QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) I don't think we've been misled at all. No one but the beat writers have ever said anything about this kid starting for the big club this year. Ozzie has said it's a competition for 3B, so no it isn't just the beat writers. edit: here's one quote from ozzie

Fields will be the teams 3B, this whole "Competition at 3B" is a facade to the fans, they're pretty much lying to us and Dayan

Viciedo hits one deep, way back, he looks up You can put it on the boaaaaaaaaaaaaaard, yes! 1-0 Sox

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 06:13 PM) Um, Hawk would be more likely to keep the nickname if he knew the root of it. Who knows if it's true or not, but I've heard an interesting origin story of Carlos Lee's nickname. Also, Hawk said one of the craziest things I've ever heard during a broadcast. It was during ST and he was still with Wimpy. It involved the camera being on two women in bikinis. If the internet existed then he would have been fired. And he said...?

Ex-yankee Nunez sighting

Anyone see Slayer as a possible leadoff guy when he hits the big leagues? He certainly has shown the tools from what I've seen and heard so far

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 04:04 PM) Becks could still be at short and Alexei could be in CF. Or slayer could in the OF, or at 3B, or at 2B if Getz plays well. Options. The (more specific) point I was alluding to was, in 2010 there will be a big name (Viciedo, Fields) or one of the current standing 2B (Lilli, Nix, Getz, /Betemit/) missing the team entirely We seem to have too much depth in the IF. Edit: This is assuming Konerko is still with the team next year. If he isn't, I could see Viciedo and Fields moving to 1B+DH and Beckham moving to 3B

Beckham steals 2nd. I want Beckham instead of Getz. Too bad it won't happen. Is it safe to assume that in 2010, 2B is pretty much cemented to Beckham and these guys playing the position this year won't even get a sniff next year?

BA GIDP. Awaiting 2 paragraph long response from Cowley.

sacrifice fly for wise (uh oh!) 3-0

scoreless first for gavin

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 02:18 PM) Cowley: Dayan Viciedo's first major-league at-bat? Ripped a hard single to left. Where are you seeing the updates? Mlb.com's box score hasn't shown anything yet.

this will be a slow game thread, no gameday audio or video or WSCR, nor any live updates of the game online

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 02:31 PM) The Indians/Giants game is currently being broadcast on the MLB Network if anyone wants to watch some baseball. Juan just grounded out to second. Ben Fransisco just gets picked off at 1st lol
