Does he have options left? If he does and it doesn't cost much, it's a fine pick up.

Revolution also out.

You want a real RF. You. Are. NOT. A. White Sox. Fan.

OK Tony. Almost daily, I am reminded why I was so glad Hawk fired him.

And that is a fair point.

Here's the thing, when Vaughn plays 1B, he dives for balls. Diving on grass, especially the grass in a major league park if you walk on it, is a lot softer than diving on the dirt. Whether he should play RF is a good question, I just think the injury wasn't based on his inexperience as much as it was just unlucky. Looks like they dodged a bullet.

Micker probably just made the opening day roster. If he makes the opening day line up, I am calling 3 k's and a long one.

Why hurt yourself in a regular season game.

It would be funny to see the reaction in a gamethread if Robert was running after a ball, looked like he had a decent shot, but pulled up so he wouldn't get hurt. I doubt it would be positive.

If you recall in spring training 2005, it was thought Buehrle broke his foot and was going to miss significant time. Another exam, however, revealed he was fine, and he won on Opening Day 1-0. Perhaps the luck has returned.

For the record, I was first in with hip pointer. If you guys need any other inside info, just remember, I am not Steve Cishek.

That's what I was thinking when they didn't have an answer yet. The only thing that may save it, is they just want to make sure, but it's not looking good for a quick recovery.

Good thing they agreed before Vaughn got hurt, becuase if he's out a while, there is nothing Tony would have loved more than penciling in Albert in the 4 hole.

JR's nightmare. Of all positions needing a replacement. If TA got hurt, getting a decent SS now would be tough. Pretty much the same with any other position . But not RF.

That is exactly how it went down with me when I had a hip pointer. It was almost a delayed reaction like when you stub your toe and it takes a couple of seconds to hurt. But if all he had was a hip pointer, we would most likely know by now.

Has anyone had any luck with Brooks or Reifert to get the ball rolling to send this guy packing?

It's a freak injury. Maybe he shouldn't be out in RF, but he played a lot of OF last year. He prepared this winter to play the OF. So it's not like they just threw him out there yesterday to see what he can do. Sometimes bad things just happen.

I guess bald jokes can only be directed at men. I didn't watch but saw the video. I've heard better bald jokes in my day, but Will was laughing until he got a look at the boss. Defending her is noble, but not in that way. He should have gone to jail. Rock refused to press charges but why should he have to, the incident is there for everyone to see.

Probably not a good sign there wasn't a more clear update. Must be something bad, just waiting to determine how bad.

I had a similar landing playing football with my friends many years ago. I had a hip pointer. I was OK in a few days. I didn't have a cart, but would have loved one.

In Dusty we trusty.

Might want to recheck what I wrote. Also spring training or not, 10 straight strikeouts sets off an alarm or 2. If the Dodgers don't think they can get him fixed, I don't like the White Sox odds. If the Dodgers made him available for Kimbrel, I would be leery. I don't think they will. I think they will go down with the Bellinger ship if it sinks.

IMO, if the Dodgers are ready to dump Bellinger, the odds of the Sox fixing him are long.

Why would anyone expect Kimbrel to be in mid season form his first outing of spring training. I get that he has to go, but sucking during spring training isn’t anything new to him. Hendriks threw 94 his first outing. Every year spring training is taken way more seriously than it should.

I know Tony was part of the VV acquisition. I guess KW and RH must have been busy picking up JRs dry cleaning and lunch and missed Tony running the DBacks into the ground.
