BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Time to start texting my cub friends. They'll love this.

Not to mention his first homer came on a fastball inner half....

We need more of those opposite field hits Slayer. Lets get that gap to gap machine I've seen and heard about from college to the minors back to earth again.

Well he was rushed. But I'm glad we are giving him consistant at-bats to learn this. Still wished we saw more of the gap-to gap machine of Slayer from college to the whole minors, but that last at-bat, opposite field hit.. is nice to see from him.

HIS NAME IS GORDON BECKHAM!!! SLAYER BABY!!!

Meh.. me and fathom said that "point" for a while now, but we don't come hoggin all the glory. Just gotta get our post more love/recoqnition, more often I guess..

When Mike put up his sig that day... already knew her name.. and waaaay ahead of ya BearSox.

Awesome broad I must say.. Don't hit your chin too high Mike.

Big D is one guy I'm going to watch very closely, since I did know the kid.

Registered back in 2004 when I was J.Reedfan8 (hahaha I had to re-register to change that) Still a fans' fan of the minors... always have been. Its just amazing looking at potential future sox or college players. Always liked evaluating prospects. Maybe it's because I know some guys who are now in the minors who I played with/hung out with, or maybe its cause as a potential draftee myself.. I coulda been a 4.0 tool player, baseball stud.. **Cue for Heads to set me straight. **

From what I heard, his swing/approach mostly, isn't the same as it was in Charlotte. Not sure if he is still feeling those injuries suffered either/or if he is REALLY 100%, which I doubt.

Who fathom? C'mon. He is not even the biggest Pods hater on the board at all. Capn is followed by a couple others. If you hate fathom's hate on Pods, then I can't even bother to think what you would think of Capn's hate on him.

How many games out are we now? 6.5? 7?

Ozzie's specialty.

I would had still let Castro hit there. It was obvious Lou was going to the pen anyways. AJ can get into one vs lefties, but he is very incostistant.

I would think Castro can hit RHP/LHP but of course Ozzie favors that Lefty/Righty tendency as usual.

Boy I gotta say.. if it was any other pitcher, we wouldn't be this close. Marmol... man that guy has fallen off.

Said it many times. That up the middle combo needs that communication on the field. You can't do that with a guy who speaks little english. I still see a Slayer-Getz combo next year, despite what Ozzie says about Alexei's SS abilities.

That is amazing.

Well since soxtalk was down.. figured I post this here for the next Futuresox writeup. Nevin Griffith pulling a Liriano. Will ditch that nasty slider for good.

Omogrosso continues to struggle. Greene has a .917 ops in Kanny. I would think that he has little to prove in Low A anymore. Greene, Carter, Sauer have a High A sighting waiting. Hopefully they can make room for those three. Andy.. two years.. that's way too long buddy.

Congrats to Tyler Flowers and Dayan Viciedo on their Futures Game selections.

I already said that.. But I get your point 101.

I gotta say.. I missed you Kyyle.

Same. Liked the Johnson pick, don't like the Gibson pick. Johnson is a very solid all around player, who can create his own shot, has a nice I.Q. for the game. Gibson is basically the much less athletic/OLDER version (might even have a worse offensive game as well) of Tyrus comming out of college.
