The Ginger Kid

QUOTE (Cali @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 10:55 AM) I'm a firm believer in having some personality in the clubhouse to keep it loose. I don't think Paulie et al agree with that. Carl, AJ, Uribe, Blum...seems like they had some genuine characters in the past and Paulie had no problem with that. If Swisher could've backed up his big personality with his play on the field, I think he would've been hugely popular, both with fans and players. For whatever reason, he just had a really bad year at the plate. Our bad luck.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 09:50 AM) Just saw this. I admit to being unreasonably excited about a February bullpen session. It might be the caffeine I'm mainlining. so true. I need to get a grip.

Sounds like Danks threw well in live BP today. Welcome news. A year of the old sub 4.00 ERA Johnny Danks would be sweet.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 06:37 AM) Joe Crede developed into a really solid bat by 2006, but then his back imploded. This. I think Crede was on track to become one of the premier 3b's in the league. We would have lost him of course, given that Boras was his agent. But he was definitely on track to stardom, imo.

tie game. I like Seth Lohman.

The Casio. Great call!

this 7th inning "take me out to the ballgame" is the best i've ever heard.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 10:48 AM) I don't see anything on twitter, at least not yet. Me either, but check out the tagline in this video and what Robin says. Couldn't tell if he was talking about Thornton but that's old news, right? Link

Anybody hear anything about Lindstrom feeling elbow pain?

BBTN report on the Sox... Link

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox White Sox to face Kershaw, Greinke and Bumgarner in their first 3 spring games. Will counter with Axelrod, Johnson and Santiago. #yikes

This is when I get the feeling Herm Schneider knows something we don't.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan Hahn views Gillaspie as complimentary player to Keppinger at third. Hits to all fields, good obp guy and "solid-average" defensively.

Pretty good article by Rosenthal... Don't overlook the Sox Wonder who the rival player was who said, "Who do they have that can be better than last year?”

Looks like he had a good season in 2011 at AAA. Little worse in 2012 Baseball Reference link

And the Lars Anderson experiment has ended. DFA

Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales Sox trade hard-throwing Jeff Soptic for left-handed hitting third baseman Conor Gillaspie

Good column on Flowers... Link

QUOTE (BlackJack @ Feb 21, 2013 -> 08:37 AM) Dan Plesac ‏@Plesac19 9:30 am in Az ....#white sox getting ready to start the day. Sox 30/30 airs tonight at 6:00pm est on @MLBNetwork And it will be 5 minutes of dragging out their prediction that "hey, never count out the white sox! but detroit will win the division by 12 games."

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 12:23 PM) Only team I'd take over is the Sox. Err, I'd take over on the Indians too. I still don't like that team but they've made quite a few improvements. Don't you think their pitching is pretty suspect?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 10:42 AM) he still has a hitch though. And it looks gimmicky. Like a guy who's grasping at straws to turn things around. Hope it works.

History of the White Sox on MLB this morning at 10am PST

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 18, 2013 -> 10:39 AM) Interesting... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/t...ng-projections/ Great read and excellent analysis. But I would hardly characterize Tomaso's article as an "attack."

hector santiago ‏@HecSantiago53 Live bp 11:30 everyone is here first full day time to get it going . White sox full squad spring training under way

QUOTE (MEANS @ Feb 15, 2013 -> 01:21 PM) Yup, My wife and I will be there on the 21st for the Brewers game. We go every year while we visit family. There's nothing like it.
