QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 08:12 PM) I'm doing play-by-play you moron. :headshake Didn't you call Karno a moron, too? I'm in good company. I luuuuv Juan Uribe.

I think a lot of teams would love to have him as a number four, too... Keep on posting. Who knows, maybe 10K isn't out of site by the end of April.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) Oh okay. I guess I missed where Garland did this exact same thing almost every start last season. :rolly Gotta love league average...

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) What is your point? I was right. Garland gave up the big inning as I predicted. He can pitch well for a few innings but he always serves up one big inning. It's Spring Training.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 08:05 PM) I was right. Carlos Lee homers. 3-1 Brewers. Garland sucks. Ozuna for MVP! :rolly Gonna happen a lot this year in Milwaukee. They got themselves a damn good LF'er... Carlos Lee

I'm going on WhiteSox.com, and I can't seem to get even a single ticket thing come up. Anyone know why? EDIT: And I'm talking Opening Day. I'm looking for one lower deck ticket.

Thanks for the recap, Kalapse! How did Contreras look live? He looked decent on TV, bad early on, but settled in a little bit. What'd you think?

I'll be keeping a close eye on this years team at Birmy. Lots of interesting names -- Bull, Honel, Tracey, Reynoso, Jenks, Rogo, Gonzalez, Fields, Owens, Sweeney, Young -- all guys that I'll be looking out for.

Great atmosphere out there. Mike, Jim, Steff, and other soxtalkers -- if you get around to reading this, great job out there! I'll be up there tomorrow.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:48 AM) Giambi would probably make it at that point. Also, another catcher. We're along ways away, but I'd assume Adkins, Burke, Walker, Borchard (maybe), and maybe a couple other vet outfielders/infielders would be called up.

QUOTE(doUrememberwhen @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:46 AM) but that'd be better to talk about round as break Again -- such as who? What 15 guys should we even consider before Giambi? And if you say Sweeney/Anderson, I'll just laugh. (Not that I don't like those two, just that it'd be silly to get the arbitration clock started just for a September callup)

QUOTE(doUrememberwhen @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:43 AM) And even then I'd rather see a couple guys b4 JG2 Such as...? EDIT: And qwerty, if you're reading this, did you read Bill James' interview on SoSH? There've been a bunch of real good interviews lately on some blogs/boards...

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:42 AM) Agreed, but his lack of defense/position would make it hard for him to get a roster spot. The rosters expand to 40 men. I don't think there's 15 guys ahead of Jeremy...

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:40 AM) Giambi can barely play LF. He's a 1B/DH at best. With Konerko, Gload, Everett, and Frank (when healthy) what good is he, except as an injury replacement? Did you read my post above that, at all? He shouldn't be on the 25-man, but I think he'll be a good callup when the rosters expand.

Thanks for posting that, Bullard! Hopefully your stay in Birmy won't be too long, though. Best of luck, and here's to a great season!

QUOTE(doUrememberwhen @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:36 AM) I simply pointed out the fact the he was terrible while on roids what makes u think he'd be any better than mendoza..I mean Joe Borchard I don't think Borchard is a real good comparison. Giambi has a career OBP of somewhere near .370, IIRC.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:32 AM) Willie has all the speed in the world but can't do anything with it because he is a horrible base-runner. I bet Ozzie likes Timo more because he actually KNOWS how to run the bases. Harris still had 19 SB's last year. And, in a Dave Roberts-like, playoff situation, I bet Ozzie would have a little more faith in Harris than Timo, but maybe that's just me. And, Giambi confessed, didn't hide it, and it's in his past. I don't think the 'roids helped him much, either. He's an OBP machine -- that's it. Sucks defensively, can't hit for AVG -- just an OBP machine. EDIT: And, FWIW, I don't think Giambi should make the 25-man. Just wanted to put that out there, but if he's still with us, he'll be a nice PH option in September, when (hopefully) we're making our playoff push.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:27 AM) And that's why Timo will stay on the roster over Willie. Timo is great with RISP and can knock in runs, Willie doesn't. 6-5 Brewers. I knew that was coming, the 'clutch' argument. And this has gone to the s***ter.

No, no, no, no, no. Not talking about Gload -- Gload's on the team no matter what, and I don't care what the hell Gload does in the OF, his bat/hitting is much better than anything Perez can do. I'm talking about Giambi -- and I don't want to see him play defense anywhere.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:20 AM) We shall see. I really doubt that though. Kenny loves Timo and he has ripped Willie many times. I mean come on, Kenny has traded for Robbie Alomar twice because Willie couldn't get the job done consistently. I don't see that happening, unless Willie is killing the ball. Yeah, well -- Harris is still much more of an asset than Perez, and I'd hope Kenny can see that. We shall see is right. But, it'd be a shame if Perez is blocking not one, but two left-handed *bats* that are better than him.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:15 AM) That's great but Iguchi is the starter so it doesn't really matter. Ozuna's bat will stay on the roster before Willie's glove does. Remember, we need righty bats off the bench. Yeah, and Harris >>>>>> Perez -- even factoring in Perez' ability to play the corners. Rowand can play all three spots, as can Podsednik. I doubt there's a time where those two are out of the game at the same time, unless it's late in a game. That's the case, Harris to center, Ozuna/Gload to left. Not that hard. And, the way Hawk/DJ were talking about it the other day on-air, they seemed to think Perez was the one fighting for a spot once Thomas comes back.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:12 AM) We need 5 outfielders, we don't need 7 infielders (3 of which play 2B). And your boy can play the corner spots, too. And, no one plays second even close to that of Harris. Not even close.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:12 AM) We need 5 outfielders, we don't need 7 infielders (3 of which play 2B). Harris plays center. All Timo has is a nice arm.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:09 AM) They aren't going to waive Timo and his $1 million salary. If Kenny is true to his word about not worrying about the money, he should be...

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 2, 2005 -> 03:08 AM) Yeah, I know but the way he's been playing he deserves to be sent down. I'm sure he will be sent down when Frank is healthy. I sure hope not...
