QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Feb 18, 2015 -> 02:50 AM) Finally saw Birdman. Holy hell, that was incredible. I wanted to see that and Boyhood before the Oscars. Haven't gotten around to Birdman, but I watched Boyhood last weekend, and while it's creative film making, I found it really boring. It's certainly not best Picture material, in my opinion....and nobody should be getting a best acting nomination.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 11:24 PM) I expect Avi will change to number 24 (Thank God). No, he'll keep 26. If he were going to change, Crain would have gone back to 26. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/roste...an.jsp?c_id=cws http://mlb.mlb.com/team/roster_nri.jsp?c_id=cws I find it funny that changing a uniform number is listed in the official transactions. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/trans...amp;team_id=145 Too bad Quintana got stuck with 62 when he did. Terrible number.

I'm guessing this means Vlad Jr. worked out for teams today, including the Sox. https://twitter.com/BBDominicano/status/567818946449010688

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) In the minors Rodon had #41, which is currently held by Javy Guerra. No one wears Rodon's college number of #16. I think Rodon had a different number at every stop last year, so I doubt 41 means anything to him. 16 is retired so he won't be getting that. Maybe 46 once Penny gets let go. That seems to fit. 24 is unclaimed. Maybe Campana would have had that.

5- Carlos Sanchez 7- Micah Johnson 18- Tyler Saladino 20- JB Shuck 25- Adam LaRoche 27- Leury Garcia 28- Jesse Crain 29- Jeff Samardzija 30- David Robertson 33- Zach Duke 34- Matt Albers 36- Rob Brantly 37- Bobby Thigpen 43- Dan Jennings 44- George Kottaras 46- Brad Penny 53- Melky Cabrera 54- Eric Surkamp 58- Geovany Soto 64- Emilio Bonifacio The rest are minor league big numbers. Rodon getting 80 for now.

Danks days til opening day. Kick, stretch, and kick....50!

I didn't start this thread, and his name is Nick.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 12:34 PM) None of you have commented on what was, at least for me, the most interesting and debatable thing that he said. He asserted that Beckham was the best defensive second baseman in the League. He also said that he was the best at turning the double play. Many on this board would disagree, vehemently. Even the notion that he might be the starting second baseman raises questions. Hawk said that Sanchez could not cover the ground, or throw like Beckham. Thoughts? Hawk is done saying things that matter.

QUOTE (Baron @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) Nice to get one of the quality relief guys still out there for cheap. Joe Thatcher is out there too. Thatcher just signed with the Astros.

3B Nick Delmonico https://twitter.com/MattEddyBA/status/566277463580233728 He'll get a late start to his season. Under suspension for amphetamines.

It has a Mitchell Boggs feel to it, but sure, why not?

Houston Chronicle saying 1.5 mil if he makes the team. With Albers and Crain in the mix, Daniel Webb and Javy Guerra should probably feeling a little heat going to Glendale.

Sox sign Matt Albers https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/566265624754929665

He couldn't remember Abreu's name this morning.

Bob Simon from 60 Minutes killed in a car accident in NY. 73. That's sad.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 11, 2015 -> 01:33 PM) Countdown To 2015/4/6 53 days ------------------- That's what I have on my countdown clock. http://days.to/6-april/2015 Yes, it's 53 days -- plus 10 hours to get to midnight of April 6. 54 days.

Youth sport parents are just the worst.

https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/565241800693387265 Surgery done on Victor Martinez. Back to baseball activities in 4-6 weeks.

I gotta see which pitchers break over the next eight weeks before I think about this.

Too bad for Campana. Maybe Engel Beltre gets an invite now.

Definitely rooting for Hawkins, but I don't think anyone will be surprised if AA baseball is too much for him to handle.

Spring training gets old quick, but hard to believe they'll be playing games in 26 days. And Sox/Royals 2 months from today.

I'll go something like Frank's 93 season... http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/thomafr04.shtml
