I would absolutely LOVE to have Rosy back. Always liked him and I do think he’d be good and hopefully end his injury problems.

That story on Nunez/Oviedo am surprised you put on here Mark. That entire saga is enough to puke. Baseball is to blame? This sounds like some agenda currently going on already on a grand scale that is being kicked to the curb by wiser minds.

Yea, its really weird. Did he say there are 30 other players that he knows of with false identitys? This is like the Mitchell report 2.0 but with fake names. Lol

Too bad the Sox don’t really have prospects with a future significant impact.

See everybody gets down on the white sox minor league program and yet every year it seems we are pulling up some quality major leaguers. In just the last few years look at Beckham, Sale, Santos, Morel, Hudson, Richard. Granted none of these guys are superstars but they are all quality big leaguers. I think we have a few guys in the minors that will play an impact next year like De Aza and Reed.

sale was not a product of their system; he was drafted MLB-ready. beckham is a massive underachiever. santos has done well. morel is good but hasn’t done anything to be called a ‘quality big leaguer’
it’s not like the system is completely barren or unproductive, but people are right to call it a weakpoint of the organization

Beckham and Sale are not really products of the Sox farm system. They were with the big club within a year of being drafted. University of Georgia and Florida Atlantic developed those players. Beckham was better the day he arrived than he is now. That does not say much for the farm system and the player development of the Sox.

I agree most people dont think they have a farm system and I think its because they dont have the sexier names like Trout, Harper or Montero but they have quality players. Hopefully Kenny ” I only draft athletic football players that have a basic understanding/talent of baseball” Williams will be gone before too long.

I would love to bring back DRo. I’ve been wishing we would get him back the past few seasons.

The Brewers and the Cards in the NL and the Tigers and the Rangers in the AL play-offs. another reason Baseball needs a salary cap! I mean year after year these high payroll teams win everythi…. Oh wait…What…? they’re what…? Oh… never mind!

Tigers have a payroll over 100 million. Not in the Yankees/Phillies/Red Sox class yet, but that is still large.

I get the sarcasm and all, but the teams left rank like this in terms of total payroll this year:
Cards: 11th ($109M)
Tigers: 12th ($107M)
Rangers: 14th ($92.1M)
Brewers: 17th ($83.6M)
So it is still mostly the top half of the spenders represented. And while the D’Backs were 23rd and the Rays were 28th, that is sorta balanced out by the facts that the Yanks and Phils were 1st and 2nd. If it were the Padres and Pirates and the Rays and the Royals I would join the party, but the big spenders still go to the playoffs more often than the money ball teams.

Twins need to stop being pussies and spend money.
