QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 07:52 AM) Kevin Goldstein ‏@Kevin_Goldstein Very, very low. RT @JoeCoolMan24: @Kevin_Goldstein Likelyhood of the WSox drafting a HS player in the 1st RD? FWIW, I think he's wrong about that this time.

Lordy, this draft is weak as a result of all the teams that paid way over slot the past few years. If you're gonna roll the dice, this is the time to do it.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) Spoken with an odd amount of certainty. Just sharing what I was told.

Sox are in on Youkilis and if it happens they want it done soon.

Jake is gonna struggle again tonight.

If he maintains this all season, with his defense, that'll work.

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 26, 2012 -> 01:00 AM) Well, if the best your farm system can offer is a couple of relievers and a pitcher who's made one decent start and one good relief appearance, then yeah that sounds pretty barren. That said, I like Reed a lot and I could Jones being similar to Jesse Crain. Who said anything about the best they could offer? Those guys are just what they need right now.

For a supposedly barren farm system, this club has promoted some seriously talented young pitching lately.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2012 -> 09:59 AM) And most of the team with their heads up their collective asses apparently That or they just came from a friend's funeral service and their hearts and minds were elsewhere...

QUOTE (Cali @ May 22, 2012 -> 09:16 AM) Worst team in the league. Sox finally got over the hump last season of Twins owning them. New manager who doesn't trip over his feet to praise them. DOMINATE. and they just swept the Tigers in DET.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 22, 2012 -> 01:52 AM) I think this is true. You have to play those guys and get them in the field and at bat to keep sharp FrodoBridge is case and point. His timing at the plate is awful right now.

You dont bat Hudson 2nd. That'd be three straight from the left side to start a game against RHP.

Can't believe there was no other option for a short term 3B??

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2012 -> 05:47 PM) Oh, one more Trib blurb: Why does this franchise constantly insist on forcing players into unnatural fielding positions?!

QUOTE (Cali @ May 17, 2012 -> 11:10 AM) Break out in what way though? Cause they ain't winning 95 again. Maybe 89-90 with that staff as it's pitching right now... I still think Detroit wins, but they wont be that good. The Sox will win like 83 and Detroit 90 and it'll be like every f***ing year seems to be.... The Tigers are not good right now. They aren't "breaking out".

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2012 -> 09:31 AM) This team is going to be streaky this year. That's what happens when you have this many kids in the line up. "This many kids?" You make it sound like it's a majority of youth. It's Morel and Viciedo. The rest are 2+ year vets.

QUOTE (danman31 @ May 16, 2012 -> 12:13 AM) Yeah, back to not being good at baseball. Say what you want about the injury, but the things that were question marks to begin with (contact rate, raw baseball skills) are the things that are hurting him now. His speed may not be what it used to be (or that could be a bad scouting report), but he has 7 triples and is 9/10 in steals. His speed is still well above average.

So I guess it will be Thorton who gives up the lead to Detroit tonight. It's been more than 24 hours since Thornton blew a lead.

I don't expect The Condor to be lights out tonight. He'll be pumped to prove which could work against him.

It is beyond stupid that Reed isn't the damn full time closer. Period.

That swing is straight outta 2009. Oppo power with a two-handed follow-though. Keep it up, Bacon.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 8, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) The draft is about 4 weeks away. Here's some clips of the top players... http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2012/#list=draft I saw one mock draft with the Sox taking a high school pitcher. I doubt that happens at #13, but who knows. Lance Mccullers has White Sox written all over him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 8, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) Now Santiago's velocity is down 2-3 MPH on the fastball. Seems like he is aiming now and not throwing free and easy. That happens when you have one pitch and it's a straighter than straight fastball.

Hawk totally knows this game is going to the Tribe. LOL.

Santiago here to lose it. Just a disgusting job of staff management.
