Four-Star Prospects
1. Daniel Hudson, RHP
2. Jared Mitchell, OF
3. Tyler Flowers, C
Three-Star Prospects
4. Jordan Danks, CF
5. Dayan Viciedo, 3B
6. Brent Morel, 3B
7. Clevelan Santeliz, RHP
8. Trayce Thompson, OF
Two-Star Prospects
9. Santos Rodriguez, LHP
10. David Holmberg, LHP
11. C.J. Retherford, 2B

Four More:

12. Jhonny Nunez, RHP: Nunez has a 93-95 mph fastball and a very good slider, both of which should fit in a big-league bullpen, though he falls short of being the late-inning type.
13. Josh Phegley, C: The 2009 draftee is the rare college catcher with power and patience, but there are way too many questions about his defensive prowess.
14. John Ely, RHP: Ely has consistently gotten minor league hitters out, but on a pure scouting level, he has merely average stuff and command.
15. Nathan Jones, RHP: Standing 6-foot-5, he's projectable as all get out and dialed up heat clocked up to 97 mph this year; he'll also be 24 in January while having yet to get out of A-ball.
...
The Sleeper: While the White Sox are rarely big players on the international scene, they might have found something in 18-year-old Venezuelan catcher Miguel Gonzalez, who combines a good bat with power potential and impressive catch-and-throw skills.

What does "Big players on the international scene" mean?

Might as well say 28 teams aren’t big on the international scene.

uh, no. the white sox are one of the extreme minority of teams to spend essentially nothing on latin american free agents.

one could argue that they counter this by signing players like ramirez and viciedo but there’s probably a difference between signing guys close to or in their 20s as opposed to the younger latin players.

they just lucked into that(the Cubans) by having the Count on the staff.

Hopefully this kid leads to more active recruiting down there.

Kevin Goldstein noted Hudson tends to work up in the zone.

His ground-ball percentage was awfully low, but I thought scouts liked his ability to keep the ball down in the zone. I guess not.

by chisox2691 on Nov 17, 2009 12:13 PM CST reply actions  

In the games he pitched for the Sox, I don't remember him working up in zone

It’s possible that I’m just not remembering reality, but in my mind I don’t recall him being up all that much. Wild, yes, and I guess that was out of character too, so who knows.

Guy left blind after poisoning by Bear's fan...

Steelers fan says he was poisoned, left blind in Chicago bar
November 17, 2009 11:54 AM | 38 Comments | UPDATED STORY
A Pittsburgh Steelers fan says he was left blind and is living with brain damage after he was apparently poisoned at a Chicago bar following a game in September.

The Steelers had lost to the Bears at Soldier Field, and some trash-talking was going on between Zack Heddinger’s group of Pittsburgh fans and a group of Bears fans. Afterward, Heddinger, 46, was offered a drink by one of the Chicago fans, a gesture he thought was a peace offering, his older sister Linda Heddinger said this morning in an interview.

It still isn’t clear what substance was in the drink, but doctors believe, based on the effects, that it was grain alcohol, antifreeze or some kind of pesticide, Linda Heddinger said.

What is clear, she said, is that her brother is having memory difficulties and is nearly blind.

“It seems like a bad connection you have with television,” Linda Heddinger said. “He has glimpses, but just because he can see you today doesn’t mean he will see you tomorrow.”

Based on conversations with those with Heddinger, he and his family have “narrowed down” the instances in which he could have been poisoned to the incident at Kitty O’Sheas after they left the Sept. 20 game, his sister said.

Linda Heddinger said the game was part of an annual trip her brother takes with childhood friends to see sporting events in various cities.

there was some guy who worked in a Leeds garage who was poisoned

by a work mate who put anti freexe into his dandelion and burdock, he ended up paralysed. The doctors said that if he had said what he had done they world have had enough time to give him fluids to reverse the damage.

by hoodlight on Nov 17, 2009 12:45 PM CST up reply actions  

Brutal. Reminds me of that show that I used to enjoy, called "Diagnosis Unknown" (iirc).

