QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) Is DeAza still excelling with the O's? Why do players do so well when they LEAVE Chicago?? Rios had eight RBIs when he got hurt the other day, etc. Eaton needs to get his head out or he'll lose his leadoff spot. He isn't hitting. I did see him get picked off the other day.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 02:42 PM) Absolutely. Dude's in over his head. Pretty much gets all the details wrong. The necessary change won't be forthcoming anytime soon. A few too many years of Ozzie made the FO a little nuts with the manager's role. I think they're still just happy to be working with someone that they like. Need to aim higher, and outside the "family " preferably. Won't happen til 2017 earliest. About that time Paul Konerko should be ready for his next job...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 02:16 PM) Cabrera at least made solid contact....Jose Ramirez is just a beast at SS. Along with Iglesias, Escobar and Santana, four nice-looking young talents in the AL Central. That was a huge play. It should have been first and third with a run in.

Abreu couldn't pick him up at all.

Ugh. Well now it is up to your three best hitters.

Indians lose the challenge. Tying run on first.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:50 PM) Maybe Putnam doesn't totally suck this year... He'll be fine in the middle relief role.

keithlaw ‏@keithlaw 57s57 seconds ago Duke RHP Mike Matuella had successful TJ surgery yesterday, performed by Dr. Andrews. Still a likely top 15 pick this June.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:44 PM) why limit it? Can we get back to the game? Five years seems like a pretty reasonable time frame. Unless you want to go back and do more detailing, I am declaring this myth busted.

Zach Putnam.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:42 PM) I gave the link. Feel free to read up on it. I did. I saw one guy in five years.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) yes If Rodon is what we all hope he is he'll sign like Sale did After seeing how contentious his draft signing was, I see no good reason to believe that.

Tying run is now at the plate.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:21 PM) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Boras I see one from now clear back to 2011.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) Can you name a couple? Yeah, I can't think of any of the top end guys who have done that.

South Side Sox ‏@SouthSideSox 1m1 minute ago White Sox relievers have now struck out the side in 1-2-3 innings twice as many times as they did all of last year.

Christopher Kamka ‏@ckamka 4m4 minutes ago The last 5 times a #WhiteSox player took 3 walks in a game: all Adams. LaRoche, Dunn, Eaton, Dunn, Dunn

QUOTE (brett05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) Seriously, research what Boras quality clients do instead of believing in the myth OK, I'll bite. What do they do.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 12:52 PM) 4 3. They just switched one of them to a base hit.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 12:54 PM) Franklin Reyes Got some Alfonzo Soriano in that swing.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 12:17 PM) He didn't swing, and he struck out. He gave himself the first two strikes by swinging at balls no where near the zone.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) TCQ? The Carlos Quentin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Quentin

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 09:50 AM) So then why was he brought in again? It wasn't to enlighten the masses with knowledge so they can be smarter at base-running apparently. Specific technique and reads are different from overall philosophy on base running.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 10:15 AM) I still don't think paying for a closer is the best idea, but in this case it was the right move. Robertson is legit and for some reason the Sox have been unable to find any bullpen arms out of their minor leagues for the past few seasons, so they had to pay up. Yeah, the Sox don't usual do this, but in this case, they needed some back end bullpen help badly if they had a chance at doing anything this year. Last year the starters had to pitch 9 inning games. This year they need to go 6 or 7.
