BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2010-08-17 14:45:00	How would you approach the White Sox closer situation, both in the short term and 2011? Seems like there are some pretty useful assets, this weekend's implosion notwithstanding. (ChuckR from Addison, IL)	Matt Thornton. Hands down. No questions. No ifs, ands or butts. (Eric Seidman)
2010-06-07 18:30:00	Kevin, was this a signability pick? Should we expect the Cubbies to take a guy with big money demands in the 2nd or 3rd ala Samardzija? (J.P. from Chicago)	I don't know what it was. Just totally dying here on that one. Biggest first round shocker since Matt Thornton? Wow, as if the Rays needed a break here, they get the best high school hitter in the draft at 17. Teams with previous picks with regret this one. (Kevin Goldstein)

2010-07-13 16:30:00	All-Star Game	You know how everyone snorted and chuckled last month when the Cubs took Hayden Simpson and the Yankees took Cito Culver? Well, in 1998, Matt Thornton was THAT guy. The 22nd pick in the draft out of tiny Grand Valley State in Michigan, NOBODY had him in the 1st-round mix that year, and here we are an he's an All-Star. That's why you can't get too worked up the day of. Man, I was too serious there for a second. (Kevin Goldstein)
2010-07-13 16:30:00	All-Star Game	Matt Thornton is warming and I'm officially giddy to be watching this. (Tommy Bennett)
