This is good news...
Kevin Youkilis was a late scratch from Sunday’s lineup because of soreness in his left shoulder.
Sean Casey replaced him in the field. J.D. Drew will bat cleanup. Consider Youkilis day-to-day.

Gavin needs to be on point today
Yesterday was just such a huge blow for the Sox, a win today settles the nerves of the team and its suicidal fans.
I was a multiple time all star throughout my little league career. Won 5 championships- 4 in a row- thats more in a row than MJ… (kenwo4life@aol.com)
And in case you guys missed it in the previous thread...
Quoted from SoxTalk.com:
Washburn is on the waiver wire now until 1:30 pm EST tomorrow. Buster Olney on Baseball Tonight just reported from Peter Gammons that the Sox may put a claim in on him.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
That's not exactly hard hitting news
they may not put a claim on him either. I’ll believe it when it happens.

let's hope it happens...
and with byrd in the division….SSH you think that the indians will let him go to the sox if they were to go that route?...
i think it would be pretty sweet if ssh's kid and kenwo's kid had offspring together...whether you believe in nature or nurture, it wouldn’t be boring.-larry
I don't remember the last trade that the Sox made with the Indians...
but I guess if the Royals will trade with the Sox, the Indians will too. Shapiro probably wouldn’t mind dumping the prorated portion of Byrd’s $8 million dollar contract for this season but Byrd has started pitching well lately and everyone needs pitching. I’m sure Shapiro would still want a decent prospect or two for Byrd.

How could you forget about the Jack Parkman trade
by El Duque's Raft on Aug 10, 2008 12:29 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
In any case...
I would say that Washburn is more likely. He is the better pitcher of the two and the Mariners probably want to dump his contract for next year. I doubt Kenny views Byrd as much of an improvement. One could argue that Washburn might actually be an improvement over Contreras, the way he was pitching. But Washburn is probably status quo to Contreras at the very least.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

that's what i was thinking
i’m hoping kenny can get something done

Not me...
Washburn still has decent stuff (not fastball). Byrd gets by on his lame delivery like Ryan Dempster’s glove waggle.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
don't buy into the hype on byrd...
he did change his delivery which has helped him be more effective but he lacks the ability to establish a third pitch on a consistent basis

i can't remember the last time the indians traded within the division.

Was there any word as to who the Yankees were giving up for Washburn?
I can’t remember….

Here it is...
According to New York Newsday, the Yankees and Mariners “continue to talk about what level of prospect the Yankees would give up in return for” Jarrod Washburn.
Washburn started Sunday and pitched brilliantly against the Blue Jays despite previous reports that a trade was on the verge of taking place, but apparently the two sides are still haggling over details. The newspaper reports that the Yankees are willing to take on Washburn’s entire remaining contract, but aren’t willing to do that and send the Mariners a legitimate prospect. Meanwhile, the Mariners are said to be holding out for Melky Cabrera or Brett Gardner.Source: Newsday
The Seattle Post Intelligencer reports that the Rockies were “shocked” when the Mariners asked for both Dexter Fowler and Casey Weathers in exchange for Jarrod Washburn.
No wonder the Yankees backed out of the rumored deal for Washburn. The newspaper also notes that the Mariners asked for “Jon Niese and/or Fernando Martinez or another top prospect” from the Mets, which is even more laughable.

Haha, yes and they will be holding out for quite awhile.
by El Duque's Raft on Aug 10, 2008 12:57 PM CDT up reply actions
By the way...
I remember reading that Jarrod Washburn has a limited no trade clause. He can block a trade to the Yankees. However, he cannot block a trade to the White Sox.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

speaking of the yankees
Ian Kennedy is wearing out his welcome in NY very quickly. With LaRoche already moved, I think Kennedy might be the best undervalued unproven player who gets moved this off-season only to make a big impact next year. Sox need to get in on that entirely hypothetical action.
AIM: SouthSideCheat
Like it
On that same note, I would be extremely interested to know how much of an effort Kenny put in this offseason for Josh Hamilton. He seems like exactly the type of player he goes after. Obviously, the Sox didn’t have a Volquez in their system but an outfield of Q, Dye and Hamilton would be quite salivating.

The Big Media teams tend to give up on players too early thanks to their ridiculous what-have-you-done-for-me-lately attitude.

I probably don't disagree in general
but not pulling a HR back over the fence is hardly an indicator of below average D.
true, but that was a high fly that landed right on the other side of the fence. i'd bet carlos would call that a play he needs to make.

but he did not play that well. you’re supposed to get to where the ball is going to land.

