QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) Theoretically they could potentially send Garcia to AAA since he is working on a new stance/mechanics or I guess trade him. That's what I was thinking. More depth means more trade pieces and since Avi isn't a defensive replacement type OF, Shuck Avi and Sands might be in a battle for the 25.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) I really think Eaton will be a beast in RF. I think he plays LF coming off the shoulder surgery since Melky has a good enough arm fir RF.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 07:51 AM) I can't be the only one it bugs to see May starting a lot of these games in CF right? https://twitter.com/cst_soxvan/status/706503044473618435 Avi single Avila walk, Jacob May 2 strike oppo down the line double scores PR's Engel and Coats from 1st and 2nd. May then steals 3rd. 5-1 Sox.

Eaton with another caught stealing . 0-2 in that department so far this spring. Hasn't shown much of a knack for stealing bases in his career so far.

Back to back on back to back pitches.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) Frazier has such easy power. Ball jumps. Why didnt you say he hit a HR 3-0 Sox

Abreu HR 2-0 Sox

QUOTE (Saufley @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 04:31 PM) Hope it's not an oblique injury. They seem to take a while to heal. Originally said it was back spasms.

Might be a record number of DP's this year with that new slide rule.

4th inning Brantley line out to right, Davidson single, Saladino walk, Eaton single RBI, Sanchez GIDP. 4-3 Sox

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 12:03 PM) Shocking - it looks like there aren't going to be blackouts for spring training games... the mlb.tv stream is showing a commercial break for me. Fingers crossed. Pretty sure you won't be able to watch it because last night the Angels game was blacked out under the same conditions.(game over already for a few hours ) on MLB Network.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 08:18 AM) It'll be interesting to see if us folks in dodger country will get blacked out of the webcast. Their TV deal is retarded. I know won't even be able to watch the MLB. Network late broadcast hours after the game is over.

1st time using phone to post since computer died. Looks like Panarin studied at the Ovechkin School of One timer Accuracy.

What will be Avisail Garcia's status at the start of the regular season ?

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 19, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) My wild guess: we get Either on March 23rd. Either who or who ?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) How is this for an opening question... Would you be OK if the White Sox didn't sign another OF, if they used that money instead to go over their 2016 international bonus pool allotment? Why can't they do both ?

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 12, 2016 -> 09:02 AM) That is your starting right fielder folks. Working on a completely different stance. A new stance ? Todd Stevenson ripped off ( joking ) my idea for Avi. Can't remember what kind of stance I suggested but I know I did suggest it. I think I thought he should open up his stance. We'll see what's going on when he reports or spring games start .

I can't believe no one's figured out Hahn master plan: Sign enough dickheads and LaRoche will retire .

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) "Bounce back" or "rebound" implies that the player in question was good in the past but then had a bad year. That doesn't really fit for Garcia or Johnson, and Webb and Turner are stretches as well. You can't bounce back if there was nothing to bounce back to. Ventura also seems out of place on the list. Didn't see this reply before I posted mine, but thinking along the same lines.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 01:01 PM) When you're hoping for 7 pretty important players to rebound...you aren't a very good team. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/163...-in-2016-season Actually only named 6 players and Ventura and some of those guys mentioned really don't fit the narrative. Garcia and LaRoche do but the others Erik Johnson, Jacob Turner, Alex Avila and Daniel Webb just don't fit it. EJ isn't really hoping for a bounce back because he's not an established ML pitcher. He's already bounced back from his disaster of 2014 . Now he just needs to establish himself as a quality starting pitcher. Turner and Webb probably don't make the opening day roster unless something great happens in ST for them. Avila is what he is ,would love to see him bounce back somewhat but even if he doesn't hit for average he's still good for OBP.

Wasn't Freddy drunk once at Soxfest ? I think there's video of it somewhere. Here it is , 2010 bashing the Cubs

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 6, 2016 -> 09:40 AM) Levine keeps suggesting these mega Sox deals despite the fact they have nothing to get them done (assuming Anderson and Fulmer are untouchable). They do if they move some regulars . Which I've thought would happen eventually . Hahn have to be working within some kind of very tight budget or constraint. Maybe Caulfield was right for bringing up signings in June. I laughed every time I saw him mention it because its a terrible plan for a player. If the Sox are intent on still getting better but already at or near some salary cap and don't want to trade certain minor leaguers what does that leave ? It leaves a big trade of multiple pieces which was why I brought up trading Q to the Dodgers before we started hearing about wanting Puig. It's really the only alternative left . I'm almost to the point of thinking screw these guys ( free agents who will feel they might've got bad advice from their agents and if sign with the Sox they come with a chip on their shoulders like they are pissed they had to sign here.)

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 7, 2016 -> 08:09 AM) I'm hoping they just have Yadiel Hernandez in their back pocket waiting for him to post. He's a former teammate of Jose's and they're around the same age, so it wouldn't surprise me if they're friends or still talk so hopefully there is some recruiting going on to make sure the Sox don't lose that bid. It's at the point where I can't even see the Sox outbidding anyone for anything or if cheaper guys come to the market like Kang they either don't bid or don't think the talent from whatever league won't translate. We haven't heard of the Sox for any of the Korean signees. For that matter none of the Cubans since they got expensive .It's a fail fail system.

I'm always somewhat surprised when people compare pitchers such as defining an ace or the other fangraphs article from last season looking for young starting trios as good as the Mets , how pitching in different leagues isn't brought up more. Put Sale , Q and Rodon in the NL and move DeGron Syndergaard and Harvey to the AL and everything is very different.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 08:56 PM) That was super fun to watch. Toews ties for the league lead with his 8th GWG. Also has 3 shorties. Welcome back to the lineup Cap. That Roszival goal was something you don't see every day. Once a year or less since that was his 4th goal in the last 5 seasons. Also Kane's goal was his career high 31st.
