QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 01:25 AM) Nah they are actually good prospects... He is talking about making them become crap prospects. Well he did say following our minor league talent. I mean, those two are gone..Willie gets a hold of you and you're traded.

He's good.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) I think I'm the kiss of death when it comes to following our minor league talent. I'm going to have to give that title to willie who had Chris Young and Gio as his aap's last year.

Grey.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 11:42 PM) He was actually given one batter to prove himself in his supposed LOOGY role, and recorded a blown save. That was enough for Ozzie to deem his new role was only to pitch if we were winning or losing by more than three runs. To continue using him in these situations doesn't let him prove much and it's really unecessary for him to be on the team. He should be sent down so he can develop to a point where hopefully he'll be more useful to the team in the future, because we have our choice of other arms to log innings in games that are almost in the books. Ok, so you give him one batter against a top 5 hitter in the american league. 3.2 innings isn't going to cut it, he has some talent and if he throws strikes he'll be fine.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 10:50 PM) I think Rowand44 said this. It seems like the Twins' offense really hasn't improved much since last season. Yep, that's me and two games isn't going to change my mind. Their pitching staff is much better than Cleveland's and as far as their offense not improving, they've had their 1-2 hitters on the bench this series. Hopefully I'm wrong and hopefully the Twins suck but if there is a team that can beat us in the division I believe it's going to be Minny, not the Tribe.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 10:15 PM) I love the Royals. They now have a win against some other team than the White Sox.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 09:46 PM) Difference: Podsednik, proven major league player, who has made an all-star team and competed on a team which won the World Series. Logan, really hasn't even done anything worthwile in professional baseball besides log an impressive era in meaningless spring training games. If he wasn't lefthanded, he wouldn't even be in baseball. Well Boone hasn't had the chance to prove himself and won't if you give him 3.2 whole innings to prove himself. The guy has the stuff and the motion to be a successful reliever in this league.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=967921 heh I like this part. From Jeckle...

The guy has given up 1 whole run. He couldn't find the strikezone today but this is the first time including spring training that, that has happened. If he can't throw strikes you guys are all right..he's useless but if he can continue to pound the strike zone, then he'll be a fine loogy.

QUOTE(Guillen'sGuy @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) Get the kid some work. Not that big of a deal in my mind. The thing is everyone in the pen needs some work and it might just get worse for the pen as the season goes on(meaning our starters are going to eat up more innings). In this situation it'd be nice to get Matt or Cliff in there. Oh well, when this is the only thing to complain about, life is good.

Why Bobby? Yo no comprendo.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Ok Ozzie...now you can put in Boone. That would be quite the task at this point.

That boy is good.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 07:44 PM) I'd rather see if McCarthy can get us to the 9th inning with a big lead, and then bring in Thornton. If you're going to bring McCarthy in, might as well take advantage of it. It's more the fact that I don't like him pitching 2 innings every time he's out there. I know he's got the stamina to do it but he's in a new situation this year and we don't need him getting worn down, down the stretch.

I would like to say that I hate having Brandon in right now. I don't like the fact that he's working in 2 innings every darn game he's in. Let Thornton pitch, it's been a while.

Yay brian.

Watch BA get to Liriano. He just likes to hit the up and coming studs.

That a boy Joe, just make contact against this guy and try to get lucky. Kind of like that.

This is the first time Boone has had problems throwing strikes including spring training. If he can throw strikes he'll be fine, if he doesnt he's not going to be good, it's that simple. Got to give him a few more outings before you send him packing.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 07:26 PM) how close was that to being a grand slam? Gameday showed the dot on the warning track. Close.

Ok, heart needs to be re-started.
