QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 03:03 AM) I don't doubt we will kick the tires when he becomes a FA in a way, i am thinking the same. right now this team is or will be loaded. too bad MB can't find a slot here. a fitting end to when he hangs it up.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 01:26 AM) I don't think it's being bias. I find it really shocking to look at all the pitchers that have been competing since the start of ST on to tell them the new guy who's been here less than a week beat you out for a spot. Especially a guy who, other than being a top prospect ages ago, doesn't have the track record to go along with it. I'm hoping they see something in Drabek that can finally make him turn the corner. i did not even look at it from that point of view. nice point.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 03:40 AM) I'm going to wait til Tyler sucks during the regular season before we cry to replace him. From all indications the pitchers like throwing to him. If he hits 240 with power he will be fine. got a good point, i will answer for me, in my hope of finding a better catcher who can hit, i missed the other things like defense and calling of a game, which i am assuming that is the reason why the pitchers like him as a catcher. i will keep it like that unless i see it otherwise. nice post.

3-31 fl st - won - DJ Stewart - of. batting #3, 2 ab, 0 run, 1 hit, 2 rbi, 1 bb, 0 k's cincy - lost - Ian Happ - cf. batting #3, 4 ab, 0 run, 2 hit, 2 rbi, 0 bb, 2 k's lsu - won - Alex Bregman - ss. batting #3, 3 ab, 2 run, 3 hit, 4 rbi, 0 bb, 0 k's --- 1 hr vandy - won - Dansby Swanson - ss. batting #3, 4 ab, 1 run, 3 hit, 1 rbi, 0 bb, 0 k's vandy - won - Rhett Wiseman - rf. batting #2, 3 ab, 2 run, 1 hit, 0 rbi, 1 bb, 2 k's i never finished and was sidetrack in the morning.

i wonder if Daniel Norris - P - Blue Jays make the team, will he rent a place or continue living outta his Van.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 10:55 PM) I think Micah has been impressive but Sanchez may be more solid right now and has a better glove i like you was really surprise on MJ, but how Sanchez handle himself, and it did it the old fashion way.... by producing when it counted.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 11:49 PM) I am pretty sure it is a for gone conclusion he will be in AAA until we get the extra year of him. Unless Danks/Noesi get hurt before the season starts yeah i agree, but i am not hearing his agent squawk. but i should have wrote it better. going into spring training, will the sox give a free pass to Rodon. also was he or is he good enuf to really start now. my whole thing this spring is the pitchers. saving them or getting them ready for those extra innings in the playoff. this team has the plow horses to pull this team, but it needs the thoroughbreds to bring home the victory.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 11:41 PM) So the one competition we all care about is basically what we are waiting for, and the last bullpen spot for me, it was, is Rodon good enuf to start in the majors or be a call up.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 11:39 PM) They are, just didn't want Emilio being the only back up OF on the bench and in a hard situation, the sox have Thompson a phone call away.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 11:06 PM) I agree. The bench is way better than it was last year, at least on paper. paper?? no paper, it is for real!!! Hahn has done a freaking great job.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 11:33 PM) Anyone else see Soto replacing Flowers as everyday catcher by late May? i really hate to say this, but i thought the idea was to see if Soto had anything left, to replace him now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) I hope it takes longer because that means Danks is actually performing. nice..... excellent logic. i like it .

Dang it. i guess i will never pass a geography test. many thanks.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 09:51 PM) Shuck is already a better base runner than De Aza. let me also add, a smarter one as well.

you know, with Robin as a manager, and being a great 3b, i am surprise he hasn't said how much he would like to put the glove on or help in coaching the 3b.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) Buehrle, too. really, who was his catcher.

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 07:23 PM) I ask to learn. I agree I see things as a 50+ year old white guy. i hope i wasn't being harsh.... i am an old fart, 1 mexican breakfast from dieing.... what a way to go.... eating great food and right in the middle of great sex. life is so simple. ignorance is not bliss. as long as people want or has a need to learn, it is there. look to your older uncles, aunts and you will learn bundles of things.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) Montreal isn't anywhere near Detroit. dang it, which city is ne of Det in CA....

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 08:42 PM) Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 2m2 minutes ago White Sox only have one 40-man spot avail. Would need 3 for Soto, Micah Johnson and a reliever like Albers or Carroll. i would most definitely keep Carroll.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Forgot about Cleto. I'd rather DFA Cleto and Brantly and give Surkamp another chance in the minors (or is he out of options?) i am all for keeping Surkamp. i am a fans of his. same as Cleto..... that what burns me with Drabek. i do not see an upgrade. then maybe i am being bias.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) When they had Charlie Hough? yeah, i think you are right, he was a knuckleballer. nice memory. didn't tom seaver also had a person catcher as well?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 12m12 minutes ago Final 25 will be announced Thursday, last day of camp. #whitesox freaking hell..... that mean i have to continue to read 2 days of updates from you. just kidding.

did anyone know the Allard - hs pitcher is hurt

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) With all the secrecy around some guys, I wonder what deals the team is trying to make before the roster moves all come down. oooo conspiracy ...... i like it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) Glad we are going to have a true back up OF instead of relying on Emilio for me, Emilio and Shuck are 2 very good backups, imo.
