Pierre unable to put down a bunt. 1 out.

Nice inning for Danksy.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 29, 2010 -> 06:19 PM) Pierre, Beckham, Quentin, Konerko, Kotsay DH, Jones, Pierzynski, Teahen, Ramirez Danks starts. Is it me or Rios never starts with the 'most likely opening day' lineup ?

Wow dude, I don't know what to say, stay strong and I hope everything turns out good for you and your family.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Mar 28, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) So if the Sox go with 13 pitchers, how about they trade Jayson Nix to Detroit, who's looking for a second baseman? I'm sure KW could get a A or AA pitcher for him. Is Nix really gonna come back to haunt the Sox? Why would they want to go with 13 pitchers? I thought the issue was they wanted De Aza on the roster because of his spring and were considering 11 pitchers?

Is one of the games on CSN ?

86.

Brandon Allen sighting.

That HR was opposite field for Teahen, good for him!

Already half an episode wasted on telling us how Richard got on the island, but we already knew that..

Mark Teahen gets the ball over the first baseman, ruled E 3.

Eh, about to tune in.. Sox pitching going trough some spring training dead arm period?

Don't want to come in here acting ignorant, but can you guys point me somewhere that will explain what this reform does for average folks like myself?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) Because...even if his issue the last couple years was not being 100% healthy...he hasn't put up an .800 OPS since 2004, and has only done so 3 times in 13 career seasons. For a DH, that's just ugh. Now, you might fire back "But he's useful as a rolling DH as well and can play the OF, and an .800 OPS for a CF isn't that bad". Except, he's also been bad in CF since 2004 also. He might or might not be an average RF (he hasn't spent enough time there to judge), but his numbers argue he's basically a backup and should be treated as such. If he's getting only garbage time innings or playing every 3rd day to give someone a day off, ok, no one should have any reason to complain. Those are quality numbers for a backup 1b and backup corner OF. If he's getting 400-500 PA's, seeing time at DH, seeing time in the OF, like we keep being told he will, he never was a good enough player to justify that unless he was playing good defense, and he hasn't done that in 6+ years either. Hopefully Jones will become a full time DH/OF and Kotsay will be occasional backup at OF/1B/DH and everyone will be happy.

As far as hurting elbow goes, this thread and most of replies where posted before we learned about his elbow, FWIW.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) It is crazy that they are looking at Clayton as their #3 or #4 pitcher. Would you say that Padres got ripped of on that trade? If yes, would it make it harder for their GM to deal with Kenny in the future?

Has Flowers hit one ball hard this spring?

Daniel Hudson in to pitch.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) 491 miles. Point is prospects from the Padres organization are outplaying us.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) Check your geography. It just sounded good and SD being in Cali is definately close enough for me.

I know it's spring training but shouldn't we be putting some runs against a bunch of minor leaguers from the bay area?

I had a feeling this post was coming soon, well Kenny just said Mark changed his swing this offseason. Please go back to your old one asap.

Opposite field HR for Andruw, I hope he stays hot.

Kenny in the booth saying it's nice to talk about baseball and not 'other' things that were brought up recently. Kenny says right now Jones and Rios are both locked in and murdering the ball.
