This Month in White Sox Minor League Baseball
This month:
- The pitchers who pitch in the various Winter Leagues are almost always relievers looking to get in a little extra work (and make a little extra money), usually for their hometown teams. There isn't really a great deal to be learned from their numbers, considering the extremely small sample sizes and generally low level of competition, but it provides an opportunity to take a look at some of the guys who will be competing for the last couple of bullpen spots, including the most recent addition to the White Sox.
- RHP Gregory Infante, who Baseball America recently rated as the 6th best prospect in the organization, is playing for Tiburones de La Guaira in Venezuela. He's appeared in 7 games, throwing 6 innings. He's had a bit of trouble with control, as he's walked 9, against 4 strikeouts, and has also hit 2 batters and thrown a wild pitch. Lack of control of his mid-90s fastball is often his problem, and we can safely assume that's the issue here, but he certainly has the stuff to be a set-up man.
- RHP Jhonny Nunez, who appeared for the White Sox in 2009, is with Tigres del Licey in the Dominican Republic. 2010 was a bit of a lost season for him, as he was sent to Birmingham to build up his innings and work on his changeup as a starter, and then moved up to Charlotte where he was inconsistent as a reliever and didn't merit a September call-up, though his peripherals were better than his results. He's experiencing a bounce back winter campaign, appearing in 11 games for 11 innings and has struck out 14 while walking only 2. His raw stuff isn't as good as Infante's - his fastball sits in the low 90s - and his ceiling isn't as high, but his slider and, to a lesser extent, changeup give him more advanced secondary offerings for the time being.

thanks for this
I hear winter ball here and there but nice to get it all summarized in one place as far as sox are concerned.
Is there ever any concerns how these guys in winter ball teams are managed and supervised? In terms of their workload I mean. Does a prospect arrive at a team with his MLB team orders of what workload should look like or is it that the winter teams are run by pros already and they know what’s good etc.
Taking a walk in a donky park listening to the wind of change
there's certainly a concern. that's one of the reasons the arizona fall league came about.
of course, you’ll sometimes see legitimate big leaguers playing, too, like miguel tejada or miguel cabrera. a lot of the guys who are playing winter ball aren’t exactly prospects so a team may have less interest in those players. but legitimate players and prospects are closely monitored. as you mention, there will be instructions for how a pitcher should be used. teams will also have their scouts watching games. sometimes coaches or other personnel also work for big league teams. these foreign teams know that if a player gets hurt, and it could even arguably be the fault of the team, they won’t be seen as a good destination for players in the future. so they have an incentive, too, to make sure there are no issues.
does anyone else have a timer counting down to who knows what at the top of their page?

You're only a pussy if you don't smelt your own copper.
If you make the drink listed above but you smelt your own copper you could probably beat the shit out of eleven or so jack on the rocks drinkers.
Hell yeah. I bet whomever wrote these instructions for smelting copper was a super badass
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions1. Buy a mining pick. You can purchase a mining pick from general goods vendors or from an auction house, or you can trade for one with another player.
2. Speak with a mining trainer to become a miner. Trainers are found in major cities and in some towns. To find a mining trainer, right-click on a guard in a city and they will direct you to a trainer.
3. Find a copper vein to mine. Copper veins are very abundant and are often found outside of newbie zones.
4. Approach the copper vein and right-click on it to begin mining. Your character will take out his pick and start mining. The copper veins will yield copper ore and rough stones.
5. Right-click on the mined copper ore to take it.
6. Go to a forge. You can find a forge wherever there is a blacksmithing trainer or a lot of arms and mail merchants. In towns, forges are usually at blacksmith mills.
7. Approach the forge and open your smelting box. The smelting box is in your spell book.
8. Click on the “Smelt Copper” option and then click either “Create” or “Create All.” The “Create” option will smelt the number of copper bars you specify, while the “Create All” option will smelt all of your copper ore into copper bars.

disappointed that he didn’t develop enough to come back in 2010. I remember watching him in the bullpen in 09 and thinking how much “easier” (if that makes sense) he is throwing fastballs than someone like Torres. Good to hear that at least for now things are looking better for him.

doesn’t have to be outstanding service. just good.
outstanding service will get a bigger tip, as usual.
Not here
A large part of the population is largely ignorant when it comes to tipping. 7 dollars on a 70 dollar check isn’t going to cut it I’m afraid.
If you’re going to go out and run up a bill that high, either be prepared to tip accordingly, or go to Kenny’s Ribs and Chicken.

It amazed me the tipping etiquette some folks in Central IL had, just through sheer ignorance. Then I learned better, and figured out the ones who wouldn’t tip, but wouldn’t be able to add a bill properly. It worked out in the end.

