Iguchi struck out 114 times last season. I hope he doesn't strike out more than that this season. Oftentimes, he was in a hole because he was taking pitches so Podsednik could steal. He won't have to do that this season if he's batting sixth.

It was reported on either ESPN1000 or The Score 670 that the Sox were looking at Troy Glaus and Hank Blalock if Konerko was to sign elsewhere. It does make some sense as Glaus was dealt this offseason.

The article says that Iguchi has been tinkering with his swing to shorten it and quicken his bat. He has a weird hitch in his swing where he almost double-clutches the bat before swinging.

He did -- Troy Glaus.

Javy just gave up an infield single to Carlos Lee and then issued a walk to start the 4th inning and gets yanked. Cubs' farmhand Federico Baez comes on in relief and promptly walks the first batter he faces. Bases juiced. No outs. Federico Baez with another walk to score Carlos Lee from 3rd base. 1 ER for Javy. Federico Baez gets a flyout and a DP to end the inning. Final line for Vazquez: 57 pitches, 3 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 K

Javy was pretty filthy in the 2nd inning but got a little wild in the 3rd. 3 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 2 K

They signed Grieve to help the Charlotte Knights like Chisoxfn said. They are sick of the Knights being perennial losers.

Great article.

Yep, there was a Tribune article on this... http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...ack=1&cset=true

Grieve can hit but if he can't play the outfield he's worthless to us. Borchard is a much better defender and can even play some CF.

I could see that happening but I could also see him having a sophomore slump. He should strikeout less because he won't have to take pitches to let Podsednik steal. Last season, he was in a hole oftentimes due to this. Yeah, I noticed that. Just a mistake I guess.

Recap | Box Score

Just curious but why don't people think that Jerry Owens can't or won't be a starter in the MLB. What does Podsednik do that Owens can't do? Or is it just that you guys don't think that Podsednik is worthy of a starting LF job?

Anderson needs to lay off the breaking crap low and in the dirt. Otherwise, he will have the same annoying weakness as Rowand.

I would like to hear BHAMBARONS weigh in on Sweeney's defense. I believe that poster goes to a ton of Barons games or something like that.

Good catch, I noticed that too. He was loafing around like he didn't even want to try to win the last outfield spot. Maybe he knew that he was headed for Charlotte regardless of his Spring Training results.

Check out this photo timeline of Bonds: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedi....1.exclude.html It's pretty obvious. I really don't need evidence when my own eyes tell me the truth.
