Always one of my faves growing up. RIP Kid!

Anybody check out the current ESPN MLB main page cover story today/latey? Walker needs to "fix" Heyward...

Love your handle Cy...he was always one of my faves. Wonder if many of the youngin's know who he is?

Tell ya what...you gotta love Dunn's attitude. I for one will really be rooting for this guy when the season starts...good guy. Would love it for him and the Sox to see him turn it around this year. And to a previous poster...YES...he did need to lose some weight. His bat was extremely slow last year....

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

Probably the 2 names not on that list: Cowley and greg775!

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) While I enjoyed the article and generally agreed with his opinion, I must say I hated that he wrote it. As far as I am concerned, any mention of Oz in a Chicago newspaper or referenceing the Sox is a bad article and further plays into their over inflated opinions of themselves (Guillens). This is my general feeling towards it. Everybody just move on and let it go and they'll better off.

Always one of my all-time favorite unis! #15

sounds like a real winner...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 24, 2012 -> 03:05 PM) jonmorosi Jon Morosi #Tigers had Miguel Cabrera get into shape to play third base, just in case, source says. Fielder 1B/DH, Cabrera 1B/3B/DH. What kind of shape...by who's standards?!? I'll believe that when I see it...

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 05:46 PM) The team will suck. They are rebuilding to an extent. There aren't any expectations this year. The results of the season are rather meaningless. I guess I'm not sold on that premise. Many guys woefully underachieved last year. Who's to say. That said...I'm not expecting the world like last year...just saying it wouldn't surprise me if they came out and played well given the underdog status they are. Still a lot of solid pieces here IMO...

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 05:21 PM) f*** Ozzie. I dont owe him s***. this. Good lord this is f***ing ridiculous. I wish everybody would just shut the f*** up and get on with their jobs...that includes you Peavy! I have nothing against Ozzie personally but I wish he'd just STFU and he and his entire family take their twitter accounts and shove 'em up their ass!!!

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 03:09 PM) Lillibridge at 3B... That scares me. Has he even tried playing 3B before? I think McPherson is the only real 3B we have that could backup Morel. I think Ozzie Martinez has played 3B too, but who knows if he's any good. This whole list is somewhat underwhelming. It'll be nice to see Thompson play, but he's still so far away. Gotta tell ya...it really doesn't scare me all that much. The Elf has more than proven his worth and I really don't have much doubt he'd be fine there actually. He's played every infield position...what makes you think he couldn't play 3rd if need be? He's a playa. I've heard worse ideas...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 22, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) Kyle Williams = awful That family needs to be banished from sports. I'm actually shocked he's on an NFL roster. He was "decent" at ASU...but was notorious for coughing up the ball at critical times...

I'm still so f***in' pissed right now over the Illini game I can't even sleep. WTF is the point of this POS Motion offense?!?!? Dribble the ball and pass around the perimeter 30 feet from the basket. I've been a huge Weber supporter...but this dude is taxing my last nerve as a game day coach. I know he's not shooting the ball...but goddamn! And I'm not even mentioning the POS officiating...pathetic.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 13, 2012 -> 07:43 PM) Why not move Felix unless they are going to ink him to a long term deal? I would think Felix would net more and is under less team control. That's what I was thinking. Appeasement of the fan base no doubt. But I really don't get this trade on the surface...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 12:18 PM) What? "That f***er came outta nowhere!..."

well...he's proven he can rake at various levels. I'm just glad he's finally going to get the chance to do it on a daily basis. I can live with some growing pains...but I'd definitely say more star than stiff.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 05:04 PM) I think the return is more than OK for Frasor, Agreed...I thought it was a head scratcher bringing him back personally. I'm just glad somebody wanted him at his money. Thornton has to be the next one to go...

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) If Floyd and Thornton are gone before Cespedes signs, I'd say the chances we sign him go up insanely in light of Frasor. Makes much more sense...and probably easier to trade Thornton. Plus...I wouldn't trust the return for Floyd the KW would swing.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) Besides Thornton, who has he turned from a guy who can't throw strikes to one who can? I'd say he helped Humber...and to a point EJax. I'm sure Santos to a point too. Ya know what I'd always find interesting at ST is going down to the bullpen with the pitchers before the game and how Coop would emphasis more location than anything. You really can't ignore Coop's influence on some of these guys. Not saying he's the Guru of Pitching Coaches...but I'm glad he's here.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) If this helps us sign Cespedes, great trade. Actually this aspect makes me feel good...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 02:00 PM) We still should have gotten something of value. I'm sick and tired of getting nothing for our guys, with our best hauls ever being merely "fair value". This ^^^^ Glad Kenny held on to him at deadline last year. GODDAMN!!! EFF ME...that's the best return you could get for Q?!?!?! I'm friggin pissed off right now!
