Its mainly a rumor, that they are considering it. If he's in AA though, then he won't be starting at least I don't see him starting there. If he's back in A ball, then there would be a good shot he'd be starting.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays outfield prospect. They got a ton of outfield prospects, but this guy was potentially the best outfield prospect in the games, along with Rocco Baldelli or whatever his name is on Tampa as well.

Then again you just never know. Wrights arm injury is more serious, and Loiaza struggles with Colon walking potentially at the end of the season and we could need three more starters. I know one thing, I'm glad we got so much depth.

Week Five Spring Training Report By Mario Scalise March 25, 2003 SoxNet.net Recap: A Promising Defeat (Colorado vs Sox) By Mario Scalise March 24, 2003 SoxNet.net

Well you said you'd be in Anaheim and I'm only like 10 minutes from there and usually when they play there I end up finding a way to get in. If I do, I'll look for ya.

I'd assume that them moving him into the rotation would be for two reasons. The first to strecth him out and the second to give him more work.

They won't be afraid to use chemical weapons, and thats my fear. Whenever you have someone that is on a last cause type mission then they will use everything they got. Hopefully our troops are ready, well equipped and can get through it all healthy. This is going to be tough. Any reports yet on the chemical weapons plant. Also, I think the first sign that they actually do use Chemical weapons and you'll see an air campaign before you see the troops go back in. As far as APU goes, he's back. He emailed me one day wanting to be banned.

I want to see that, it looks real good. Need to stock up on some movie passes again. Damn you Mark, I'm coming out to Chicago for some free popcorn and stuff.

Glover is a two inning guy or more, if needed.

The question is whether they move him to the rotation or not. If they move him to the rotation he'll be back in a ball, otherwise he'll likely start off in AA. They are definately jumping him through quickly, and it would probably be wisest to start him off in high a, and then move him to AA early on, but that probably won't happen.

All I'm saying is he'd of been one awesome pick up for 300 k a year or so. This is a guy that throws innings, is known to be clutch, and would really fit in great giving Wright time to get healthy and if Loiaza fell back down to earth we'd have tons of depth. Damn, that would of been sweet.

Livan was one of those guys I would of loved getting. Man, that was a great deal by the Expos.

Ya, but Jim Parque had the same problem after surgery. Maybe Mike aught to call up the Drays. I don't know why I'm so mean with my comments about Porzio, but I swear every time I watch him pitch he gets hammered. I really do wish him all the best though and hope my buddy Gary is right on and that he eventually wins the Cy Young!!!!!!!

Greg, if I end up going to one of those games I'm gonna be looking for ya Hopefully I'll be getting a call soon from one of my buddies thats dad usually gets tickets to it every year from his company. I love watching college basketball.

Cubs will only do good if someone steps up and both their rotation and bullpen are lights out. I could see it out of the rotation, but I doubt I'll see it out of the bullpen. Oh ya, they'll need some big time step ups offensively as well.

With hitters, you can be a little worried, but with pitchers, you don't look too much into their stats if they have proven themselves before. Pitchers era's can be overstated big time and it could just be they were working on another pitch or whatever. They will all have their blowups, especially in spring.

Ya, but Baggs, I hope none of them turn out like your guy Porzio. I got nothing against him, and I do feel sorry cause he's pretty much out of luck in the White Sox organization with all the good lefties coming up.

Don't be, its just the fact that he can't throw a curveball or a slider in the thin air of Arizona. It will be all good once he's at the cell.

Sometimes the boards get a little harsh, but its all in good love.

Greg, you better hope that Kansas doesn't play in the finals so you can see the Sox home opener As far as Rios goes, he's a lefty that was signed on to replace Liefer. He's been alright with other teams, but I think he's a pretty solid role player and can play any outfield position and has some decent pop. I think he could hit .265-.275 off the bench with some pop (Much better then Liefer). Daubach has played pretty good in spring and is a definate option, especially if the Sox decided to move Lee as Daubach could come in and provide a lefthanded bat. He hits with power and should get quite a few ab's off the bench. He's probably one of the best guys on the bench in the majors. Of course the Twinkies got loads of talent on their bench. This team will contend and they will go all the way this year, barring serious injuries. I really like the entire makeup and the mood seems to be right. They aren't great defensively, but are improved and offensively they rock but pitching wise they got a great bullpen and a great rotation if Wright is alright. Wright and Garland will have very good years (16 wins a each or so ) and then you have two likely 20 game winners at the front end. Flash is a game as long as he's healthy. If he's hurt we have Stewart, Munoz, Sanders and Almonte all in the minors ready to step up if needed. We also have Ginter whose been lights out during spring training down in AAA. I really like our chances, we got depth in every area so if a guy goes down, we'll have a way to replace him (may not be as good, but still good teams have depth)

He's got the fact that he was a first round pick to rush him up. If he pitches lights out, he'll shoot by a lot of guys. We may have 3 lefty relievers on the southside next year in Marte, Munoz, and Ring. I don't think Wunsch is bad either, so we'll have plenty of good battles. This season is going to rock

Ya, thats my job If it was up to Mario, we'd have no boards. I'm the same way though. As long as people stay clean with eachother its all good. Like you two even though your going back and forth, seem to be able to handle all that rage the two of you throw out, so it ain't our business to get in the way.

Heck ya I'd take Tai Streets, but only for like one or two of our comp picks.

Close means public transitable, I doubt I'll be driving. Any suggestions are certainly appreciated. You can hitch the subway from pretty much anywhere, and thats the best way to go to the park if your in the city.

Your just a phone call away from the majors