The issue I have with this is, if customers KNOW that part of their bill is accounting for the tip
Say… 15% (which is the lowest standard of tip I will give) then these customers don’t usually tip more. Even for excellent service, to which they will say (oh, they worked for that tip that I already gave ’em)
I worked at a country club for two years where every check was an auto-15% added gratuity. The other servers and I almost never got an additional tip. Maybe $4-5 a week.
Most waiters where I’ve managed and worked make about $12-20/hr. The issue is their shifts are short, maybe 3-4 hours. You often can’t be just a waiter. You have to work multiple jobs.
Now, the reason why waiters are able to work that job and support themselves is because of the tips. If they were all making $7.50/hr they’d be taking a huge paycut.

The shitty thing is that if we did away with the alternative minimum wage for tip based service
the wages would (for most places) drop down to minimum or just above minimum wage. Right now, someone can actually make a pretty decent living waiting tables in the city if they are working anywhere other than the crappiest of places. Eliminating the tip/wage minimum system would really screw with the whole thing. Profit margins at most places are razor thin to start with… having them have to pay full minimum for all their employees would kill SO many restaurants.

Raise the prices. I just don’t like the tipping process itself. The amount I’m spending isn’t the concern. (because I don’t buy very expensive meals usually, not suggesting money isn’t a factor).
I’m fine with spending the same total amount. I’d just much rather do away with the entire tipping system.
by Grinder in Training on Nov 29, 2010 9:15 AM CST up reply actions
I'm not sure I buy this argument
I do tire of the “paying workers more will kill business” argument, as nobody ever considers the “taking too much profit strangles business” argument … strange.
The inference is that people wouldn’t pay $25 for a $20 dollar plate if the servers were paid accordingly. When I go out to eat, it’s the $11 to $25 jump for a meal that I notice, not the $25 to $30 jump. If I go out for a steak, I’m chastised for raising my eyebrows at the price of a steak at Morton’s, for instance, but the $35, or $50, (I don’t remember) doesn’t make me leave. I’m eating out.
If being able to play God with whether the server gets paid or not, depending on how much ass he/she kisses – is what draws people out to eat, I’m not sure it’s a system I care about defending or saving.
If a meal costs $20 and a $5 tip in top of that, I don’t see the difference, to the customer, of paying 20, and feeling like they’re giving $5 to charity, and just paying $25 for a meal. The difference comes from our perception that if somebody works harder, has a better personality, etc, they will make more money than the surly sloth.
I tip the surly sloth the same $5 on that $20 meal. I think I’ve stiffed 2 or 3 people in my 30 years of eating out, and that was for abusive service, not neglecting my water glass.

Here's part of the problem.
The waiter is taking on the labor cost gamble from the restaurant owner. If it’s a slow night, he can take his $35 and fuck off. If it’s busy, nobody’s counting his $250 in tips he made in 5 hours of crazed work.
One major problem with our capitalist system is that so much of it’s success is predicated on lots of people making bad choices. The upstart restaurant is successful because the owner gets waiters to take on the risk of labor costs. Businesses control their unemployment costs by cajoling and harrassing people into quitting, instead of just paying anyone who’s “unemployed” for whatever reason, like California now does.
The stock market, banks and home mortages are stacked where the consumer has to do a shitload of research that the normal person wouldn’t do, or else they lose their money, or sit on a nominal return on their money.

This cracked me up today at the grocery store
now I read it is for charity, so at least it’s for a good cause, but I saw about 20 cases of the stuff and had to crack up, especially the label.

"Jenks, who was never afraid to say "no" to a hamburger..."
he was at Walt's grocery store last month signing autographs and peddling the stuff.
the only thing that is relevant is SSS.
That's pretty funny. I also never like to read that my wine is "chewy"

Oz on Swish HR celeb: "That's the way he is. Good for him, enjoy it. I wish he could do it for me, he was a very horseshit player for me.''
What could he possibly be waiting for? The revolutionaires to come storming into his basement?

why do you have such a boner for this?
When I was a kid, I didn't want to be a doctor or a fireman. I wanted to be Super Mario. It's the most literal pipe dream I've ever had.
Cheat is a male, that'd be my first guess.

I can imagine a back covered with lashings.

This whole season is lame. Someone needs to paralyze Vick and Roethlisberger so I don't have to hear about their stupid fucking personal lives.

to continue from a past thread
we are trying to come up with 5 african american 3rd basemen…. that played third the majority of their games…. ex… not chone figgins who has played more games at other positions (when you combine them) than 3rd base.
We have 4. Charlie Hayes, Terry Pendleton, Bill Madlock and Chris Brown.
I have ruled out Tony Phillips, Gary Sheffield, Bobby Bonilla and Figgins.
Remember they have to be african american so melvin mora and adrian beltre do not count.
