I assume

that “Jeff Larish” and “Brent Clevlen” are just some random names Leyland made up while he actually decides on his DH and left fielder?

was probably in another thread, but

Willis is now in A ball.

Larish is an Iowa product (via ASU)

Was considered by some to have the best power in the ‘05 draft (I think he was second to LaPorta in HR that year)... Some scouts really hated him, and his bonus demands outstripped his tools/projections…

He’s a decent prospect still, albeit one with less upside than when he was originally drafted… He essentially possesses the same skill set as Josh Fields.

Cleven killed us when we saw the Tigers early this year.

Cheat, did you ever consider asking Williams or Hahn

to visit here and take questins ala Beane?
Curious because I heard Hahn with Levine and Coopock and he seemed pretty open. Even made reference to “Sunday Lineups”

I think it was Clete Thomas

that killed us in the early games—looks like Clevlen just got called up.

Amazing if you had all that off the top of your head about Larish (which I assume you probably did given the timing of your post). Either way, thanks for the info.

You're right

but we saw Cleven last year

I know people who know Larish from his HS days. He had a ridiculous sophmore year at ASU that had some speculating him going #1 overall eventually.

Usually Robertson looks really good against us

(or at least ix mostly able to escape damage) but has 1 big inning… Walks are usually his undoing. But he’s at like 70 pitches, and hasn’t really struggled with control.

Fiddlesticks

Sox gave that one away.

Both feet on the bandwagon.

At least 2 on offense

and one by letting Count stay in too long.

Boo man boo

The SSS motto should be the answer to "What is our deepest fear?". Or maybe just Prozac.

i'm irate. we need to win every single game. anything less than 98-0 the rest of the way and i'm done as a sox fan because they'll obviously have given up. fire ozzie, get cox' head out of his ass, and burn walker at the stake. oh, bench thome and DFA swi

all right. i’ve saved everyone the effort. just reply with “agree” and we can all go to bed.

it's time to accept that we're powerless when it comes to the white sox and turn ourselves over to a higher power: KW

Buzzkill

Stole the thunder of the guys who love it, or “knew it”, when we lose.

You suck.

we also need speed in the lineup

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Railcats have the same program

I believe they supply the home owners with season tickets as a payment too. I read about that a couple years ago. It always amazes me how little these guys get payed. Thats true love of the game.

most minor league teams have such a program
