QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 10:58 PM) Where is our 3rd Basemen Josh Fields, he wasn't on B'Ham's roster, so he should be on this one. They probably mixed 'em up. I think the Joshua Fields is still recovering from off-season surgery. He's probably in extended spring training.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 04:44 PM) Can anybody keep me from reading 45 pages, and tell me if there is a reason why Pods & Iguchi did not play today? You're going to have to ask Pods for the answer to that one. I, for one, wouldn't mind him getting on base once in a while.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 03:38 PM) The CSN gun clocked Jenks's highs at somewhere in the 92-93 range, think I saw 1 95 on the screen. I thought Hawk & DJ said something different though. The gun was definitely slow today... Aside from Garcia, Logan was reading in the mid 80's after throwing 90 and above in ST. Cotts never topped 88 despite throwing 91 during ST Jenks first pitch registered 89, but Hawk and DJ said it was 95. The gun was f***ed. Still I thought Garcia looked bad.

It's a good thing Pods didn't need that many spring training ABs to get into shape. I don't know where we'd be without him.

10 hits and 7 runs through 5... I guess they're just finding the holes. We should get a map and find them too.

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 02:15 PM) Borchard topped 500ft. in 2004

swinging at 58 ft. pitches = bad

QUOTE(Spiff @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 12:55 PM) flyover Pussies. They were way too high.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 01:40 AM) I bet those pilots got some s*** for that, no way they shoulda been that low. A better angle. f*** yeah they were low.

I had suspected as much, especially after he finished the two games in Atlanta. If Tracey has any shot at making the White Sox in the near future, it's going to be in the pen. Maybe we'll get lucky, and he'll add a couple mile an hour to his FB and increase his control with the move. Not likely, but we can hope.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) I believe Thornton hasn't issued a walk in almost 4 innings. I'd be willing to bet he never went that long without walking somebody last year. I, of course, had to try and prove this false... But you appear to be right. Though more than half of those innings are exhibition and don't count. You've gotta start somewhere.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) Its crazy to see how much more high tech we've gotten. MLBAM bought out all of the individual team sites in 2001, and required a $2M commitment from every team.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 2, 2006 -> 12:33 AM) ^^. Will be interesting to see how he does moving from a pitcher's park in B-Ham to a hitters park in Charlotte, and how it affects his power numbers etc. Smaller park means fewer singles and doubles. I'd pay attention to that more than anything. Given his hitting style, if he hits .300+ in Charlotte, he's the ready for the show.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) Actually no I'm not related to him but thanks for the condescending remark. It's clear that you know him, as you even alluded to in another post to Santo Is there some kind of test we can take to prove this? How do you know he has connections? I think if you speak in more absolutes here, some of the criticism of him on this site might die down. I get it, you "know" he has connections. So why do you get so defensive when I call it bunk, yet don't expound on his connections? People who post in absolutes??? hmm... So would that be like saying something like "every minor leaguer sucks." Good luck trying to find anywhere where I've criticised Levine or Offman beyond saying "take this with a grain of salt." The only criticism I have for those two is that they too often are being a mouthpiece for the organization. They are in a tough position where they feel they have to speak the company line in order to keep a healthy workplace environment. I understand they're in a tough spot, but they could both stand to be far more questioning than they are. I can't believe you're even lumping in Rumor Mongerer with those two. He's not travelling with the team. He doesn't have direct contact with Hendry or Williams. The only thing he has direct connection to is his radio and email. He wrote for a fantasy site, and is now writing a series of blogs. I don't see how that's much different than me. The key difference is he is trying to pass himself off as having inside information, while I'm doing no such thing. THIS IS A KEY DIFFERENCE. I relish being an outsider. It affords me the opportunity say things that I would bring me a lot of grief as an "insider." Let's just dissect his some of his White Sox rumors to see where his "baseball knowledge and connections" come into play. Back in December he was pimping a guy named Alex Woodson in the rumored Tejada deal. Woodson, as a 2005 draft pick, would be ineligible to be traded until the end of June 2006, when he signed. PTBNL's have to be named in 6 months, so he wasn't even eligible to be traded as a PTBNL either. That's not even mentioning that Woodson has all of 25 innings pitched in rookie ball. Players like that, with so little minor league experience and no draft pedigree, don't get traded, let alone mentioned in rumors for MVP candidate... But I'm sure he had some good inside info on that one :rolly Here's a link to a timeline on the Bobby Abreu rumors. He was all over that one with his inside info. Only a weeks or months behind me, and I never once claimed to have any insider knowledge. There's no jealousy here. On the internet, and specifically on blogs, there is no reason to be jealous. A rising tide raises all ships. I've linked to him in the past, he's linked to me. I know my field of "expertise" is narrow. But I know the White Sox, and I just don't see a reason why we should trust this guy at all when he has said not one thing about the White Sox prior to any of their deals. (and it's not like there hasn't been a lot of them this off-season) His White Sox source clearly isn't telling him anything useful. In fact, his source might be having fun with him... Go ahead, try to find one thing that he said about the Thome deal, the Vazquez deal, the Marte deal, the Cintron deal, the Garland signing, the Contreras signing, etc., before they happened. So in all of these deals he has said nothing.... But he's posted about Miguel Tejada, Mark Prior, Willy Tavares, and Juan Pierre to the Sox. For someone who has "connections", it's VERY clear, he's got none with the Sox.
