morrow 6. Det--Clayton Kershaw (but this is the first possible stop for Andrew Miller, too) 7. LAD--Bryan Morris 8. Cin--Drew Stubbs 9. Bal--Billy Rowell 10. SF--Daniel Bard Is mlb's live draft thing working for anyone yet? Yeah, radio is working fine.

Hello 1 PM EST. Here we go.

Looks like a bunch of predraft deals have been done. Hochevar at 1, Longoria at 3, Morrow at 5.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) Jason Cage, P, Cal State Fullerton Fixed.

Sweeney has two doubles in two games with the one he added tonight. If he keeps with this pace....he'll hit a lot of doubles! He's batting .303 now BTW.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 31, 2006 -> 08:17 AM) Sweeney would NEVER hit .280 in the majors this year, stop imagining things. Sweeney has a slugging percentage of .393 in the minor league right now.. I don't even want to think about what it would be in the majors. Give him time in the minors to develop his power and to come around. Sweeney would hit probably .220 in the bigs.. not .280 Uh oh, break out the 18-year-old minor league expert brigade to trot out drivel when they have no clue what they're talking about. While I'm not for bringing up Sweeney, his SLG% doesn't translate into BA, so I have no idea what logic you're trying to use. And to whoever made the quip about Sweeney playing in a bandbox, the majority of his hits are singles, so it's not like those are going to disappear if he gets promoted.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 30, 2006 -> 12:19 AM) 2. I always have and always will hate and wish the worst on the Cubs. That whole operation is an embarassment to Chicago, all of them....the fans, owners, front office, ballpark, neighborhood, all of it. An embarassment to Chicago? You really need to stop exaggerating the current status of the Cubs and start paying attention to other things. Last time I checked, the White Sox won the World Series last year and have a good chance of doing it again this year. Yeah, the Cubs are awful, get over it. And if you honestly think that Wrigleyville is an embarassment to Chicago, you should really go to the lovely parts of the South Side instead. I heart Stateway Gardens and parts of the West Side are absolutely beautiful in the summer. Wrigleyville is a very cool place, it's just inhabited by too many yuppies.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 28, 2006 -> 12:37 PM) Hitler and the Nazis never actually won an election. The NSDAP did however win a plurality in the Bundestag two or three times. I think it's comparing two different things when comparing an Electoral College system like ours, and a proportional representation system that the Weimar Republic used. That being said, I've never understood the analogies of Hitler and Bush. If you want to call Bush a fascist according to Dr.(?) Lawrence Britt's examination of prior fascist regimes, you can certainly argue it, but to refer to him indirectly to a dictator is, well, idiotic to put it rosy.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 25, 2006 -> 11:10 PM) There is not enough tin foil in America to make the hat you are wearing. To take a rip from the Onion: KENNEDY SLAIN BY CIA, MAFIA, CASTRO, LBJ, TEAMSTERS, FREEMASONS President Shot 129 Times from 43 Different Angles

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ May 25, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) Wow, here is to a speedy recovery One thing I noticed about the article was the three areas that have had reports of this terrible illness. Bay Area, Gulf Coast and East Flordia the only thing the have in common is they are next to large water areas The one corollary discovered by doctors that many people with Morgellons also had Lyme disease sometime prior. There is debate, as the article mentioned, of whether this is adelusional parasitosis or an actual disease.

I'll be at the game tomorrow and will give him a standing ovation every time he steps to the plate. He WAS the organization throughout the 90s, and to dismiss everything he's done because he said some stupid things when he left is extremely myopic and most of all ignorant.

QUOTE(WCSox @ May 17, 2006 -> 11:43 AM) That's a real bush-league attitude. The fact that Barry's "not a good guy" doesn't mean that he deserves to get plunked with a 95 mph fastball. Unless Bonds did something to provoke this, Springer was way out of line. How about blatantly cheating? Does he deserve it then? What Springer did was perfectly fine, and the people running to Bonds' defense are laughable. Maybe Springer could have rattled a few brain cells loose in Barry's head if he nailed him in the ear flap.

QUOTE(beautox @ May 16, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) Most likely, but wasn't that ESPN's own Steve Phillips who made the call? when i was watching the Cards Rockies game a while back i recall everyone in the booth ripping him for that. It was Dan Duquette.
