Both of those guys have some big time upside. At least neither of them had injuries related to their arm. If they can get back on the track they were (pre-injury) then the system is looking even better. I'm going to have to start saving for another road trip this summer. I gotta see these guys play.

Where did Martinez end up going to college? He's a pretty stinking talented player. In general last year the Sox drafted a whole lot of talented players. I'm really looking forward to this years draft, the only thing that sucks is, we don't get to pick Jared Weaver. Finally saw him pitch this weekend and the guy is filthy. Fullerton did score a whopping 2 runs off of him (It was the most scored upon him all season). Two starts ago he struck out 16 in just 6 innings of work. WOWZERS

No offense to womens basketball, but how the heck can that be watched over opening day baseball. You need to steal the remote pronto

I'm excited to see what Haigwood and Rodriguez do. Maybe the Sox will start the two of them in the pen, so they can build their stamina back and then when they are ready to jump into the rotation, the Sox will adjust their rosters? I'm thinking if they feel they can convert Munoz, then they might as well convert Castro. Speaking of which, where the heck is Orionny Lopez? He's not going to have another short season is he?

Sucker...I just shaved my beard I'm gifted in that area...except for the middle part of my mustache. If I grew a mustache there would be a bald spot in the middle If I ever go to Europe to backpack, then there is no way I'm going to shave. I want to look like a total hippy

Hankins/Burke and Rivera will probably all catch and play 1st. Burke and Hankins will also play some 3rd or at least thats my guess.

Russ was supposed to be one of the best JC pitchers out there. He's pretty raw though. I know the Sox have a lot of work to do with his delivery, so I'm assuming they figure another year is better for him. Nothing wrong with another short season for Nach, considering he's out of high school, plus he was shallacked last year. Those two were probably the two hardest throwing guys the Sox drafted.

I'd think that somehow, pretty quickly, one of those pitchers will be on his way up to Winston Salem. But ya, I really want to get to Kanny to watch that rotation, some really good arms. I'm guessing Tisch will stay in the bullpen (Isn't that what he did last year?). I hope Dizzard starts, I like him to a Zito (Don't ask me why, but I just like him a lot and I'm not saying he'll be as good as Zito) and I hope the Sox dn't mess with Deininger or Castro. I like those guys a lot and I'm all for Castro being in the rotation now.

Still better then Michael Moore

That crazy hippy...man thats awesome. I can so see him working the streets during the offseason

Pedro freaking clocked Segui. This could turn into a bean brawl if he drills another guy inside.

For the major league roster, check out www.whitesoxcentral.com For the minor leauge rosters, check out www.futuresox.com FutureSox has Kanny's, Winston Salems, and Charlottes Roster up. We are still waiting to receive the announcement from the Barons, and then that will be up

Nice, are you working on another movie Cali?

Sweet, I'll merge mine into that one and move it over here. I thought I had seen one, but couldn't find it when I checked before making the post.

according to Gammons, the other prospect is also a top 10 prospect.

Exactly, I see at least another one of the Cubs pitchers going down for a while. I just don't like Baker and I've said it for a while that he will ruin the Cubs young pitchers.

If I missed one, sorry, but the season starts in a few minutes and I realized we don't have our thread. So put down the predictions and after a week we'll lock the thread, bury it in the archives and pull it up at the end of the season to see how everyone did. AL West Angels A's Mariners Rangers Al Central White Sox Twins Indians Royals Tigers Al East Yankees Red Sox - Wild Card Blue Jays Orioles Devil Rays NL West Padres Dodgers Diamondbacks Giants NL Central Astros Cubs Cardinals Brewers Reds Pirates NL East Phillies Marlins - Wild Card Braves Expos Mets I think the Phillies and Astros will play to see who goes to the series. Phillies will win. In the American League, I see the Angels playing the Red Sox in the ALCS. Angels win. Angels over the Phillies AL MVP - Vlad Guerrero NL MVP - Jim Thome AL Cy Young - Mark Mulder NL Cy Young - Roy Oswalt

Hell ya, I was thinking the same thing. Plus I think thats a pretty good pick, but at least he's got the guts to go out on a limb. OH ya, Book it, Cubs finish 2nd in the division behind the Astros. Astros staff is just as good, but their offense is superior as well as their defense. The Cubs have a lousy defense and for a while will be lacking a 4th and 5th starter (cause I don't think Clement is any good anymore).

Darn them all for taking the Padres...thats my pick for the West. Kruk is going to be good on Baseball tonight, I'm really looking forward to him.

Definately a good deal for both teams. I think the Dodgers gave up too much, but you can't look past what Bradley has done. He had like a .435 OBP and is an offensive machine. Hell, if he wasn't such an ass, he'd be comparable to Carlos Beltran, who a ton of people think of as SPECTACULAR. The Dodgers can now move Green to 1st and Encarnacion moves to right and well, the Dodgers now have a semi decent offense with those three.

I think Borchard is going to put it together this year. He was getting some good swings when healthy this spring.

Good stuff Dan

Look out for King, he really started raking the ball late last season. The guy put up MONSTER numbers in college. He's a smaller stature guy, kind of like Rowand, but I think he'll put up some fantastic numbers. And man, Kanny has a stacked roster, imo.

Kelly was an early pick, I know that much. He's out of Pepperdine and played first and outfield there.

Anyone know whats wrong with Wing? That scares me, I really am high on Ryan Wing.
