A second thought re Shaffer:
Maybe, just maybe, there's some disagreement in the ranks as to what "major league ready" means as it relates to possible deals. Perhaps Kenny knows the importance of getting this 'right' and doesn't trust Shaffer not to be 'wrong'.
Anybody else have a take?
seems to me...
It also seems to me that the Sox could be re-tooling their whole amateur scouting crew too.
could be they have a replacement in mind?
What's Al Goldis doing these days? Say what you will about Goldis, his first-round picks (McDowell, Ventura, Thomas, & Fernandez) did not lack for potential. It's true Shaffer had a lower draft position when he took over, but the quality of Sox 1st-rounders wasn't great even in the post-94 decline.
His Grindiness!
Unfortunately... the Scrubs get Ramirez back.
I've got a 12 pack riding on this series against my Cub friend.

by omnipotent grab on Jun 22, 2007 2:57 PM CDT up reply actions
I just realized
Don't worry Cheat, Kenny is definitely dealing...
Did anyone hear Kenny's interview from earlier today on Comcast SportsNet? Kenny basically said that he would like to keep the core White Sox players (i.e. Buehrle) but he said that he will listen to offers and move these core players if the right package comes around. Kenny is holding out for the highest bidder.
I think Buehrle, Dye, Iguchi, and possibly even Contreras are all gone at the deadline.
"Belton" Bill Melton is such a homer...
However, he does think that Dye will be traded and that he will bring a lot of talent back.
Melton is 50/50 on whether Iguchi and Uribe...
Uribe = He Gone!!

Is he a Gem?
His U.Of San Fransisco bio says he's a "Good defensive outfielder...great power...hits for high average...he will be a leader on this team". Could he have been the reason the sox traded Aaron Cunningham? Anyway Maurice is raking right now 10 Hr's in 197 AB's while hitting .310
He's 23 and in low-A ball

A new manager isn't going to do anything.
The only solution is to blow up the team and start from scratch.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Jun 22, 2007 5:47 PM CDT up reply actions
Girardi
If Ozzie walks, Girardi should be hired.
He's a great manager for young players. That's what the Sox should be next year - young.
Ozzie is not the best at developing young talent.

I think...
Since I'd like the Sox to emulate the Marlins a little bit, I don't see that Girardi would be a good fit.
I think Girardi got too much credit for what success the Marlins had last year. They were a better team than most people thought they were.

by omnipotent grab on Jun 22, 2007 6:03 PM CDT up reply actions
Brian Anderson
Sweeney should be playing in LF right now. I want to make the determination of his skills now instead of the middle of 2008.
Explain what you mean by "has no heart."
Great fielder.
Hit reasonably in 2nd half last year.
1st man out to defend AJ.
Then he got into a pissing contest with Ozzie & Williams and lost. And they ground him to a pulp.
He's no Aaron Rowand, but it's not true that "has no heart."
The guy isn't even hitting at AAA right now...
Re the Sox uniform,
Another thing
He and Jerry Owens are a match made in heaven. They deserve each other.
I was but it was my 1st and last.
I'd be interested in your recap of Anderson there.
I tried to find the audio of him but couldn't
I remember Darrin Erstad had just signed right before Soxfest and looking at Brian he just didn't seem to care. Again the sense of urgency was not there.
Impression is everything and he didn't leave a good one with me.
Brian Anderson has no heart
He's organizational dead -weight as it stands now. It's up to him to prove the naysayer otherwise
He hit very decently
IMO, by the way he was treated at the end of last year, spring training and early this season, I think you're kidding yourself if you think "the sox would have gladly recalled him."
The one Anderson negative is that he balked playing in ??? Mexico after last season.
He was hovering around .300
by omnipotent grab on Jun 23, 2007 12:16 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't know
The tipping point for me came this past week when Kenny and Paulie where slightly optimistic while Ozzie was saying the opposite.
Another example of his bitch mode antics is starting player that don't deserve to be on the field. WHY IS HE STARTING CINTRON TO BENCH A REGULAR. All the regular need to start as much as they can so the can build some sort of rapport.
Why did he pinch hit Cintron for Terrero? If we saw it then the GM and the players saw it too. It made no sense.
Media blackout
Ozzie has yet to talk to the media 45 minutes after the end of the game. He usually is done 15-20 minutes after the game.
Ozzie's talking now
recap
- Zambrano is a good pitcher. Been pitcher better lately. we knew it was going to be a tough game.
- On using a different releiver in the 9th: "What else am I supposed to do?"
- Erstad having an MRI. Asked himself out of the game after a half inning. No word on whether he'll be given the Barbaro treatment and be sent to the glue factory.
- Talking about the Sox having no deserving All-Stars
- Ozzie seemed unaware the Buehrle left early. Joked that "he didn't care about Buehrle"...
1. Like the Barbaro comment.
What's the closest precident(s)
Send in the Kids
Time to bring in the kids.
Erstad returns, makes a great catch, but only lasts 1/2 an inning before re-injuring the ankle.
Starting OF for this team should probsbly be Sweeney, Anderson, and Terrero-- tomorrow.
As for Pods... no matter, it's too late.
Can KW rebuild the positional players before this starting pitching staff is too old to compete?
KW has his hands full now.
by NSSF on Jun 22, 2007 6:25 PM CDT reply actions
Kenny are you listening
I would make this trade in a second...
I wish KW would fire himself
Enough of signing these people on the downside of their careers, too. That, and his hard-on for Vasquez. And if he trades MB because he's over 30? Isn't resigning him an option, too? Where are the wins going to come from? Why not trade all 25 for a minor league team of prospects?
KW claims he has a vision and is sick of explaining it. I don't think he understands it himself.
Seem very viable to me
I'm writing the proposition and emailing it to Phil Rodgers. He may put it in one of his column, who knows
if it's any consolation...
it's not much of a consolation, however.
