Sox: Pierre LF, Ramirez SS, Dunn DH, Pierzynski C, Milledge RF, Morel 3B, Flowers C, Danks CF, Lillibridge 2B Today's game is on whitesox.com (Melton/Bender--fun) Also on 670, with Ranger joining Farmer and DJ in the 5th inning to take calls.

Ozzie isn't happy with today's game. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news...ce=MLBHeadlines

RBI singles for Vizquel, Milledge, and Beckham. 5-3 Cle

I think best case scenario is some team will take Teahen, and the Sox pay about 2/3 of it. But I think that's more likely after this season, when they can Linebrink him.

I don't see how they could put him at 3B during the season. They're covered with Morel and Vizquel. The only place I could see him going is RF, maybe once every couple weeks, or if Quentin has an injury here and there, which he usually does. Hopefully Teahen rides the pine a lot, and gets less than 200 AB's.

In my book, it's Kenny's worst move as GM. Not the trade, but the extension. I'm sure he regrets it...he has to. QUOTE (bulokis @ Mar 5, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) I still do not know why KW signed him for that much without Teahen even playing for the Sox. He can be a super sub but not at 4.5 and 5 mil.

Another throwing error for Teahen. Good god.

Baseball contracts are guaranteed money. They'd be on the hook for 4.75 this year, and 5.5 next year, so it probably won't happen. Just wishful thinking.

2-0 Indians. Error by Teahen at 3B. Just release the guy...please. Cut your losses.

Double for the birthday boy. He ain't old yet.

RBI double for LaPorta. Ends the Sox starters hitless streak at 10 2/3.

Floyd starting Milledge LF, Beckham 2B, Rios CF, Konerko 1B, Quentin DH, Teahen 3B, Viciedo RF, Castro C, Vizquel SS Paulie turns 35 today.

Fair enough, Savvy. But there is no way a baby should be held in a somebody's lap sitting right over the dugout. That's asking for a tragedy. It actually shouldn't be allowed.

A warning to Trayce...don't piss off your dad. http://collegebasketball.scout.com/2/1053275.html To listen: http://espn.go.com/espnradio/player?rd=1#/...lsign=ESPNRADIO

Some fan stuff from today's game: I'm not a fan of anyone taking their shirt off at a game, but seriously, some people have no shame--when they should. And to the fans sitting over the dugout that almost got smoked...don't take a baby to a baseball game. They're not going to remember it.

2 innings each for the starting 5. 0 hits.

If there are no setbacks between now and the rest of spring training, then he should start April 6. If he's at 90 pitches in three weeks, he should start on 4/6. No point in him going to Charlotte for meaningless rehab starts. If he's ready and feeling good, he's got to start the season with the team. QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Mar 4, 2011 -> 03:34 PM) @pedrogomezESPN Pedro Gomez That would be insane if he starts the first week of the season. I still would rather Peavy miss a couple weeks in April so that he is 100%. No point in rushing him to make two extra starts.

The real countdown... 4 Weeks!

Scheduled to pitch: Peavy, Leesman, Humber, Santos, Sale, Crain, Kinney

Sox win 6-1. Ozzie is playing some of the major leaguers deep into games. New this year.

RBI single for Milledge. 6-1

Sac fly for Escobar. 5-1 Sox, bottom 8. Infante has the 9th.

2-run double for Flowers. Pretty nice piece of hitting to RF.

Ranger should be doing these games instead of Trey Bender. And Ventura is a good call, but I'd rather hear Rongey do them solo, and bring in guests throughout the game like Charley Steiner does on the Dodgers side.
