Brian Anderson sucks.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 17, 2009 -> 07:40 PM) Wait - someone in the game thread said that even though Gameday showed Carrasco pitching, the box score now shows Braun. I'll wait until tomorrow to see which is correct. If it was Braun, then I'll update DJ's numbers. White Sox on the mound: Lefty Clayton Richard solidified his position as an insurance policy for the starting rotation in case Bartolo Colon or Jose Contreras aren't ready when the season begins, tossing five innings and giving up two runs on three hits while striking out one, walking one and hitting a batter. He threw 69 pitches, 41 of them strikes. D.J. Carrasco relieved Richard with a scoreless frame, but White Sox pitcher Ryan Braun was touched for four runs on three hits in the seventh. Lance Broadway pitched a scoreless ninth, but then gave up the winning run in the 10th on a wild pitch.

Those numbers for DJ are incorrect btw. He has a 5.40 era but im too lazy to look up his whip

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 17, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) Three shutout innings for Clayton Richard. One hit, one walk. He's making Buehrle's contract look bad. Just my opinion. wat.

Mark Teahen destroys Buerhle. Or at least it seems like it.

2IP, 1 hit, 4ks. Pretty awesome.

1-2-3 Inning for Contreras! 2 Ks! What a story!

BA with the GS to win. Game over.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 14, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) 26 PA for Beckham on the spring and he's still yet to strikeout. He and AJ are the only hitters who can claim this. I think AJ might be more surprising than Beckham. Paulie ties it up.

Has KW/OG mentioned Lilli as a possible choice at CF at all or is that something that we just came up with.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 04:44 PM) At least to start the season, yes, if the season started right now I'd take Wise and Lillibridge and start it as a platoon. They are simply playing better than the other options. Fields singles to start the inning. 3/4 for Joshua today. Anderson up again. Someone slap him and tell him to wake up. Josh is 3 for 3 with a walk.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) Lillibridge hasn't even played CF since college and even then he split time between that and SS. How can someone be considered a plus defender at a tough position that he a.) hasn't played in 4 years and b.) never played full time? Yah. I can't imagine that happening. No matter what averages are, I just really can't see anything other than Wise/Owens and Anderson platoon no matter what BA does. THey'll keep him for his defense.

It's too far away to be making any big statements like that. One player could get hot and cold and in one week their avgs will be totally different

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 04:00 PM) I've realized that I'm a bigger fan of DWise than a lot of people on here. I think he's ok for what he is. I'd have no problem at all with him batting 9th. I'm just not sure about him leading off. Much better than BA or Owens for me tho.

Has Wise had any patience in any of his stops before playing with us last year?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 03:43 PM) I made that post before I read that article (which I posted in the Owens thread). I still think if Wise continues to hit .350+ in the spring he's going to be the leadoff man on Opening Day. what other options are there? (assuming Owens has sucked his way out of the spot). Beckham at 2b leading off? (I dont think they are going to bring Beckham until later so they don't start his arb clock) Getz at 2b leading off? One of those with Wise/BA platooning in CF batting 9? I'm thinking that Wise leading off in CF with Getz batting 9th seems most likely. I just dont think they want Getz leading off, nor Beckham for multiple reasons, one of which listed above.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Mar 9, 2009 -> 04:28 PM) I am very worried about Danks. Maybe they have caught up with him? Discuss hehe

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 9, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) 1 more time. According to Melton the Sox improved their holding over runners last year. Teams stole about 30% more bases against the Sox last year and for a higher percentage than 2007. 19% CS for Sox catchers in 2007 went down to 18% last year. Sorry Bill, wrong again. I can hear you getting angry

Poor Poreda is Porous..... He appears to be wild.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 9, 2009 -> 03:24 PM) Link What would you expect him to say? There is a real chance that he's out there opening day no matter what. He can't say he sucks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 9, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) All we can hope for is for him to keep playing awful this spring. Well it's either him or Wise. I'm not sure which I want to be completely honest.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 9, 2009 -> 03:16 PM) 4-3 strikes again And f*** YOU weird announcer guy. All what tools? Speed? Check. . . . alright that's all I got. Aww. Don't shoot the poor announcer messanger

Jerry Owens somehow has 6 walks this spring.

Tony G!
