QUOTE (Pale Sox @ May 25, 2011 -> 02:28 PM) Kevin Goldstein today: "Dayan Viciedo, 1B/OF, White Sox (Triple-A Charlotte): 3-for-4, 3 2B, 2 R, RBI. Up to .318/.362/.538 in 44 games and Juan Pierre still plays every day in the big leagues" THIS. Yet the GM and even worse, the Manager, don't get it. I'm going to be in the extreme minority when I say this: I would rather see Viciedo, Danks, Flowers and Gallagher up on the Big Club and watch them than what I am currently seeing in Dunn, Pierre, Pierzynski, et al.

here we go again tarrant co...severe t storm warning. 60 mph winds.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 24, 2011 -> 09:52 PM) No. Tarrant County (Fort Worth). But I'm watching it as I get hailed on again. Crap, stay well and safe buddy, I'm streaming from San Marcos, south of Austin. Prayers to you guys over there.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 24, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) Shotguns. Again. My poor roof. Kap, are you in SE Dallas?

wow, tornado on the ground SE Dallas. And IMHO that tarp should stay on...those storms are west moving east/ne to Arlington.

QUOTE (danman31 @ May 22, 2011 -> 03:05 PM) Damn beat me by a few minutes. Mitchell back in the lineup, already with 2 hits. Good to see him back, not strikeout during the whole game, and have two hits and runs! Not bad buddy, keep it up.

Winner threads never get old.

Trayce Thompson, meet Jared Mitchell.....15Ks in his last 48 ABs. Not good. Speaking of Jared...he hasn't played since May 18th. Hmmmmmm......

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2011 -> 03:24 PM) Wasn't Lillibridge a Sox talk whipping boy coming out of spring training? Not trying to start a fight. It just dawned on me the guy we love now I think was pretty much universally despised. Welcome to Chicago, a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately kinda town. :cheers

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ May 21, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) What about this? DFA Pierre and keep Lillibridge in left. Can´t be any worse and I really see some effort from Lilli this year on both the O & D sides of the house. Good minds think alike buddy!

Seriously. Why doesn't Ozzie play Lillibridge in LF or RF more and move Pierre to the bench where he belongs?

never mind. just saw the lowlight on the Mitchell tying HR. AJ was calling for the pitch outside and low, Santos delivered it right down the middle, with a little tailing in. mistake pitch and Mitchell got it.

C'MON BECKS BE A HERO...

This Jansen kid can throw. A 97-mph CUTTER?!??

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 19, 2011 -> 08:53 AM) Interesting that comes out at the same time that Kenny's other comments. I'm sure that means someone in the OF is in danger of losing their job. Want to throw this out there. Is Carlos Quentin in danger of losing his job? I wouldn't say he has an extreme case of being a streaky hitter, but ever since his breakout season a few years ago, hitting over .280, 36 hrs, he hasn't really come close to that. And this year, same thing; HOT April, cool (so far) May. I know that Juan Pierre is in danger. Would KW might be dangling Quentin in a trade??

Floyd @ 103 pitches at 7 innings. Pitching change coming up?

T.C.Q.

OVAH!!!

*sigh* Mitch has 20Ks in his last 42ABs. Rob Deer-esq.

Some interesting streaks going on for the month of May: Dayan Viciedo: .418 BA, 23-55, 7 doubles, 2 HR, 19 RBI, 6/10 BB/K, .468 OBP, .655 SLG, 1.122 OPS Justin Greene in AA: .364, 16-44, 7 doubles, 9/10 R/RBI; but...2/11 b/k. Still, the k/ab ratio has improved. Josh Phegley in AA: .333 BA, 15-45, 4 doubles, 2 triples (!), no HRs though, 10/7 R/RBI, only has K'd 8 times, which is an improvement too. Christian Marrero: .364 for the month of May. Dallas McPherson is hitting .321 for May too, but...19Ks in 53 ABs. Some things never change. Jim Gallagher...his OBP continues to climb, so far it's .391 for May.

Charles Leesman has now collectively pitched about a full year of AA ball, being pretty good. 17 games, 8-2 record, 93 IP, 69 hits allowed, 35 walks, 79Ks, roughly a 3.00 ERA in Birmingham. What is preventing him from being promoted to Charlotte? And just how good is he, stuff wise?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ May 11, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) Kenny Williams Jr. is literally the slowest runner on the Barons roster. He runs like he has a piano strapped to his back. And yet, supposedly, he supplies ENERGY TO THE LEADOFF SPOT.

QUOTE (danman31 @ May 11, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) Sounds like a top 20 prospect in this system! You mean top 10.
