In recent news, Viciedo will play 1B during most spring. Rios is resting a shore shoulder, nothing major but will be mostly DH'ing during the first few games. Danks brothers together in the same lineup for the first time since high school in 2003. Lineup for tomorrow: Pierre Beckham AJ Jones Teahen Ramirez Kotsay Viciedo Danks Danks

I'm sorry too, it was just too good of a occasion to pass up.

From Scott Merkin:

I don't know how true those rumors are but here is a random tweet from Cowley:

Dude I was reading that on my phone and I was like WTF where they thinking with this photo ?

InsideTheSox twitter

I didn't realize this story will blow up everywhere espn/mlb.com etc, and when exactly was Peavy talking to Kenny about Adrian? M

I was just making a point that maybe the Sox were trying to swing the deal, while some beat writers claimed it was not true and made up. (If it was already established somewhere in this thread, excuse me I don't want to go back and read 76 pages.)

Jake Peavy tries selling Adrian Gonzalez to Kenny Williams. Guess what Cowley, maybe there was some truth to it after all.

AJ's contract is up, do we resign him on some kind of 50/50 deal with Flowers, and when one is catching the other one is DH'ing?

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 03:04 PM) I agree, he's not $7M good, he's a bad contract. But so is Kotsay, and Overbay's a better fit than anyone left out there. If we either swapped Kotsay for him and/or offered the Jays a couple halfway decent prospects to eat salary, then we'd pretty much replace Damon at less than we offered Damon. That might not give us a lot of wiggle room, but a couple million extra could go a long ways toward a midseason acquisition, so we wouldn't be shooting our wad. How is Kotsay a bad contract? Wasn't he the only one productive for a couple of weeks last year?

Can I still join a league, and I'm also rather new to this? (did one last year and thanks to some advice from knightni pretty much ran away with my division) I still consider myself fairly new to this so probably regular league not keeper.

From Merkin:

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) Dude. Do you even try? http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?d...TrUrl=Translate I speak another language myself but what I think what I said came off the wrong way.. I bet most of his 'followers' are people in USA not in Venezuela, I use twitter on my phone and I'm not going to translate every thing that Ozzie says in Spanish. What it seems like to me is that his kid kinda forced twitter on him, I don't really picture Ozzie to be that tech savvy and while everyone is expecting some good stuff it seems like he is trying too hard right now. Does anyone else feel this way? He already said he won't be talking about White Sox but Ozzie is the best when he blows up on the team or throws a player under a bus, if that won't happen I just don't think it will be that entertaining. Of course I make the choice of following him or not, I'm just saying.

So a lot of huss and puff about nothing, I hope Ozzie tweets in English or I'm out.

Ozzie confirms it is him behind the feed, his sons only helped to set up the account.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:04 PM) remember when Andruw Jones was signed and the club said that they didn't view him as an everyday player? They don't he will be playing vs lefties only /teal

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Feb 22, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) at this point i'd rather stand pat than reach. it's my assumption that kw is watching the market closely with an eye towards making a deal if the projected need for another bat becomes a real one. I think that at this point no move will be made until the trade deadline, unless something like injury happens.

Merkin tweets: Ozzie had praise for Freddy Garcia and the way he looked throwing the ball today. Jenks talks to MLB.com about decision to give up alcohol. Here. Teahen on the White Sox attack: "I'm not sure it's saying a ton but it's the best offense I've been a part of at the big league level. Cowley tweets: Buehrle: "I still think they're making a mistake pitching me Opening Day. I've said all along Peavy is dominating."

I guess it is still raining in Glendale just like it was yesterday.

Can we merge this thread with the thread I created?

I didn't discuss this with anyone but I think it would be great to have one thread for all that happens in spring training. That way we don't have to venture in other threads, post your tweets, pics, blurbs, blogs, articles here if it has to do with Spring Training, there will be separate game threads I'm sure. I'm pretty pumped spring training is here officially, April 5 can't come soon enough. Rest you can find here.
