QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 09:34 PM) Youngsters showing mistakes Split-squad lineups in Spring Training usually see that happen

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) Leesman has been really, really good the last few games. Makes me wonder if Thornton gets traded, if Leesman gets a crack at the bullpen for the Sox? Lefties hit him pretty good unfortunately. Heath is the guy who seems like he could help the roster against righties.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) No. No it has not Yep, two games you can flat out blame his defense on (ironically, not charged with an error in both situations).

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:56 PM) I don't know about that, but I do agree with you in principle..I don't think any of the offers were blowing Kenny away. So instead of dealing with the circus of whether to sign him or trade him this season, they just signed him. I can live with that. Yep, makes sense. Also gave some sense of continuity to the rotation with Floyd likely gone after this year, Peavy a huge question mark and Sale being converted to a starter.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:03 PM) Flowers starting was absolutely the right choice that needed to happen anyways. I hope Viciedo is in the lineup at least

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:30 PM) Lilli, Danks, Flowers, & Escobar are all in the lineup today. The Sox would have been much better off having Stewart start today, especially given the Cubs' struggles against LHP. Instead, you're using a terrible Sunday lineup followed by having Stewart face Garza tomorrow. Hopefully not a recipe for 2 losses in a row.

No thanks to Chone if Sox are being forced to pay anything but the minimum for him.

Well, this sucks. Maybe it will rain tomorrow

REED! Impressive performance, great job by the bullpen. Humber with the interesting victory

Want to get Herrera and keep Ethier from batting again

Way too much of an uppercut swing by Beckham. That was a pitch that the old school Beckham could have lined to right center.

Billy Hamilton is the Reds SS prospect with all those steals

This pitcher has good numbers, but he's given up a ton of homers

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers in this thread. Hope you got the green light to sleep in tomorrow.

AJP!! Nice throw

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:06 AM) They have been looking at infield prospects. But I have a feeling they wont get anybody major league ready for Dempster. They probably don't want anybody MLB ready

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:04 AM) Say the Cubs eat most of Dempsters contract but they want someone like Jones. Would you do it? The Cubs would probably aim higher than getting a future closer. I would not do that trade if I was KW (or Theo)

I don't miss that version of Uribe. Juan Rivera had an epic AB against Crain last year, IIRC

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:01 AM) Nate Jones may be our most expendable piece that actually has a fairly high value No thanks with regards to trading him

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:00 AM) Very close call. I think we got him, but I can't be too pissed since it's a 50/50 call Ump gave us a huge break on the Ethier K last inning

Damn, didn't think Loney had enough speed to beat that out

Not even close...poor Nate Jones, what more does he need to do to be trusted?

Nate must have been tired after his 6 pitches

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:55 AM) Dayan's all out of sorts lately. Getting jammed by pitches ahead in the count, yanking pitches late in the count Sitting on the bench for better part of a week has to be hard on someone as streaky as he is.

Alexei should try to steal against Wright and his slow release
