Jon Savarise, 31st round pick, going to NIU.

I think that my AAP Jeff Soptic is finding out quickly that just because you have a high 90s fastball does not make you invincible. Especially after today's game. OOOOOF. Better get those offspeed pitches refined.

If Floyd and Humber do not turn it around, we're probably in 2nd place by ASB.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) What do you think that the chances are of him getting called up to play 3rd base? If Hudson doesn't start hitting soon don't they have to try something? In the majors, according to Baseball Reference dot com, Dan has played a grand total of 9 games at 3b. And, 4 in LF.

I asked Mark Gonzales on Twitter about the Barraza story. Referenced George Takata's tweet and story too and retweeted it to Mark. I haven't seen any response from him yet. George Takata ‏@georgetakata Jose Barraza leaves Thursday to begin his pro baseball career with the White Sox. (as of 16 hours ago) Link here again: http://www.cbs47.tv/sports/story/Windy-Cit...kHTYgws.twitter Here's a reply that I received from George Takata: George Takata ‏@georgetakata @joelrobertperez Barraza had dinner with White Sox reps last night as well. They're excited to have him on board.

FutureSox has Thomas McCarthy signed.

14 (441). Anthony Bucciferro, RHP, Michigan St, MI has signed. He signed last week, it seems.

Joey DeMichele will sign soon.

Question...why isn't Storm's name bolded?

Just a writeup. re Derek Thompson, 13th rounder.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 06:18 PM) Any news about Hawkins yet Not yet. Courtney's team lost in the 5A championship in a stunner-like fashion. So we may not hear about him until Tuesday, IMHO.

Courtney Hawkins ‏@CHawkins10 Last time Illl be at my home church proud to give all the thanks to the man above for blessing me with everything I have! #LivingMyDreams (as of 11:56 am Sunday 6/10)

According to Kanny's Twitter, Snodgress was hitting 95-96 mph today. Not bad!

It would be a minor replacement, but demote Stewart to AAA and bring up either Doyle or Axelrod. Live with Hudson at 3b until the end of June and see what you have from there. Humber/Floyd ??? Don't even know. If Humber doesn't have any options, move him to the pen until he gets his act together. Floyd, IMHO, is still trade bait.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 12:46 AM) Trayce Thompson still hitting pretty poorly in A ball. Not sure how much time he will be given past this year before the BUST label starts getting floated. A 21 yr old playing in High A should not even be in the running for any consideration for the Bust label. It's a small sample size, but his June splits look encouraging. .259/.344/.630/.973 Give him some time. Those that follow T2 know that he's a raw prospect, high upside. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the minors until he's 24.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) Good finds everyone. I was a bit fried after updating the draft tracker so I've been too lazy to follow up on these guys. I did catch that 26th rounder Jason Coats tore his ACL on May 20. He was thought to be a potential first rounder a couple years ago, but took a bit of a step back the last two seasons. He was still first-team all-Mountain West the last two years so that says something still. The injury explains why he slipped so far, but I still like the pick. The crappy thing for him is that the article linked above said he turned down 6 figures in the 12th round last year. He won't get that in the 26th. At least he has a degree, but that sucks. I found a good story on the 36 rounder Matt Patishall here. Basically if the offer from the Sox is a good one, Patishall MAY sign.

Stoner has signed.
