Well, Purcey is an easy cut now.

This scout is live tweeting...has some good things to say about Johnson. https://twitter.com/BerniePleskoff

Looking forward to seeing what Erik Johnson and Scott Snodgress do this season. The system is getting better, I think.

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 24, 2013 -> 03:16 PM) Stop Praising the Royals EVERY SECOND OF THE BROADCAST. Jesus. I haven't started watching this game, but after the last couple games, I'm already done with Hawk and Stone. They seem to be going out of their way to kiss each others butts, showing how they're going to get along now. In the process, we have to hear about their irrelevant careers from 40-50 years ago. The whole Sox broadcasting crew is just awful. Can't wait for it to change someday.

Vernon Wells to the Yankees.

Danks gave up 4 homers to Sox minor leaguers Puckett, Smith, Thompson, Shoemaker . 66 pitches.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 23, 2013 -> 11:05 PM) Dodger announcers say attendance tonight is a Cactus League record. 13,721

Sox traded Justin Greene to Arizona for cash.

Lineups: http://baseballpress.com/lineup.php Rios scratched with back stiffness.

Here's how I'm looking at this season --- 89 wins or bust and ignore the Tigers until July 9, since the Sox don't play them until then. Break down of each season series for 89 wins: Cle 11-8 Det 9-10 KC 11-8 Min 12-7 Bal 4-3 Bos 3-3 NY 3-3 TB 3-4 Tor 4-3 Hou 5-2 LAA 4-3 Oak 3-4 Sea 4-2 Tex 3-3 Cubs 2-2 Mets 2-2 Was 1-2 Phi 1-2 Atl 2-1 Mia 2-1 Record on key dates: April 28: 15-11 May 30: 31-23 June 30: 47-35 July 8: 50 wins before playing the Tigers August 1: 60-48 September 1: 76-60 September 29: 89-73

Sox acquire utility guy Cody Puckett from the Reds for cash. Mostly a 2B.

Opening Day high temp at 59 right now.

Danks will pitch Sunday in a minor league game.

Royals have announced their first starters. Looks like the first series will be: Sale vs Shields Peavy vs Santana Floyd vs Guthrie Chen still hasn't been named 5th starter, believe it or not.

Jordan Danks and Tekotte sent down to Charlotte. 34 left.

Looks like Ventura said they'll go Sale, Peavy, Floyd, Quintana, 5th guy Axelrod may be facing Felix Hernandez to start his season.

Sox win 8-3. 7 good innings from Sale. This will be his last long start until Opening Day, where he'll go 9 innings on 85 pitches. Sox 11-10 and some ties. 6 left.

Oh Adam.

I beleive this is the last Melton game. That's a good thing.

Keppinger hit--again

Kepp homer. Save some.

Watch out for the guy with the nose ring. Congrats.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 12:03 PM) He's effective when healthy, but this is a reminder as to why you don't sign relievers to long and even medium length contracts. Unless 2007 happens. Then you sign Scott Linebrink for four years.