In this one episode, a guy had all sorts of effed-up symptoms, unrelated, and the origins of which were, true to the show’s name, unknown.
They traced his mysteriously random organ failures to his business partner, who would stop by the guy’s house every morning for years, to have morning coffee with him.
Turned out he had slowly been slipping mercury into his buddy’s coffee over however long, in an attempt to kill him and take over the business.

Seriously, though…I don’t like Greinke like that…nor did I ever like Cobain in that way.

by homesickalien on Nov 17, 2009 1:48 PM CST up reply actions  

Greinke, in voting conducted by the Baseball Writers Association of America, beat out Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez, 19-5, 2.49 ERA, and Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers, 19-9 with a 3.92 ERA. Greinke received 25 of 28 first-place votes and 134 points overall, followed by Hernandez who got two first-place votes and 80 points, Verlander who received the other first-place vote and 14 points, New York Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia with 13 points, Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Roy Halladay with 11 points.

The Royals certainly are grateful they had the foresight to sign Greinke, 26, in January to a four-year, $38 million contract extension. He would have been eligible for free agency after the 2010 season.

Regarding Nunez,

larry, do you have a take on what is meant by “he falls short of being the late-inning type.” Does he have control issues? Is it overall velocity? Does he not look mean enough? Not enough missed bats?

i didn't find his stuff to be that good when i watched him.

i suppose that’s what goldstein is referring to, that closers typically are lights-out guys with exceptional fastballs and a good secondary offering. when you’re twelfth on the white sox prospects list, you’re probably missing some talent.

from the chat...
Kevin (London): Do you think Viciedo will become a productive major league player? An unimpressive slash line combined with poor scouting reports about defense/body type make it seem unlikely at this point, no? Sure, it’s early, but there’s little room for optimism outside of a small second half sample size and good reports about bat speed.

Kevin Goldstein: There’s also a pretty telling track record of Cuban players really struggling in their first year over in Estados Unidos. I still have some faith there, but he has to get into better physical condition.

by larry on Nov 17, 2009 1:47 PM CST reply actions  

Kevin (London): Thanks, KG. Have you heard much about Brent Morel’s defense? He was voted the best defensive 3B in the Carolina League — and the significance of that is debatable — but Buddy Bell has been pretty positive. Could Morel hope to become a left-handed Pedro Feliz if all goes well?

Kevin Goldstein: He’s a solid to plus defender. Make the plays he gets to, and great fundamentals. He’s nowhere near to Feliz defensively. Feliz is among the best of the generation there.

It was done very well and includes the Catch. They sent it around to the season ticket holders (I am only a weekender, so actually thought it was a nice gesture).

They discussed the rumor that started on Soxnet.net and how 1) how soxnet.net is owned by Tribune Corp. 2) the sports editor from the Trib was recently replaced and 3) Per Cowley, how M. Gonzo was persuaded into writing a quick article regarding the rumor and also made to site soxnet.net. I also found it interesting how this rumor is getting so much play in the media and it all basically started from some dude creating a rumor on some BS site.

I just want to know who names their site soxnet.net?

For those of you that are wondering, soxcom.com is not available, so there may be further redundancy on the horizon.

I'm partial to Soxde.de

The Sox site for the Bavarian Sox fan.

did they ever give porn its own suffix?

www.sox.sex has a nice ring to it. or
www.white.sex

although I suppose you would have to feature some chicks in thigh high stockings and white people doing it, respectively.

B&B or Mully and Hanley?

Also, do you have a rough estimate of the time? I’d be interested in hearing it.

B&B and it was around 4:30pm - 5pm

Terry doesn’t bring much insight to the conversation, but you can tell that Dan visits blogs regularly.

Looks like the Trib was trying to create some news.

It’s pretty common for bloggers to go with a story like that but it wasn’t being reported anywhere else. When the Trib and Gonzalez did their piece on the rumor, It did lend a little credibility. Even though he pointed out the problems of this kind of trade, he didn’t dismiss it. If Mark really wanted to shoot it down, he could have called someone from the sox front office to get a denial.
