glad i renewed my mlb.tv package

QUOTE (YASNY @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) Not to challenge you in any way, but I'd like to hear you elaborate on that as to why you're so excited. It could lead to some good conversation here too. mainly because, I have faith in Williams and his talent evaluation 2007 isn't happening again, this isn't a case of a massively injury-ridden team (at least not yet, crossing fingers) as long as our team stays healthy, I feel we will contend for the division edit: adding another, major, reason why I feel more excited this year. I feel this is the first time in a long while that the front office has taken a strong approach to eliminating the homerun - or - nothing offense that we've seen for so long if these players can perform both offensively and defensively (Owens/BA, Getz/Lillibridge/Nix, Fields/Viciedo), it will bring a better all-around style to the team, rather than the age-old one-dimensional, slow prodding nucleus that we're tired of watching every year

this is probably the most excited i've been following the sox, for a spring training ever

Jermaine was interviewed in the locker room yesterday Says he wants to finish his career in Chicago I hope we can sign him to DH next year, he's my favorite player on the team and he seems to be very emotionally attached to the white sox organization Hopefully we can work out a deal in the 2009-2010 offseason but I'm not holding my breath

Carrasco believes 2008 performance earned him spot in 2009 pen hmm..

I posted this in the regular spring thread but I guess I'll put it here as well Jesse Rogers saying, emphatically, Poreda will be in the Sox Bullpen in 2009

Jesse Rogers saying Poreda WILL BE in the bullpen in 2009. He was very emphatic about it, like he's heard something about it officially.

according to jesse rogers, Viciedo = 5'11 @ 225lbs currently

Contreras confirmed to start some games once ST starts

I wonder if Kenny realizes how f***ing lucky he is that our divisional rivals haven't done s*** this offseason either.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 12:56 AM) From what I saw in Birmingham last season, Aaron's not ready for primetime. He has a lot of work to do. He needs more seasoning, if he doesn't break camp with Chicago, I wouldn't be surprised if he wound up in Birmingham again for a few months. He's loaded with potential, but he did get hit hard a few times in AA in 2008. to my understanding, AA isn't really a competition league, it's more of a league where players are learning new things or having their mechanics slightly adjusted and new pitches learned/perfected, AAA is generally where your final talent resides in waiting someone correct me if i'm wrong can't really go by what happened to him in AA, as we all know he's been hard at work with his changeup, and has probably been throwing it as much as his fastball if not more than

Once i see poreda in spring training, it'll probably satisfy my appetite for wanting to see him pitch, enough to where I won't care if he spends 2009 in AAA (which is where I think he should be)

Sign and trade could save free-agents.

QUOTE (IamPabloOzuna @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 01:32 AM) Did anyone else see on CSN tonight that KW said contreras could be back in the rotation by opening day? he is apparently wayyy ahead of schedule and in really good shape. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=cws Poreda seems excited to show he's ready for the big-league club too

i thought putz went to the mets?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 11:36 AM) Trade Dye to which team? His contract isn't very cheap. Teams wanted dye this off-season, KW confirmed that much.

The only asterisk that needs to be placed is next to Bud Selig's name, for allowing that entire era to exist without stepping in and nipping it in the bud before it became what it is today. He seriously needs to be canned and replaced.