I’m probably not the first one to ask you this, but what’s the ETA on Contreras next year? Supposedly this is career threatening, so I know there is a chance that the answer is “never”, but could you lay out a best case/worst case/weighted mean?

c'mon...there ARE 27 qualified players with worse obp this season, and none are named neifi.
the rub, of course, is that most (if not all) of those guys hit down in the order.

because lineup construction is relatively unimportant

The Sox have Cabrera's .330 OBP and Pierzynski's .320 OBP batting 1-2...

so optimal lineup construction is only worth a few runs over a season.
still doesn’t make much sense to give those runs away when it is clear based on any objective measure that certain guys don’t make much sense in certain spots.
"anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?"
by Toonderstrook on Aug 10, 2008 1:34 PM CDT up reply actions
i agree.
i’ve never understood why people say that lineup construction’s relative unimportance excuses it being done poorly. it’s a simple thing to correct, and in the sox’ case it is a significant change in obp available.
You're on thin fucking ice my pedigree chums, and I shall be under it when it breaks. Now, fuck off.
it might be worth a couple runs
and given the things that are really wrong with this team, i really don’t see the possibility of a few runs over the course of a season being a big difference. i’m not saying it’s not personally annoying, but there’s been so much written about this and no one can find something that says it costs anything substantial. so why not let the guy who’s managing his players figure out where they’re happiest?

More from Will about Jose:
me: so there isn’t much that can be even estimated at this point? and what if we assume he’s 36 as listed?
him: Still impossible to tell until after surgery and if its able to be reattached normally. The question isn’t IF he could come back – there’s a pretty good return rate there—but if he will want to go through a year’s rehab.

Nothing new but...
“New players, new roles”By Mark Gonzales, 1:20 p.m.
As of now, D.J. Carrasco will take Jose Contreras’ spot in the starting rotation for the White Sox. That would put Carrasco in line to pitch Thursday against Kansas City, his former team.
Lance Broadway, recently promoted from Triple-A Charlotte, will serve as a long reliever after pitching mostly as a starter.
Horacio Ramirez, a former starter with Atlanta, will stay in the bullpen in a left-handed specialist role that he succeeded in with Kansas City before joining the Sox in a trade late Saturday night.
Chris Getz, promoted with Broadway from Charlotte, will serve as a utility infielder.
Third baseman Josh Fields, demoted to Charlotte last night, will have to work on his fielding to regain the coaching staff’s confidence.

a guy who has gotten tagged some can still have great stuff, especially on a given day, right?
he had good stuff the first few innings. and there is some history of good stuff, including a no no.

So its the 3rd inning,
He’s giving up well over his average, and you have 50 posts about how the Sox should be mashing him and then how you knew they should be mashing him. Shouldn’t you save something for the bullpen implosion later?

swisher sucks. he's not even going to reach double digits in home runs this season.

He has been disappointing considering what Kenny gave up for him...
but Konerko has been a bigger disappointment, by far.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

i agree with the konerko aspect
but i wouldn’t call swish that much of a disappointment. he’s having a slightly off year and receiving less playing time. he’s gonna be fine. sweeney prolly will never amount to anything and pitchers are hard to predict.

they're the pissant "fans" that show up to every road red sox game

i don't care if they're native new englanders

not many legit ones other than the aforementioned transplant possibility which i deemed to be low

you have two decent teams in MLB, and it’s not as if the BOSOX have been tearing it up for the last 30 yrs or something

yeah, but they also wear cubs hats when they come to the cell

say hypothetically you ended up living in boston and knocked up some poor girl. would you not disown that kid if he or she were anything but a white sox fan?

the pull is pretty impressive
my dad is a huge baseball fan and took us to tiger games at Tiger Stadium (which is probably the coolest ballpark i’ve ever seen a game at) and everything but it still didn’t work. i’m a sox fan and my brother’s a cubs fan.

Tons of traveling Boston fans.
I ran into a gaggle of them at O’Hare last year when the Sox played the BoSox. Obnoxious as hell. But not as bad as the Cub fans I ran into at Petco in June. Course, I was wearing an ‘83 Sox Jersey…
they seriously flew in for a White Sox - Red Sox game?
who has that kind of cash?
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
Lots of people. Yankee fans do it too. And obviously Cub fans,
but San Diego is a vacation town… If I had the cash, I’d love to follow the Sox. As it is, I only sometimes drive to Baltimore from New York. Briefly considered the L.A. series, but then I would have missed Vin’s calls.
San Diego I get
I’ve lived there and I know what kind of population lives there in general. The entire state is out-of-staters
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
lots of people. check out how much red sox tickets cost.
we hung out with a couple of bostonians on friday night at comiskey. they love chicago and they love to see the red sox play. it’s pretty common.
You're on thin fucking ice my pedigree chums, and I shall be under it when it breaks. Now, fuck off.
A Southwest round trip ticket isn't that bad
A guys excursion to Chicago to see a game and eat lots of bad food, and get wasted? Quite common among the young male crowd.

you'd be surprised
they come out of the woodwork. back in 05 at towel day i wound up snapping and telling a 12 year old boston fan god didn’t love him. in my defense, he cheered after manny hit the game winner in the ninth immediately after crede dropped a foul ball that would have ended the inning. the kid also had red hair, freckles, and braces. i had to say it.

nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
Actually there are probably a lot of them.
You gotta understand that Boston has a regional fanbase. Pretty much all of New England PLUS the nationwide bandwagon. And there are lots of Irish Catholics up thataway and they love to have babies, and those babies love to move places and be obnoxious. So there you go.
