QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 04:20 PM) I totally see myself hating Belisario. Dude has crazy movement on his pitches. Same with Cleto.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) DeAza will be the LH bat next year. LOL

Awesome, now lets trade De Aza while his stock is the highest!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 02:32 PM) Saw that DP coming Maybe if Avi didn't swing down on everything, he could rip some linedrives or HR all over the yard. He makes hard contact, it's just always right in to the ground.

I don't recall the last time that Eaton got a basehit that wasn't a groundball up the middle. The guy is a f***ing machine.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) I'm guessing overall production goes down batting lefty (no more homers), but strikeout rate would actually improve. The relative lack of lefties he would face would allow for him to make a bunch of soft contact instead of swinging through sliders he can't reach I don't think he could do anything BUT improve his K rate. It was over 30% last year, right?

It will be Andy Wilkins until we trade for Jay Bruce and he becomes our LF with Viciedo being our DH.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 01:52 PM) Tigers KC is free on mlb.com btw My buddy tells me MLB Extra Innings is free this entire week as well. EDIT: And he's right.

Discover Park or Discover Field wouldn't be so bad, as it sounds generic and not corporate.

Sigh. Also.... f***

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 10:16 PM) MLB Tonight's projected final standings Detroit 86-76 Cleveland 78-84 Kansas City 78-84 Chicago 76-86 Minnesota 72-90 I think you mean PECOTA's projected standings.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 08:42 PM) Isn't the United Airlines logo on the roof of the building and can been seen whenever there's an aerial shot from the blimp? No idea, I couldn't tell you what their logo even looks like.

I have this dream where the Carlos Rodon situation turns in to the Chris Sale situation where he ends up dropping lower than everyone expected, the Sox pick him after a short fall and promise a quick promotion for an easy sign.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 05:56 PM) It's just called ChiSox Bar & Grill now. Hmm, whatever, as long as it's still a nice place to grab a bite to eat before a game. I really hope they expand in to a nice plaza for more restaurants and hangouts. I'm pretty envious of the plaza they are doing at Wrigley.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 05:54 PM) B/R is and always has been the official shortcut for Bleacher Report. It's even on their website. I'm glad I didn't know any of that, and now I'm upset that I do! Thanks, jerk!

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) Almost everything on B/R is now written by paid writers, including several top-notch sportswriters that they've snagged from NYT and other reputable publications

And am I reading that Bicardi at the Park is no longer there? Or is it just named something different?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Nothing is worse than O.co Coliseum I agree that some dont "hurt" to say. Like the United Center. Busch Stadium. Great American Ball Park may be one of the best. Ho-le s***. Never even realized this was named after United Airlines. I guess I just assumed it was a generic name. HAHAHA.

Also, I was assuming B/R was Baseball-Reference. Instead I see it's Bleacher Report, which is garbage and should be banned from ever being linked here.

I think Abreu has a great chance of winning, I think Sale has a decent chance. It basically comes down to competition. Abreu has Tanaka and Bogaerts basically. Sale has about 5 or 7 guys to compete with.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 11:56 PM) Let me get this straight, the Dodgers opened in Austailia vs DBacks only to come home to play a few more ST games? Yep, and now we all get to be graced by the Dodgers again to open up "US Opening Day" tomorrow night against the Padres.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 09:45 AM) Happy to see Webb made the team. I was surprised by this. I thought they would groom him in AAA for the future closing job once we flip Nate Jones for a top 100 prospect.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 12:01 AM) I do not think prolific means what you think it means. /Princess Bride Anyway, I will never understand the mentality behind 'hey this guy can throw far from outfield/catcher, let's make him a pitcher and see what happens.' So much to pitching to throw a 20-something veteran minor leaguer into that spot. I think the mentality is that a big arm is something you can't teach. You couldn't teach Mark Buehrle how to throw 95, but you could teach him how to throw a cutter and pick a runner off. If Blanke has the one advantage to pitching down, then maybe he can be taught the rest. I don't have a problem with doing it to a "failed" prospect. It has turned Sergio Santos and others in to major leaguers.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 07:27 AM) Sirens is ok. I see a lot of Scrubs in it. The 3rd episode of Sirens, the one about computer porn, was excellent. The 4th one was awful. The first 2 were decent. One thing I did notice is that there are a ton of Bears references, a few Hawks, a few Bulls, a large amount of Cubs, and not a single mention or breathe of the word "Sox" has been said. PANDER TO ME, DAMNIT!
