This is shaping up to be a great weekby Ricky O'Donnell on June 25 at 12:35PM
So, we have three posts here today. My take on the draft and Phil's take on Beasley is below, and here's my ode to Juan Uribe. I have posts up at The Fantasy Factor and TTCS as well. Oh and while we're here, check out a new blog from one time TUP contributor Kyle Koster. Imagine this scenario: the Bulls select Derrick Rose to be the new face of the franchise, the White Sox take two of three from the Cubbies at home, and, to top it all off, the Sox cut Juan Uribe. We're not so sure on the first two things, but the last one is imminent. It all happens when Paul Konerko comes off the DL.
I always become slightly disappointed when a World Series hero leaves. That year was so great, and all of those guys are equally responsible for bringing home the title. Uribe was money during the 05 playoffs (making that great catch in the stands and recording the final put out), and is a pretty good defensive shortstop. But it's impossible to overstate how bad he is offensively. The last two seasons he's posted OBP of .257 and .284. I don't care how good anyone is defensively (and he just has a strong arm, his range isn't that great, probably because he's shaped like a Dominican oompa loompa) , they can't be getting on-base as often as a pitcher in the NL does. First Mike North (another good move), now Uribe. I feel like the Bears should have just waited to cut Cedric Benson until now. It would be fitting.

If they cut Uribe who's going to retain the nickname "The Tripod" in the club house. Certainly not Brian Anderson from what I hear/fantasize about.
Thanks for the linkage. Now if only that opened up to my page. Some day the technology will catch up.
Fixed.

An off subject interesting bit of information...The White Sox's number one pick, Beckham, is one of the best polo players in the south-east (not water polo, the one with horses). Thought that was kind of funny/weird.
That IS weird/funny. Who plays polo?
Fresno State, yo.
Doesn't Christopher Reeves still play polo?
Wheel Chair Polo? Wait he's dead...do they have horses in hell?
I'm pretty sure Eight Bells is in Hell.
