Williams and other Sox staffers would not elaborate on details of the investigation because it is ongoing. Williams wouldn’t say if financial improprieties were involved, but a source with knowledge of the probe said there were questions regarding the manner in which signing bonuses were distributed to Latin American prospects. Investigators were seeking to determine if Wilder and dismissed scouts Victor Mateo and Domingo Toribio were skimming from those bonus payments.

An MLB investigator confirmed to the Tribune on Saturday that the probe involved skimming and that it currently is limited to the White Sox.

“There are probably others who have done it and there may be others who do it, but we don’t view it as widespread or organized in any way,” he said.

Well, that was a little better than "nice"

That ball was almost past him. That was as good as a catch as he can make.

I took the "under".

Unfortunately...

Since Crede and Uribe are both out tonight, Ozuna has to play.

by The Jerry Royster Experience on May 17, 2008 9:53 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Joe's out?

dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.

Is Crede available? Did I miss something?

by vince_ on May 17, 2008 9:54 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Aches and pains...

Guillen said that Crede wouldn’t be playing unless there was an emergency tonight, but he should be in tomorrow.

I think all these RISP are kind of like threats.

Like saying to the Giants ‘we can have them if we want them, but we dont NEED them.’

still not as good as Gar with the HR last year.

That was 2006

at the GAB in Cincy. I was at the game (the whole series)—a sweep of the Reds. Garland’s was hit pretty freaking far. IIRC, it was a shot to left-center.
