QUOTE (Lillian @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 08:12 AM) If this is representative of how Micah turns double plays, I don't want to see him at second: http://m.mlb.com/video/v43049883/cwsoak-sa...-vs-as/?cid=cws He makes several plays on this clip, but the one that caught my attention was the double play. The play starts at :25, and demonstrates his foot work at the bag, and a not very pretty throwing motion. He'll have to do better than that Slow runner...but he shouldn't have been so lazy mechanically, bad habit to get into. And he's left-handed, c'mon!

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 8, 2015 -> 10:58 PM) ? Maybe unearned?

http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/nate-j...x-recovery-plan Having both Crain AND Jones back would be too much to expect but just one could make a huge difference.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 8, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) Interview with Samardzija... https://soundcloud.com/mlbnetworkradio/jeff...ve-put-together If they announce a contract extension before November, I'll be surprised. I just want 33 starts and 230 innings and hopefully a championship, then what will be will be. Even then, the Royals were quickly ready to move on from Shields.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 8, 2015 -> 05:34 PM) Webb may not want to walk guys. He probably doesn't want to wear a Knights uniform on April 4. Especially with Albers, Crain (future presence), Penny, etc., pushing him now.

Trayce Thompson with two hits as well.

Watched the Hawkins video....more of an inside out swing on the outside half of the plate, went with it to RF instead of pulling off, which is nice to see. Progress.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Mar 8, 2015 -> 03:33 PM) As far as stuff goes, he probably is ready but he's not ready as far as endurance is concerned, at least not as a starter on a potential playoff contender. Carlos still needs to build up to 33 starts. Let Carlos have his innings as a starter in Charlotte and if he's needed, he's just a phone call away. Maybe the Sox could use him in the pen for the stretch run. 23-27 would be a pretty decent guess....depending on accumulated innings (140-160) and pitch counts, obviously.

Hawkins 4/9 so far. Was fooled on a pitch and dunked in an rbi single on a ball off the end of his bat. Brantly serving notice that he won't disappear easily...

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 8, 2015 -> 12:34 PM) For me it comes down to if Herm and his staff are OK with it as well as Coop. See Hoffman, Fedde, Aiken, etc. There were lots of concerns guys like Gio and Stroman were too small or slight of stature to starters...or about consistency of delivery, mechanics, pitchability...high stress vs. low stress motions.

Super 2 status reached, etc.

One thing Viciedo departing has accomplished is providing Hawkins (and not Mitchell or Danks) a lot more at-bats with the big league club. Please let Montas also demonstrate what he can do, Coop...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 8, 2015 -> 07:24 AM) If OSU beats Wisconsin, Iowa gets the double bye 4 seed.there is some stuff with NU gets a bye with a Nebraska and Minnesota loss IIRC. Not counting on that happening even if Russell goes off for 40. Just want shots at Purdue and Wisky again...Aaron White was injured, it was on the road and they still had a good opportunity to win in the final minute and it got away.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Mar 8, 2015 -> 08:16 AM) I couldn't believe the fashion in which he got taken down...then again, you had the feeling he was never going to get to Stanfield. Somehow, I thought they were going to ultimately indict and apprehend the two Greeks at the very top of the food chain...never happened.

Would rather throw $30-$40 million at Alvares...lets just put it this way, you always bet on three of those young possible studs in their twenties compared to a guy already in his thirties getting $100 million plus. That said, the presence of Montas and another top ten pick in a draft loaded with collegiate pitchers mitigates the pressing need, at least somewhat.

3:05 CST Radio but delayed tv A's are off to a scintillating 4-0 start, Sox losers of three consecutive. Drew Pomeranz starting.

http://www.thegoodphight.com/2015/2/13/803...-yadier-alvarez You'd have to guess Alvarez (comps to Pedro and Ramon Martinez) will get at least $20-30 million x two as well...same situation as Moncada, under 23. http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...nt-sign-july-2/ Since Alvares won't be eligible until July 2nd, the Angels Rays Red Sox Yankees and DBacks are already out of the running. Still leaves the Padres Dodgers Giants Cubs Rangers Mariners Cardinals Phillies, etc. Sounds very similar to Montas.

The wire one of the best tv series in history....imo. Just 10 years late to the party, ha.

Purdue Indiana and Illinois with virtually identical rpi numbers in the high 50s. http://hawkeyenation.com/basketball/b1g-to...d-possibilities B10 tourney seeding possibilities Indiana/Minnesota and Illinois/mi with the latter winner getting the Badgers. Ind would face MD...if they could pull out of their slide. Purdue with the double bye as a 4. As an Iowa fan, it would be great to get one more shot at the Badgers the way we're playing currently. The first two were blowouts.

Veteran p Chris Young signs with the Royals as rotation/front end of the bullpen insurance policy. Looks like lhr Tim Collins will be undergoing TJ surgery.

Paulo Orlando just homered for KC to add insult to injury, and Alex Rios with his 3rd homer after four in all of 2014. On the plus side, Avisail es en fuego

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Mar 7, 2015 -> 02:52 PM) I watching it in my laptop as well, it was the only thing it works on. Putnam getting hit HARD right now Now joined by Surkamp among the bruised and battered. Time will quickly tell if Putnam was a one year wonder. It wouldn't shock anyone, certainly. You know its bad when Scott Carroll is trying to bail you out, regardless of the circumstances.
