QUOTE(lvjeremylv @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 11:13 PM) I was looking at the Sox TV schedule, and I notice a lot of games being broadcast on "CSN Chicago". Is that the same as Fox Sports Chicago, or is it something different? I'm a bit confused. Thanks in advance. It's comcast sports net.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) I can't see why you wouldn't be able to take your AAP. Whisler I suppose could be considered a bit of a sleeper as he hasn't proven himself yet. It's all up to you, it's just the rest of us may not deem him a possible sleeper. Fair enough, then I'll pick someone else

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) The '04 version (linked) of this thread was classic with BMac and Bullard going at it along with great discussions about the prospects. It came out a month earlier last year, but hey, better late than never. Hopefully we can have another great discussion. With what should be little surprise the people who correctly picked sleepers were mostly experts. Rex (Spidale), BMac (Tracey), and mccarthyp (Tracey) all have first hand experience with the players more than the rest of us and nailed it on the head. EvilJester99 with a solid (and possibly biased) pick of Baj also was a damn good sleeper pick. Ace also claims he had Tracey as his sleeper, but he receives no credit because he mooched the pick off the McCarthy's. So anyway, let's see who everyone has this year. A couple people made picks in September of 04 and a couple others have it in their sigs, but as we are in Spring Training it's more sensible to make a pick here and now. As for my pick I was going to take Adam Ricks, but he's been taken by DBAH0. And then I thought Tyler Lumsden (though I don't know how much of a sleeper he is), but he has also been picked thanks to SoxAce. In my continuing effort to be different I must pick a player before anyone else. I'm going with Adam Russell because he was developed going into the draft with 3 pitches. He's also suppposed to have a good head on his shoulders as in he's coachable. I think he's a good pick. I also like Evan Tartaglia (good speed, draws walks) and Lucas Harrell (young pitcher with good fastball). P.S. We are getting the FutureSox Top 25 out this week. Jason should be able to get it out sometime very soon, but then again he is very lazy so who knows when it will come out lol. Am I allowed to take AAP?? If so I got Wes then. Also, does he count as a sleeper?? If not I'll make a different choice.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) I agree with Kentucky over Kansas right now. I was projecting who i think will get them, and i think Kansas could end up getting it over Kentucky down the line here. Fair enough but I do think Kentucky will get a 1 seed. Anyways, espn is doing a new bracketology each day up until selection sunday. They're kind of pointlesss but fun to look at. Can't wait for Selection Sunday

QUOTE(Yoda @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article...t=.jsp&c_id=mlb Here's hoping that Lee has a good time up in Milwaukee... I definitely wish Carlos the best in Milwaukee.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines His personality has been different here, than what has been perceived from his days in Boston. I guess he's really comfortable here. He's too a great season from Carl Carl is going to have a monster year for us, I'm interested to see how Ozzie juggles the lineup once Frank is back but that's obviously a good problem to have. Also that lineup that is starting tomorrow is supposed to be the norm against right handed pitchers this year according to the score. I personally like Carl in the 3 spot over Dye against rhp, jmo.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) Anyone think the Braves will win the division again? Even though I don't think they will, it wouldn't surpise me if they did once again. I do. I think Florida is the best team in the division but I think Atlanta will win it. Until they lose I will never pick against Atlanta again, I've done that the past few years and they just keep winning.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) I menat depleted in a relative way. We are a mid farm system. I think the big problemis that we don't have a guy that is major league ready that is a star waiting to happen. Sweeney,Anderson and Bmac could be there by 06, and it's going to take time to figure where Allen, Lucy,Gio , Lumsden and Fields go. One thing is for sure in the business of prospects: Nothing is a given Fair enough. I agree with what you said, though I guess Bmac and Anderson could be ready some time this year but hopefully we won't have to rush them.

No complaints from me at all, I just think all this depleted farm system stuff needs to be put to rest.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) This is starting to sound like a Jason Giambi type situation. I hope they figure this out pretty quickly. That's the exact same thing I was thinking.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 10:16 PM) You guys are right, lets blame injuries instead of the real problems.. it is easier that way You got owned, so you try to flip the topic and not answer Dbaho's question.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) awesome pic. a bmac wallpaper will be coming sometime this weekend... Sweet. Hey goldy, is that Fields pic good enough to do something with Bmac and Josh?? That would be pretty cool if that is a good enough pic.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 06:33 PM) SIU as a #6 seed against Minnesota! Wow! I love the Salukis, but for some reason imagined them as a 8 or 9. I look through those bracketology things every week and atleast to me, I don't think there is going to be as many upsets in the first round as usual this year. A lot of these mid majors who use to be 11's and 12's are now 6's and 7's such as SIU and Pacific.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) Will someone please get Brandon something to eat.

Absolutely awesome of these guys to help out the site, do interviews, etc. I wish all of them the best of luck this upcoming season and throughout their careers.

The only thing that bothers me about these things is when writers or the analysts don't do their homework. For instance when Neyer wrote about the least improved teams and didn't mention the Sox picking up Dye and blamed it on one of his "guys." Do your job and do your fricken hw, other then that I could care less what these guys opinions are.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) Sorry I don't bye the injuries as the reason, Both the Twins and ANgels had injuries last year and still were able to make it to the playoffs. Yeah, except neither of those teams lost their two best players.

QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) Cannot disagree with this viewpoint. Both sides should zip it, and move on. I know the papers need something to write about, but this whole thing has been beaten to death. I agree Jim but this is ozzie so he's never going to be able to keep his mouth shut. He was obviously asked about Maggs comments and just had enough. I know two wrongs don't make a right but in this instance I have no problem with Ozzie shooting back at Maggs. I do agree though, lets just beat maggs ass on the field.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 27, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) Agreed, it took a while for me to notice the 11, but it is the first thing I see when it see the logo. I never noticed it either until I went to this basketball camp a few years back and the guy who ran the camp pointed it out to everyone and now it's definitely the first thing I notice. And I 2nd wite's response, FedEx has a hidden logo?
