Diaz sure has been pitching sharply. Porzio blows....he'll never beat out someone like Munoz or even Sanders. I think he'll be cut as the Sox add Brian Daubach to the 40 man roster.

Interesting. I wasn't able to see Frank when I was there this weekend, but hopefully he's ripping the ball. I can't wait till the Sox get one of their games televised. Can anyone tell me when the Sox are broadcasting a spring training game?

Damn, I wish Sanders did better. I thought he looked pretty solid, but I don't see him beating out Wunsch. I don't think anyone will, but Munoz is damn good.

Sounds good so far. Your updates are kicking ass clujer!!!

So you listen to the art bell show or the formely known as Art Bell show? Also, if you are having trouble, just past the link of the picture or sig and I'll help you out.

Hell Ya; Alex, you want to set everything up?

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'd think it would be more important giving fringe players at bats then someone else. Maybe just let the teams decide. If they would rather work a pitcher they can do that or vice versa. It ain't a big deal either way though. With split squad games and such, its pretty easy to get varying players a good number of ab's.

Thanks for the update. Mark, Jon and Bartolo have all been looking great thus far in spring.

Ok; so I'm assuming this was before my time or something?

Alomar will walk less times than he will homer, does anyone know how patient Miguel is? Miguel is pretty good at drawing walks.

harris is still hitting the ball in the air and from watching him play CF against the cubs id rather have HSC out there in cf ...the dude is weak in cf...and his arm...weak weak weak...if rowand cant go and they send borchard down we got to come up with another option other than harris... Baggs, lets just say I agree with your assesment other then him hitting it in the air. From what I saw he was hitting it to first or 2nd every at bat, but it wasn't getting through. I lean towards Miles if Rios can play center.

Matthew. I agree with the idea of having Rauch our number 5, but if the Sox open the season using the #1-4 with the 5 pitching sporadically then I believe a veteran is better suited to handle the longer periods of rest, etc. Plus, Rauch can get regular action in the minors getting his stamina, etc up so he is ready once we go to the 5 full time. Plus, with Wright a ???(Injury) we don't know what will happen.

He just thinks if he waits he can get one more year guaranteed. I have a hunch he'll have signed a long term deal by opening day.

Who is he? Is he in our system?

you are courting trouble from the Miles fan club - be careful! I'm part of the Aaron Miles fan club, but there is no way Miles should start over Jimenez. Its Jimenez's job at the start of the season and it will be his unless he absolutely bombs. I do rate Miles as the backup plan if Jimenez fails cause he is a better option leading off then Willie Harris.

No, he pitched on Friday; I know that for sure and I think he pitched another time or two before that.

Alomar will be the opening day catcher, but after that everything I've read and heard says Olivo will be the one getting the bulk of the action. THey will start him slowly though. He looked lost at the plate the game I saw him play. Now that the other catchers are getting sent down, I'd like for Olivo to get a whole lot more at bats.

yep, the weather was perfect out there. Had a blast and got quite a few things to say in regards to the players. Hopefully I finish it tonight, if not, I will finish it tomorrow.

Yep, like Hudler said, its mainly a money thing.

All I know is this is a good problem to have. If Wright's injury is more serious then we aught to sign another pitcher.

I think that the Sox offered a fair deal. Buerhle has decided to go another way, FOR NOW. This doesn't mean he wants to go to the Cardinals and you can't say that the Sox were absolute cheap asses cause this was a fair offer. The two sides will probalby talk again. The Sox gave him a good amount of money when they signed him to this one year deal and they showed him some respect.

I bet we'll see things change up a bit and this deal may turn into a reality a month from now or even a couple weeks from now.

Yep, I have always liked the idea of Ponson. However, I don't like giving up Lee straight up because right now we have nothing proven to add on offensively. Borchard isn't ready from what I saw of him. He's definately made some improvements but he now needs to work on them in the minors for a couple of months. Now if the Sox could find a way to bring in another outfielder or something, then I definately would be for it, especially now that I have concern over Wright's health. Jas....since when is Daubach not proven? i thought dau looked pretty good this past weekend....... That's always good to hear How the hell was that trip anyways? trip was good.. was nice to be in the sun.. i tried to look up our mr. bullard but had no luck.. i did however get to sit down and talk a little while with my hero mr. miles... a common friend did the introductions.....i was very happy to have that chance... hes a wonderful guy........and im not being biased.............i would love to have him on the team...... jas you were very anti miles.. what changed your mind????????? I'm studying for a test but I got quite a few things to say about him tomorrow after the test when I can write a long thing up. He's gonna be right there very high up on the list, along with Sanders and Munoz. I met up with Bullard over at the minor league facilities, he was pretty nice. I never did see ya Michelle. I looked for you and waited for the phone call, but without luck. The weather sure was nice out there though.

Jas....since when is Daubach not proven? I forgot about him. I realized it after I made the post. Also, why not just sign Finley or Rogers. I know we lose a draft pick, but if it means the Sox can go to the series then a 2nd round pick is a small price to pay. He'd be a lefty, has pitched in the AL pretty much is entire career minus parts of last season and would be a pretty darn good #5. Plus, right now it would be nice to have insurance in case Wright goes down. If thats the case, then I think Aaron Miles makes the team. I'm going to do a write up tomorrow, but damn I like that kid. Remember, I was anti Miles beforehand.
