This week:
- Dayan Viciedo: .329/.369/.530. Recently named to the International League All-Star Team, I hope his appearance at that game on July 13 is his last act as a minor league player. Because if he isn't called up by the end of the All-Star break (preferably sooner), this team is doing it wrong.
- Some notable promotions this week. Everyone's favorite undrafted free agent, RHP Dan Remenowsky, was promoted to Charlotte. RHP Jacob Petricka returned from his rehab assignment and was promoted to Winston-Salem. SS Yolmer "Carlos" Sanchez is following the path of other recent young White Sox shortstop prospects, like Eduardo Escobar and Sergio Miranda, and spent barely a week in rookie ball before being promoted to Kannapolis. Let's hope he's more like the former.
- Jared Mitchell: .216/.280/.377.
- The White Sox reportedly signed their top pick, OF Keenyn Walker. He will be assigned to Great Falls. He celebrated by going to see Transformers 3. His review: "Transformers is probably the best movie I’ve seen this summer!"
- 6th round pick SS Marcus Semien signed and was assigned to Kannapolis. The remaining unsigned top ten picks are: 2nd rounder RHP Erik Johnson, 3rd rounder RHP Jeffrey Soptic, 8th rounder RHP Ian Gardeck and 10th rounder LHP Ben O'Shea.

Thank you.
I could see him joining the Sox on July 15 in DET, break him in on the road from there to KC and CLE.
Ties in with my guess that he’s (JP) “earned” the home stand.
The rope gets shorter…
Beware the cure isn't worse than the disease
i don't know man.. the media and players are in full juan pierre support mode.
we have to come up with a new plan.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
That plan has always existed...
we just don’t speak of it publicly. It involves a chloroformed rag, a car with a large trunk, a bag of cement mix, some zip ties, the Cheat’s basement, and larry in a dress.

Hindsight, but too bad we didn't pick Mike Trout instead of Mitchell

like 20 other teams are saying that.
i’m sure there’s an 8th rounder out there that everyone will be saying the same thing about, too. welcome to the major league draft.
yep, part of the whole hindsight thing. but I still liked what the scouts said of the kid leading up to the draft.

that's good. kind of a waste of time to look through the draft picks and think about what every single team could have drafted if they knew exactly how the future would turn out.
every single team – even the one that got the “best” player – has numerous picks they “fucked up”.
you know what else other teams are saying? why didn’t we offer viciedo $12 million. and why the fuck didn’t we spend our 50th round pick on remenowsky.
I rather doubt too many GM's are wringing their hands over Viciedo.
As of right now, the sox have overpaid. He may end up being a great signing but the sox have paid a lot of money to find out.
other than the $4MM signing bonus
he’s only cost about $1MM a year. not exactly a lot seeing as guys like pedro alvarez and dutin ackley have similar deals
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
he is essentially a first rounf draft pick
he got paid accordingly. he is not overpaid.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
i must be missing the part where i argued that he was
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
mick?

this little tête à tête was a joy to read

true.
but over half that is coming from the (rent) Dodgers.
its hilarious.
Think what Alvarez, Strasburg or any of them would get for sign on bonuses in an open market. 4 million is peanuts.

you're talking out your ass
If Smoak or any of the top draftees were free agents from the beginning and any team could bid on them what do you think they would have gotten? There are a lot of GMs who wish they would have paid that amount for Viciedo. Its cheap.

hmmm
Completely irrelevant

This guy needs to see more movies….
If you chase two rabbits both will escape!
I don't see how Shia LaBeouf keeps getting work

I'm glad baseball performance is not based on taste in movies.
Otherwise we’d be screwed with Walker.
Anyway, for his sake, I hope it’s the ONLY movie he’s seen this summer.
Scouting report:
Smith has a great arm. He has three above average pitches with good movement. He has durability concerns but he makes up for it with his appreciation of French New Wave cinema and early Coen brothers movies.
