hahahahahha--Neifi Perez does something--anything--better than someone else--that is good stuff.

Sometimes I like to read the forum before posting news that happened yesterday.

I've dealt with an injury like this before, and it is something that can go from minor nuisance to big problem without proper rest and treatment. That said, with the world-class staff of the Sox, I don't think they will let that happen. Baseball players are prone to this sort of injury because of all the sudden bursts following inacivity. I think Dye just needs to get some more fluids in his body and make sure he's properly warmed up--maybe taking a few more minutes to stretch his lower body than usual.

LOL. Obviously I have Washburn on the mind.

Ozzie is officially on my s*** list now (He'll be on and off all season). He's started the year off on the wrong foot by a) not putting his foot in his mouth and B) making irrational decisions about the lineup and bullpen. I won't rehash them--I think we all know what I'm referring to--but the Oz needs to realize spring training doesn't mean squat, and that those stats should be thrown out the window when he's making decisions. He sat Gooch because he was 2-16 against Washburn? Come on.

For a bag of balls? LOL, you got my award for illogical post of the day.

That's just KW playing "bad cop" for the cameras. I still think he holds a grudge against Beane, and now says things like this just to spite Beane through the media. He knows what VORP is, he implies that he measures sabermetricians opinions on his staff very importantly, and VORP (or something similiar) is surely one of their metrics.

Going off of that, why did we just sign Contreras and JonG to long-term deals when their is no way in the world BMAC should not be pencilled into the rotation (I think this year) but next year at the freaking latest? BMAC is essentially untouchable in my mind. He still has plenty of time before arbitration, and he's ready to be an above average starter in MLB now. Imagine if he can fill out his frame a little and get that fastball up into the mid 90's--he's going to be a beast. His control was looking dominant at times last year, times during spring training, and now in his first outing in 2006. It's hard to be objective when dealing with a player like Brandon, but I think I'm being fairly reasonable in predicting ERA+ from him in the 125 range + 200 innnings next season. I just looked up his PECOTA, and they don't seem to liek him that much. Oh well.

Yep. Politte made some kind of crazy deal with the devil last year. Like I said earlier, he's a career of mediocrity that struck gold last year, I see him buried at the back end of the bullpen by midseason, but I won't matter that much.

Politte is going to struggle this year, and will be relegated to the back of the bullpen by mid-season. Despite this, this Sox won't miss him much with super long guy BMAC, super short guy Cotts, and a hopefully super closer Jenks in addition to their stable of starters.

Ah yes, the anonymous "out of town" scout sees BA one game and makes a proclamation. I agree with you though that BA is a good bet for alot of strikeouts, however, he's also a good bad to improve on Arow's terrible OPS. A 250/310/440 season is what I'm thinking for BA--and that will be a good upgrade from Arow of 2005 at the plate.

Good job BMAC--now start pouring!

THOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

f***ing midnight here in EST...

BMAC hasn't even started to warmup.

Singleton is f***ing terrible. The worst I've heard in a awile. Things won't be the same this year without Rooney.

This is pissing me off. Freaking weather.

Strained fat, out 2 to 3 weeks.

What school you go to Felix?

Well Joe could argue that the the speed of light is 3mph too, I just wouldn't take his word for it. Any update on the weather from our good people on the South Side? I really don't want to go to the bar (no cable at my house) if the game is going to be washed out.

TODAY IS THE DAY YOUR LIFE WILL SURELY CHANGE "And now, introducing your World Champion Chicago White Sox" Man, I wish Rooney was around to say that.

I hear the Cubs could use a guy like yourself as their PR guy.

Wait, didn't he have all winter to that? WTF did he do on his honeymoon...?

Ruh-roh--don't get me started on a Juan Piere/Podsednik relative value rant! I'll just say that I don't consider Pierre and Pods that useful of players. Pierre can play CF passably, so he's a usefull player, but Pods plays LF...

Fantasy production doesn't equal real world production, and with his Twins sleepers he usually prefaces it by saying, "well player X will drag down the Twins offense this year, but he'll help your fantasy team with 30 homers, etc." Yea, Aron's a Twinkies fan, but it's not like he's an obnoxious homer. That Morneu pick is a good one, scouts and computers have been hailing this guy for years, and he had a super slow start last year, and still finished pretty solid.
