I'll be PIIIIIIIIISSED if Humber loses his spot in the rotation.

He's been very good.

I watched a few minutes of a (guessing it was recent) Skynyrd concert on some HD channel the other day.   They were playing "That Smell", which rocks.    But it was more fun trying to figure out which guys were original members and which were fill ins.

Adam Dunn, Chicago White Sox (ADP: 31, Player Rater: 290): Like Uggla, Dunn is 31 years old, with many of the same problems. Stark also addressed the Dunn topic, as did Eric Karabell on Monday; I generally agree with Eric on the "you've got one more week" approach with Dunn, but I bet we'd both admit it might be our tendency to preach patience talking.

  • EnlargeAdam Dunn

Tom Szczerbowski/US PresswireThe move to the American League has been anything but good for Adam Dunn.

Dunn, again like Uggla, has had fastball issues in 2011; he's a .165/.310/.243 hitter against them this season, after .309/.399/.652 in 2009-10 combined. There's a key difference between the two, however: Dunn isn't improving in that department with time, and as a result, he's actually seeing an increased rate of fastballs in recent weeks. Through April, 54.4 percent of the pitches he saw were fastballs, 6.9 percent sinkers; since May 1, those numbers have risen to 59.3 and 9.5. Dunn is also a .197/.351/.311 hitter against fastballs since May 1, only marginally improved upon his .174/.309/.261 rates before that date. And surely you've heard all about his miserable performance against lefties, 1-for-42 (.024 avg.) so far. Clearly he's not adjusting, and American League pitchers are challenging him more as a result.

Nevertheless, just like Uggla, Dunn's problems are unlikely a decline in skills, and in his case, he actually has a wider array of explanations for them: the league change, the adaptation to designated hitter -- though his .296/.449/.648 rates in 16 career games as a National League DH during interleague play suggest otherwise -- and his hasty return after an April 5 emergency appendectomy. Those make me slightly more confident in Dunn's ability to bounce back than Uggla's, but at the same time, there aren't any hints that such a bounce-back is imminent.

The Roger Bossard bobblehead doll promotion for Sunday June 12th is postponed because of a manufacturing issue and rescheduled for Sept. 13. The first 20,000 fans with tickets to Sunday's game will receive vouchers good for a bobblehead doll that they can collect at U.S. Cellular Field after Sept. 13.

Quentin should be moved to DH to replace Done.

Huzzah to that notion. Brenly does seem to know his stuff. Shoeless would not like this idea, I divine.

"Maybe they are showcasing him for a trade" -- a reach of an explanation as to why Juan Phucktard is still on the team, that made me laugh

Okay, I guess there is an excuse for not yet promoting Viciedo: Scott Boras.

I'm almost tempted to celebrate that the Sox are now "only" two games below .500.

They need to beat up on the Nationals before going to Colorado.

Washington is not so beat-up-able this year, 9-1 over their last 10. It would be nice if they could take the first one, which they failed to do vs. Cubbies and Snakes.

What about the Nats' possible loss of focus, after the Riggleman exit?

I just have ZERO confidence in the offense. Which is a shame, because I have a pretty good feeling about the pitching at this point.

If Dunn and even just one of Beckham or Rios starts hitting it will be like making 2 trades and will really ignite this team. We are hanging around the division leaders with our team playing as poorly as it can....it we can just get a couple guys going we can be right there at the end.

Whatever happened to the offense that scored 14 runs on Opening Day and was lighting it on fire the first week of the season? Can you imagine if that was our standard offense?

Once the bats come around, the bullpen will start sucking again.  The two connot coexist in the same space-time.

I know he's a crap-stirrer, but I kind of like Cowley:

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/6267089-419/ken-williams-should-use-power-to-fix-white-sox-not-deflect-blame.html

I think Cowley is on the money.  Williams is the one who is responsible for the makeup of this team, and this team is lacking talent in key places.  Sure, Ozzie has made his blunders, but that is bound to happen once in awhile.  Williams is the man who puts the talent, or lack thereof, in the clubhouse.
