QUOTE (Cubano @ Mar 7, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) Was Guillen watching? After 1 or 2 games, he started saying his defense is subpar and this and that. He was just preparing the kid for the news about being sent to the minors. This happens not only to Viciedo. It happens every year to many players. When you have minor league options or you are the first one to arrive, usually you are send down. It is time to get something in return for all the time and money the Sox have spent in Fields. Viciedo's problem right now is that Fields is outplaying him offensively, Dayan needs to pick it up a bit if he wants to stand a chance I like what I've seen from Dayan, he can definitely play that position adequately

i'm pretty much sick of watching konerko play baseball

MacD isn't even close on some of these pitches, 2-3 feet off the plate, AJ lunging all over

i think hitters can tell what a pitch is going to be (pitch type and location) out of macdougals hand, which makes it pretty easy to rake off of him

lmao macdougal 1-0 tex

konerko is a f***ing sloth

clayton isn't impressing me all that much

uh Dayan can play 3rd.

NICE PLAY DAYAN

lol, watching the rangers broadcast, they're advertising ticket plans on this commercial "See games against the Yankees and Red Sox!" Way to bow down to the man, Rangers. Idiots

owens is awesome, if you dont think so, find another team etc etc.

off-topic but when does gavin floyd pitch again?? i haven't seen a single game where he started

dayan gets sawed off, his swing was awesome though, nice technique going where the ball was pitched

unreal gordon, that was the best at-bat of the spring that i've seen

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:16 PM) Josh is tearing the cover off the ball. He's looked like a very good baseball player thus far this spring. i liked his swing in that at-bat, he wasn't loading up, it was a nice compact swing, something i don't remember seeing from josh much in 2007

nice job josh, good piece of hitting right there, short and quick swing

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:13 PM) How much can you judge based on people's performance this early in ST? i doubt he's going off spring training to make that assessment, more likely it's just reassuring what he and a lot of us here have already heard from scouts and seen from beckham already

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:09 PM) Kroeger with a bit of a slipup, but Slayer really wants to make the roster. did anyone see cowley's twitter yesterday? curious why that would be, there's plenty of reasons why but i'm curious as to what their reason is

QUOTE (tommy @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 02:56 PM) Is this considered an official ST game? Will the stats count with all the other ST games? no

thanks flavum, i wasn't aware of the different webcasts, sweet... get to watch today's game

anyone know if there will be a video or audio feed for this game? i'm guessing not, judging by this page

during the dodgers/sox broadcast, their PBP/Color guys said "Viciedo will start the season in Double-A Birmingham or Triple-A Charlotte" maybe they heard something official and accidentally leaked this? i dont know, maybe they were talking out of their ass

QUOTE (Cubano @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 07:05 PM) I only watched the first game vs Kuroda and Milton not today's game vs the same guys. I am at work. Viciedo had not played for a long time before ST. I wished he had played a few games in the D.R. winter league like Alexei did. How did he look like today with the bat? Was he swinging at balls way out of the strike zone? His page in WS.com has nothing. I have not seen his two HRs. I only saw two of his atbats, in one it was a 3-pitch strikeout, swinging at some breaking balls away, the other was a flyout i believe his defense looked pretty good today, very strong arm at 3b

Your 2009 Centerfielder for the Chicago White Sox, Joshhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kroeger!

QUOTE (Cowch @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 02:57 PM) What a play Dayan! Why do people beat up his D?! how did you see the play?
