A guy like Saladino is going to really benefit from having a guy like Jimmy Rollins around him on a daily basis. It is also really exiting that both Carlos Sanchez and Tyler Saladino could have left camp earning starting jobs. It shows the strides that our minor league system is making, especially with a guy like Tim Anderson who is just behind these guys.

QUOTE (Real @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) sale isn't starting in Oakland on OD? For Oakland, not the Sox.

another thought is with the 3 open 40 man spots, the Sox are looking to do some dumpster diving off of other teams cuts.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) He's like a version of what I thought beckham would end up being. Once I knew he wouldn't hit over .300 I hoped he'd be basically what Lawrie is. That is actually a pretty solid comp. Obviously it never happened, but that is about what the hope for Gordo was.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) Still wanting to do this? Is Rose now too much considering what went down? Russell is still just 19 right? I would chalk it up to boys will be boys and hope he learns from it. Rose and Russell are no where near each other in terms of salary. The Lakers would have to figure out a way to package up enough salary to make it work. The one salary that makes Rose and Russell work together in a deal is Roy Hibbert. Other than that it gets difficult because besides Kobe, the Lakers have no one else making over $7 million a year.

I think this is the year some of the first Latin American classes start to make some noise on the prospect lists.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 08:57 AM) Wish the Saul stuff was a tad more interesting but the Mike stuff is great. I think they are intentionally dragging out his downfall to make it all of the more understandable when he hits rock bottom and really finishes the transformation to Saul.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 08:56 AM) Hawk will be missed. I thought it was odd when they announced that he would only do road games this year. I would assume doing home games only would be easier for him? Perhaps it has something to do with golf or something to do with a farewell tour from opposing teams? Regardless, Hawk is the biggest White Sox cheerleader of all time. Most of the time I loved that with all of his unique Hawkisms, but the last 5 seasons or so it has been rough with lack of winning and the weird tension on air between him and Stone. Let's give Benetti a shot before we judge... Although I hope he stops his sarcasm shtick soon... That will approach will not go well the fan base. Just talk baseball, get excited when a big play happens and I'll be happy watching. Hawk lives in Granger Indiana. Google the drive if you have never heard of it. While it is counter-intuitive, it is probably easier for traveling while on the road and making one single trip to get to a destination, instead of making that drive every night of a home stand.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) Better Call Saul is so well done. I was watching the most recent episode (where we might have seen Saul Goodman emerging), and I was thinking how difficult it must be to come up with a origin story for a supporting character from another show. The writers, and Bob Odenkirk for that matter, so a great job developing this guy we knew as a sleazy, crooked lawyer. On a side note, I can't believe there are only three episodes left this season. Totally agree. Like I said earlier, we know what happens, and yet this is totally compelling television. I can't wait to see where they go with all of the story lines, even knowing where they go at the end of the day.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 01:35 AM) That seems odd doesn't it? I never knew that tidbit. I guess I'm just used to not even thinking about it with MLB players, so I never knew that testing system. All MLB items have to be negotiated with the union. The Commissioners office can impose these things on MiLB because they have no union. That is why MiLB testing has always been tougher.
