Full Name: Christian Marrero Born: 07/30/1986 Birthplace: Miami, FL College: Broward CC, FL Height: 6' 1" Weight: 185 Bats: L Throws: L Signed as a free agent June 2006. Career Stats linky: http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=marrer001chr Current stats: .325BA, in his last 10 = .206, 5 runs scored.....so he is in a swoon after the hot start.

Ummmmm.....isn't this an AAP for another over-hyped Yankee prospect that the Sox got suckered into, instead of a Wise/Anderson/anyone else conversation???

Last ten games he has been hitting .250 with 3 runs scored and 2 RBI's.....nothing to rave about. Currently hitting .252 @ AAA Charlotte

RIP Mr. Daly.

I'm "watching" this on Gameday. I was thinking why Richard kept trying to pick off Olivo at 1b....and then what happens but Olivo gets picked off! Nice inning by Richard.

I was about to jump on those Ryan bashers until I compared the stats to Ryan against Pedro, Koufax, et al... And then I stopped thinking about it because average-wise, Ryan per 9 innings numbers are lower than Pedro, RJ and Koufax. Look, Ryan is a Fireballer, pure and simple. Pedro can throw fireballs with command. Koufax did it with style. Big Unit just intimidates and dominates. Each pitcher had their own unique style to it. Ryan did it with over 5K Ks over two and a half decades, which will never happen again. That's why he gets my vote as one of the top 10 pitchers who ever threw from the rubber. But those $@%^#$^#$%^# at BSPN who compares Grienke to a young Ryan are smoking on the Hype peote again.

His confidence seems shot right now, but it can just take a few games to get him going.

understood...

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 06:31 PM) Beckham at it already. Double, run. 3-0 B'ham. E6 on Beckham. Routine play. Bobbled. Third error in his 6th game. Better start a new thread about Becks needing a new glove!!!

Didn't see a thread for this yet, soooo....... Living here in Austin TX, there are some good players this year in the Big 12. Here's one to look at: 1b Brandon Belt for UT. Link: http://www.texassports.com/sports/m-basebl..._brandon00.html Has a closed-stance that you rarely see. Sweet swing, has some power potential. Maybe we can start posting prospectives for the White Sox in this year's draft.........

No new news on Nevin according to Google, et al. Since the surgery was sometime late last year, would he be ready for any Winter Ball 2009???

Remember how the AP haters just ate him to death during his draft, in Soxtalk's thread??? Man, how times have changed. Good to see AP getting it done in the A.

Nice piece of pitching. ON the outside, and a fastball. Nice.

C'mon Doc Oc....

two down...

Now, I don't want to take in all the credit, but... I just got home and turned on the TV when the bases were loaded. Yep.

Texsox, Glad to hear you guys down the street are "OK"... We got plenty of rain here in Luling, about an inch and a half. Most of my family's 3 acres were flooded but those have now been absorbed in our dry soil... San Antonio received plenty of rain, as did the Hill Country. It didn't really come down in Austin until around 1pm yesterday.

Size 8, sometimes, 8 1/4 if I need a haircut. What size do you wear? 7 5/8ths, and I'm bald...shave my head.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 09:38 PM) worth 300M, what would you do at first to make sure nobody knew who you were, and what would you buy? Thought about this while posting in the gamethread today. I'll share mine a little later. "I would very much like to go to Montana..." I'd buy some 1000 acres of land, buy some horses for the Ms., and build our family a sweet log cabin somewhere. Couple of 4x4s..... Also would give a nice size contribution to my congregation for the worldwide work that they do.

How about that Sexy Rexy sign from Kissing Suzy Kobler.com?
