With Korey Lee clearing waivers so quickly, I'm guessing Curtis Mead is getting claims.

Did some entity just upgrade their database to be able to search for "first of all time"?

The "screw the old guys, play the kids" and "why is this young nobody starting" guys all seem to be the same people.

It seems like he's got strikeout stuff, just that his walk game is pretty dominant. I'm guessing they know he should just start his windup two inches over on the rubber, and he'll be golden.

That Luis Robert money keeps on giving. Hudson was waived when Hays was signed.

Well, the Brewers finally won their World Series. Softens the blow of being the Dodgers' chew toy.

Dead arm period.

JFC, finally, a 1-2-3 inning. I can die happy, now.

They won opening day last year.

It would be cool for Kay to be bringing 95, then bring back some dudes in July if they're struggling to just drown close to shore. People are saying this rotation is worse than last year's - it's the same guys! Can't Kay and Fedde be better than Cannon and Bryce Wilson? (Martin Perez only threw about 5 starts.) While Shane Smith could be looking at an adjustment year, I think Davis Martin is primed to settle in and become the guy he's going to be this season.

If Fedde is noticeably cooked 3-4 starts in, I guess Cannon is first man up? Newcomb? Davitt's on the 40-man. Sandlin's still got that weak back, and I'd think they'd want McDougal to do a few cycles in AAA before he's throwing up here.

Unless the strip mall was an H&R block, Nails Emporium, Tire store and Tigers Den Strip Club.

That's the thing that hits me. Smith could wind up quite unremarkable.

Jeez, it was at a strip mall, for heaven's sake. How's a guy supposed to resist that?

At 38, I'd get light-headed standing up too fast.

Beefloaf has his own thoughts on the lineup: 1 - Grindy ballplayer that told @HotDogLarry1 to pound sand on his #108Tourney endorsement request. Damn sure ain't worried about Sam, whateverthefuckhisnameis taking his position. 2 - Could realistically log significant minutes off the @chicagobulls bench down the stretch, but it would decrease their chances of moving up in the lottery 3 - The "Daddy" of this offense 4 - You wanted him gone, but now you realize you are going to need this man to hit, hit and HIT some mo' if you want to cash your RSW bet on the over for this team. 5 - Thank Christ they are playing him in Left Field 6 - Current and Future Legend. Can you pronounce his name properly? 7 - The most intriguing player on the 26 man roster, if he becomes a "Thing" or a "Dude" or even a "Masher", this is found money for a rebuild that needs a couple tree of them. 8 - Untradeable (for now) 9 - @RyanMcGuffey favorite player, but only by proxy because of who he was traded for....

To Suareo's points: 1) Meidroth has more pressure because he's the lowest ceiling. Colson or Vargas would have to crater for Ant-man to push either of them out of the lineup. This is Vargas and Sosa's last year of pre-arb, so they're on their own kind of hot seat. 2) Kay looked the best out of the starting 5 in ST. I suppose the Sox will struggle to stay 10 games under .500, and Kay will be gone in July. I hope Fedde makes it out of April. 3) If Hicks clicks back, the bullpen could be special. 4) Ant-man. I think Pereira and Acuña will get a lot of leash the first half. If Ant is raking by May, do they trade Hays early? Is any amount under two full years enough relief to cut a slow-starting Benintendi? And if Pereira, Acuña and Baldwin are all producing, that puts Ant back in the IF. 5) A lot of blogger/Twitter dudes seem to keep winding up around 73-75 wins.

Sox on 35th guy has a bunch of takes and predictions

wrong thread

I have. Put the pages back up.

From the guy who claimed across threads, for pages at a time, that I once said that the White Sox have too many pitchers in their system and have to get rid of them. Or that I was the person who claimed that the White Sox couldn't cut Benintendi because they'd have to pay a replacement. It seems your entire roll here is to make up BS to troll people you deem too positive. I suppose I have pages of you calling me a gas lighting, goal-posts mover to look forward to, today. Happy Opening Day.

It was. You agreed with it.
