QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 07:18 AM) 25.5 M between Ricky Nolasco and Ervin Santana. 10.5 M on Toriiiiiiiiii. Be sure to thank God for Sale, Quintana, and Abreu's contracts every night before bed. And Eaton for that matter if he plays like last year and can stay injury free. But we can say the same about the other names you mentioned also.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 08:04 AM) I saw your response in the other thread, and I just disagree. I'm not gonna get in an argument with you over it. Simply put Caulfield is an intelligent poster and when he stays on topic he is good conversation. When he thinks of 50 different names just to fluff up a post it is annoying and distracts from the post and generates a TL;DR response from me, and I know I am not the only one. That's all I'm gonna say about it Fine then I will have the last say on it. We are all here glorifying athletes as fans . We speak about them all the time. We pay to watch them perform . My god the things people get annoyed about. Chill out. It's only distracting if you let it be. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) All this name dropping bs isn't cute or funny, and adds little to the discussion How is saying the names of others who might be available to replace a guy we think needs replacing adding little to the discussion ? If he had said others are available someone else might ask, like who ? If Caul thinks saying Adam Dunn is funny question his sense of humor ( which you did) but it isn't name dropping .

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 06:05 PM) Jesus Christ Caulfield, you name drop worse than the rapper Game. I fail to understand the rap Caulfield gets for namedropping. One person overstates it then the sheep follow. We are here because of our favorite team which consists of a 40 man roster , numerous players in many levels of minor leagues , plus all coaches and executives on those levels not to mention the possibilities of trades and free agency with 29 others teams who are similarly stocked with players coaches and execs. Most posts are talking about those 1000's of individuals in some way, shape or form. Besides name dropping is an attempt to impress others with a bit of snobbery involved to make yourself appear more important than the next person. Aren't we all mostly talking about the same people usually ? Name dropping isn't just using a lot of different names of players and people we are all here to talk about since we are FANS anyway. It doesn't appear to me that Caulfield does this to impress anyone or feel superior about himself.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Thanks for the TL;DR, I can't bring myself to deal with slideshow articles It is actually pretty good. There's an article for each slide show page covering different parts of the team including possible impact rookies.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Mar 30, 2015 -> 03:51 PM) 80-82 I agree with this. Sox have holes at Catcher, 2B, 3B, RF, and back of rotation. Bullpens are always iffy. I wouldn't be shocked if things go right and they make the playoffs, but as they stand right now 80 wins seems about right. 60W 60 L Record in the other 42 games :25-17 .

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) It wouldn't but why bother. Rodon should not pitch out of the bullpen. Go to Charlotte and get starts in immediately. Why bother ? First off if you believe the Sox have a shot at the playoffs Rodon in the pen might get an extra win while simulataneously limit his innings that might be needed down the stretch. Chances are he won't pitch more than 150 innings. If he's starting all season it's possible he reaches that limit in September right when the Sox might need him most. If he delays starting until some time in May he'll have plenty of time to get in a groove starting and keep him from pitching too many innings early in the season. I know it the Sox won't use him as a reliever but will probably limit his innings some other way throughout the season.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 07:58 AM) Rodon isn't making the team, but it would be nice if he was there to go 2-4 innings every three to five days, and at the end of the year, he's pitched in 45-50 games with about 140 important innings. But that's not baseball right now, so it won't happen. Rodon still could start the season with the Sox and get sent down once Petricka is feeling better. How would that effect his service time ?

Good luck Mr. Wilkins. Hope you become a star.

Cleto isnt making the team . I don't think Albers is either. More and more looks like Rodon could be in the pen with the way the pen has been looking.

Might be a surprise candidate. After all there are more than just the pitchers listed still in camp. Maybe someone like Ascenio .

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 01:26 PM) Why is the media so invested in having Rodon up right away? They like to view themselves as not shills for the teams to show they don't suck up .

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 25, 2015 -> 10:12 PM) Here is video of Rodon's 9 K's for all you kids to share on the Twitters and the Facebooks. WARNING: NSFW. http://m.mlb.com/cws/video/topic/26659992/...oyals/?c_id=cws The Royals K'd less than any other team last year but against Rodon it was like it was Sale pitching the way the lefties flailed at the slider low and away. Also like Sale no lefties got a hit off him.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 25, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) Barnum destroyed that Off a lefty too.Barnum is LH for those who don't know,

Keon Barnum hits a 3 run jack !

Bonifacio triple , Shuck double makes it 3-0.
