QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 23, 2013 -> 11:16 AM) Ryan Masset. He was traded with Danny Richar to Cincinnati for Griffey. Masset turned into a pretty solid reliever for Cinci. His name is Nick.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 20, 2013 -> 02:36 PM) Good for him. He still was only the Sox for 10 years and is not a HOF. Stay off my wall. LOL, when you own a team, you can do whatever you want.

QUOTE (RegionSox @ Dec 20, 2013 -> 12:40 PM) I always wondered why baseball makes the manager and coaches wear the uniforms. You don't have that in any other sport. Probably because early on, many managers were also players.

QUOTE (bear_brian @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) A few facts about Gordon Beckham last year: 1. Beckham hit .287 vs RH pitchers, but only .195 vs LH. That is the exact opposite of what you would think. 2. Beckham broke the hamate bone in his wrist after the first 7 games of the season. He missed six weeks, came back and through July 22nd had his average well over .300. On that date he re injured the wrist, tearing the ligament away from the bone. He continued to play the rest of the year, but hit .240 in August and a lowly .210 in September. When RV says he was hurt, he is not kidding. I think we need to give this kid a break. If his wrist has healed, there is no reason why he cannot be an above average 2B offensively - better than Semien - and certainly he is already an "A" defensively. There is little doubt in my mind that the Sox are going to commit to him unless somebody knocks them off their feet with an offer. Another fact is that he is 27 and no longer a kid. He may get one more chance but its time for him to put up or get out, IMO.

OK, this may be difficult to describe in text but I will try. I used this when I was a long-term sub last year. You have a vocabulary list - at least one word per student, but more is OK too. I had them write 5 words each day in their note book. Once everybody had the complete list we began the game. You will need to make cards-laminate them, if possible-with one definition and one different vocab term below the definition. Ex: A triangle with one angle that measures 90 degrees. supplementary angles Hand out the cards and keep one for yourself. You will begin the game by reading the term on the bottom of the card. Whoever has the card with that definition will read the definition out loud and then read the term on the bottom of the card. Whoever has that definition reads it out loud and then reads the term on that card. This continues as you go through the entire set of cards. You time them and see how long it takes to get through the entire set. You can have them compete against their own times and/or other classes as well. With you starting the game with your card, you will ensure that you will have the last definition too-this helps so you can start and stop the timer. You can do this for the first or last 10 minutes or so of class. We had a few days of practice runs before starting timing and kept track of best times on the board so they could see how they measured up. It will require a bit of planning with the cards, but if you do it right, you will be able to use any card to start. If you have more terms than students just give some students an extra card-this also allows classes of different sizes to compete against each other too. Having more than one card also require students to pay attention after they’ve read theirs. The classes I used it with really got into the competition and since you are willing to offer them prizes that always helps too. Hope that made sense.

Who is sending the PTBNL?

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) So 40 man is full now with Bellasario and Paulino, right? According to this, Bellisario made it 38, so is should be its 39 now.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 02:58 PM) Because the Sox roster now stands at 40 because of the acquisition of Bellisario the Sox are no longer eligible to make a pick in the rule 5 draft. They would have to clear another roster spot 1st. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...t&p=2900159

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 4, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) If Arizona wants Sale, start with Archie Bradley and Didi Gregorius, and then add 2-3 more. But they've already said Bradley isn't going anywhere. But they've already said Sale isn't going anywhere.

Love Paulie. Not sure about this move. I will give them the benefit of the doubt because its still December. I just hope having 1 fewer defensive backups doesn't end up getting somebody injured.

Where would he play?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 04:14 PM) It's not ideal, but Matheny could certainly use Craig as a swiss army knife again. The only 3 positions he didn't play in 2011 were SS, C, and P. If you move him around to 1B, 3B, LF, and RF while DHing when they play in AL parks, he could easily get 500 PAs. LOL. He played 11 innings at 3rd base 3 seasons ago and you are calling other people out for cherry picking.

A St. Louis writer takes a little jab at the Sox (Hahn?) in the last sentence. I wonder what they were asking for Alexei back at the deadline. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/ber...70aead2b04.html

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 21, 2013 -> 05:27 PM) Sorry lol. Being from St. Louis I had to hear everyone say how awesome David Freese was and how everyone loved him and I said from the beginning he was overrated. He was a hometown World Series hero. Of course people loved him. But I think that feeling has waned over the past 2 seasons.

Not a player, but Cardinals extend Matheny through 2017.

Is there a full list of all the free agents somewhere? Isn't that usually in a thread?
