QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 04:24 PM) Awesome job with the Big Board! Is it confirmed that Ryan Buch is being moved to the bullpen? If so, any reason why? It seemed like he was really excelling as a starter last season, I was excited to see his progression this year. I'm just guessing as of right now, so it's possible he could start too. At this moment I'm just attempting to place the players where I think they'll likely be.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 06:53 AM) I'm sure they don't feel that way and neither does vegas... http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/odds I'm a bit surprised the steelers aren't favorites but it should be a close game within a TD either way I'm talking about the Refs getting involved.

Here's a link to my big board organizational projections. NorthSideSox72 said he would have a board up too. EDIT: April 7...Charlotte roster finally set, final update as minor league season begins. Interesting names not assigned including Kyle Bellamy. JPN366's 2011 Big Board 10.5 (Google Documents Public Link)

Jack LaLanne at 96. I was expecting him to go longer, disappointed.

I wonder how the Packers feel about already losing the Super Bowl.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 10:30 AM) He'll get that in time. I'm sure you know he slowly improved in that as he sat at AA and AAA. When he got to the bigs, he was facing guys with better levels of control, and it caught him off guard. True. His best tool is his bat, I think that's what the organization should focus his development on. Just my opinion though.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jan 18, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) I'm thinking big board update soon. I'll work on it starting Monday. I should have something ready by Tuesday at the latest.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) Bah, his hitting will come around, in fact he probably doesn't have that much to learn in Charlotte, it's the fact that we've spent 2 years and we still haven't gotten him used to a defensive position that bugs me. I know, but he does need to focus on plate discipline. Once he masters that, he will be scary.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 10:25 AM) There was really no other alternative save for trading him. Dayan is not a major league 3B. Never was. If you don't have Morel or even Teahen, then he would've done fine.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 10:23 AM) The fact that we're moving him around so often is starting to get frustrating. Well, there's nothing wrong with making him more versatile, but I see what you mean. I think it would be best for him to just DH in Charlotte in the interim to focus on refining his hitting.

Cheers! I'll be joining you in the 30 club in 6 weeks.

I think once Konerko's current deal is up, Viciedo will move back to first. He'll only be 25 then anyway.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 01:18 AM) Should have done this when he was with the Barons. In fact, I was pimpin that thought back then when I read Cubano's report about him playing there in Cuba (though sparingly) cause I loved what I read (and now seen) about his arm with average range. He has good range for the infield, actually too much. I saw him cut in front of the SS way too many times to take a grounder.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 22, 2011 -> 01:44 AM) Call me a dummy, but I thought he had potential at third. He does, but with Morel, he should move.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) Were you the one who said there was no chance he would ever move, and he is a 1B no matter what? I was trying to remember. 3B, 1B or DH.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 11:04 PM) http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...rtnerId=rss_cws BOOM. Well... f*** me then.

Jeremy Reed signed on with Milwaukee. Sorry, Gerry.

Take a death march through Babies R Us sometime.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 10:32 PM) All day, every day. For two weeks. I would love that. It would totally be like that Seinfeld episode about Kenny Rogers Roasters. No sleep, I'm going on no sleep.

Saline drops, suction bulbs, plenty of bottles, baby gates. Gerber corn puffs, they come in different flavors. My son loves the veggie dip flavor. It gives him Doritos breath.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 11:58 AM) What is interesting about it, I think, is that its Price (who has not really been a starter in the systems in recent years) and not Gonzalez, who was in camp last year. Jared knows the pitchers, so he can help.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) No kidding, the depth chart at catcher in the organization is totally confounding. I think I could even project the NRI list. Nevermind, the NRI list is out.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 08:49 AM) Please do, it should prompt some nice discussion. No kidding, the depth chart at catcher in the organization is totally confounding. I think I could even project the NRI list.

I'm thinking big board update soon.

Dayan has enough trouble tracking flyballs in the infield, he will not be a possibility in the outfield. I don't understand why people see that as an option. 3B, 1B or DH, that's it.
