QUOTE (Allsox @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 05:32 PM) I wouldn't worry about it. We need the guy to be rock solid in the field, anything he gives at the plate is an added bonus outta the 9 hole. Ahh, 2006... EDIT: To clarify, I don't disagree with you, but I think I've heard/expressed that sentiment before.

Brian Wilson's MLB.com At-Bat picture is pretty epic.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 04:59 PM) Melton would have gotten the story straight. I can hear it now... "John Parvey looks like he's got some discomfort going on after that pitch. Oney Guihan comes out and takes the ball from him."

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) oooohhh. The cool version of Steve Urkel? Yup, that one! Stefan Gartrell = Stefan Urquelle.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 07:54 PM) Well, he got 2 hits off Felipe Paulino today, he is a major leaguer. His 3rd hit was off of Eric Stults, another major leaguer. He got a double off of Joe Martinez. He has 50 career innings, but is more of a AAAA guy I think. Got a hit off Jensen Lewis, who is a major leaguer. Another hit off of Jess Todd, who has 28 career innings. Those are from the past 2 games, so yeah, most hits were off of major league pitchers. What's more impressive to me than the hits is his ability to cover the whole plate, and square things up on a pretty regular basis. Of course spring training results are useless, but you can gain a little bit from watching people's form. Viciedo looks pretty smooth to me right now. Of course, I actually think he's best off in AAA right now. Not that he's got much to prove with his bat, but major leaguers will let him get himself out if he decides to swing at EVERYTHING, and plus he's got a couple of new positions to master.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 07:46 PM) Jaleal White? Stefan Urquelle! But yes.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) I personally dont think he needs regular playing time in AAA, I think he fits in at 3B, 1B, RF and LF and can play a few days a week. Personally, I think he needs a good amount of time in the outfield before we depend on him there at the ML level

Does anybody else think of this guy when they say Stefan Gartrell's name?

DAYMAN! Another gundown from right field!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 03:47 PM) Gonzo Trib hinted in an article today that the Angels may be looking at Teahen. Well then he'd better stop throwing balls away!! I kind of want room on the team for Viciedo; his bat is looking even sweeter this spring than in his callup last year.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 11:06 PM) Hey All, I don’t have much time, but I figured I’d pop in just to tell you what a great time I’m having out here in Arizona. Not a whole lot to share in terms of incite about the team as we’ve played some pretty inconsistent baseball. The good news is that other then Buehrle the majority of trouble has come from our young arms. I’ve had the chance to talk to a few of the guys, (nothing deep) told Josh Phegley that I was glad to see him in good health, told Mitchell pretty much the same thing, wished Brandon Hynick a happy birthday, and have had a couple hilarious exchanges with Brian Bruney who might be the coolest guy on the planet. I’ve managed to get autographs from Peavy, Phegley, Bruney, Mitchell and a couple of other guys who I’m blanking on at the moment and look forward to more in the next couple of days. I’ll end this brief little post on a somber note. The Cleaved Indians organization is a wasteland of sadness from top to bottom with a brief stop at Carlos Santana. That is all. By somber do you mean AWESOME?? Keep em weak!

OMG MELTON JUST CORRECTED HIMSELF AND SAID VICIEDO!!!!! At this point...why bother? okay NOW /dead horse I promise.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) Melton keeps saying "Yawn" when it was already pointed out that the kid is a relative of Robin Yount. I wonder if Melton is name deaf like my buddy is tone deaf. He claims not to be able to tell that the notes coming out of his mouth in no way resembles the song he's supposedly singing. Like, he just can't hear that there is a discrepancy at all.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) Yes, but we have 2 separate teams playing. Right. That makes me a happy panda.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 08:26 PM) 7 teams have scored 12 or more runs day. 15, 14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 12 Does that include us twice?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) It's not funny!!! He will be there at times during the season. If we aren't allowed to laugh, we'll end up crying. Like the Heat.

QUOTE (almagest @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) Why are there high school girls singing on this broadcast? Maybe because they can pronounce Viciedo? /dead horse

Holy crap.......why is this happening???

Viciedo's swing is lookin gooood, even on foul balls

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 07:29 PM) Awesome fielding by the Sox and een worse baserunning by the Indians, only to be topped by the camera work. Jeez, I think the cameraman was more asleep than the Cleveland runner. It's a perfect storm of spring training badness. If only the umpires had somehow blown a call, too.

We can all agree that, whoever it is, their first name ends with a "y" and their last name ends with an "s". That's it. P.S. I think Melton should do the announcing for MLB '12 for PS3

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 07:12 PM) Melton just mentioned that Andy Wilkins may get to play this game!! Then again, he could been referring to anyone. You mean Winky Fulkins?

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 07:05 PM) I wonder if Jordan Danks = Brian Anderson 2.0... I don't think they'll be trading Rios to make way for him anytime soon.

Man, that wind must be nuts. The left fielder looked like he was slipping on a cartoon banana peel.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) Usually if I have a radio on during Middays it is to the Danny Mac show. I had to turn it off as it was so awful. MacNeil kept trying to lead Cowley into a decent conversation, but he couldn't take a clue. It was horrible. Even a part talking about his bestest buddy in the whole wide world, AJ, came off as awkward and confusing. It's pretty bad. Unfortunately, my Sox addiction is so bad that I'd rather listen to bad Sox talk than no Sox talk at all.
