I hate soxtalkers who read into an innocuous comment, but here I go to see if it's fun to do Robin at the end of that interview--when asked what has been surprising for him-- said that the job has been time consuming Hawk: "how bout we ask you again in the middle of the season" In two years Robin will quit and decide he'd like to do something else

Former 1st round pick from 2004, went three spots after Fields. Maybe a KW-finally-gets-his-guy situation if back then he had coveted both players

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) UHHHHGGGGHHHH. I don't CARE what he's doing in Spring Training. He's proven he can't get it done in the bigs. Some players look great and ST and it doesn't translate to the regular season. He is one of them. Who in this race for the bullpen spots should have a sense of entitlement over someone like Bruney? Several spots are open for a reason......

Will we likely not see Trayce bat?

Great bunt Mitchell 3run HR Escobar

Melton ever entertained by unAmerican names

whoa, i just came in here to post "yawn" but it's already been done

But does it matter that much to "be on the same page" with an advisor whose role never really matters that much in the grand scheme of things? Rudy Jaramillo hey lets pay him a ton, hey lets go on and on about how awful Greg Walker is. That'll all make us feel good about our s*** talent.

This will sound greedy, but I just refuse to accept that it has to be "once in a lifetime" I know the playoffs are chaotic, but now especially with the changes being made...we should expect to be in them. With more frequency than has been the case as of late. We spend most years and don't have enough to show for it (b/c of destroyed farm system and problems in the office and dugout).

What time tomorrow is MLB Network showing the Sox? It's on delay, right?

When he was good at baseball, he was thought of as having one of the most down-to-earth, relaxed personalities in sports

It's nice but for an organization so in need, boom-or-bust has dire consequences. You need this guy to be good. Unless the wallet is going to open back up nice and wide 2014 on.

If you heard the golf was replacing some other negative things, you'd be all for it. Lets not pretend to know everyone's personal life, motives. We're all just making guesses at that sort of thing. Ultimately it's pointless.

The best time to be a fan is when the team is about to be (possibly) really good. If we're at that point at the end of the year... no matter the record, that's a huge step forward.

I looked at myself in the mirror this morning, and I'm here to report that there's no doubt: I'm legit.

There's no reason to be upset about us potentially being bad. If you know what's good for the organization, and are a fairly calm person, you can spend the year enjoying things for what they're worth. A year like this is has been overdue in order to maintain the talent in our system.

Stop overvaluing athleticism. Jared Mitchell, Keenyn Walker, now Herm Schneider. Enough- all of you.

Quick note... apparently Metropolitan Brewing will have their Krankshaft (a Kolsch) available at US Cellular next year. If you haven't tried it, by all means check out this local product (brewed in Andersonville). Kolsch=ideal for summer, in a way it's kind of between ale and lager. perhaps ideal for someone kind of on the fence about either

QUOTE (daggins @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 04:38 PM) But not as exciting as the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. No, naturally Though didn't KW once break a clubhouse table? That's WWE-like..

Still have to play the games. Sure, things look dim. But an off-the-map young guy coming in and having a big year, it's not out of the question. We might not be taken seriously as contenders, but if our youth produces with this chance its been given...things could be a lot more exciting. Even more exciting than hearing managers and GMs rant and rave on a mic, if you can believe that.

I think everyone knows he's good enough to start on a roster this bad. But 2012 will grant Viciedo and De Aza a ton plate appearances. Regardless of performance, frankly. The platoon with Rios makes sense, even though Alex getting on track also would be a greater victory for the organization, for the hopes of getting out of the later years' $$ with a trade.

QUOTE (Cali @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 01:02 PM) I still haven't backed off my thoughts the 2012 Sox could be a 95 loss team. That is a bold, full of courage stance

Lillibridge could start at 2b for this team. Build up his value that way for half a year and maybe he's traded, maybe he just sticks here as cheap labor. While Beckham's defense could entice teams, I just don't see us trading him anytime soon. Once you held onto him during AGon negotiations, you pretty much anchored yourself to him. Trading him now for a prospect would be an admission of failure. So you can experiment with Lilli since he's been trending upwards. It doesn't hurt you to sit Gordon. You could say it hurts Gordon's development, but how long do we want to say that? Sample sizes are growing.
