QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) Prince oppo shot. If healthy they are gonna be tough Healthy Tigers = 100 wins

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 04:06 PM) Fister departs early due to injury. Let's see what this Tiger pen is all about for the first time. He is scheduled to start the Sox home opener, BTW.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) Right now, there are essentially six teams fighting for 3 spots. If Kendrys Morales is 100% again and Trumbo can play 3B effectively, the Angels are arguably better than the Rangers. Yeah I think the #1 Wildcard will be the 2nd place team from the AL West. I think both teams go over 95 wins, and the second wildcard is around 89-91 wins.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) Ugh....DET is so good now. Besides Alexei Ramirez, there's probably not a single player in their line-up they would prefer to start on their team. And Peralta outhit Ramirez last year. Mike Illitch is 82 this year year, and his only goal is to win a World Series title, hence, Prince Fielder. I'm just assuming that the Sox best chance at the playoffs this year, as remote as they are, is to win the second wildcard over Boston, Toronto, and Tampa Bay. So Go Tigers over Boston. And at the end of the day, I'd rather have the Blue Jays in there over Boston, so again, Go Tigers.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) Seems like Oakland fans have taken to calling Cespedes "The Cuban Missile".... How do we all feel about that? About the same as the Reds calling Aroldis Chapman the Cuban Missile.

Oh yeah, Kerry Wood will get his number retired real soon.

Lawrie with a hit. RBI single.

Jimenez no-hitter through 6 innings.

Jimenez is dropping his suspension tomorrow. He also has a perfect game going....

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 11:50 AM) Maybe Flowers will catch for Peavy. However, Holland is a lefty thus that could be reason. Morel in 2nd spot again. Hope that he proves me wrong. I would like to see Viciedo batting at least ahead of Flowers. Viciedo was getting hot at the end of spring training. Potentially, maybe #5 in our order. Harrison is a lefty too tomorrow. Let's put it this way...when given a choice of days sitting AJ, he'll sit when Peavy starts. I think that's a safe bet.

DeAza CF, Morel 3B, Dunn DH, Konerko 1B, Rios RF, Alexei SS, Flowers C, Viciedo LF, Beckham 2B Is it safe to say Flowers will be Peavy's personal catcher? Or at the very least, he'll catch about 75% of his starts? It's not like they have a day game tomorrow.

I dream of a great season then the Astros want him to DH/1B next year. That, or you know, the Sox win this year which probably won't happen.

Winston-Salem struck out 13 times too. Jealous of the parent club, I guess. Trayce Thompson 1-4, BB, RBI, 2 K Quintana had a pretty good start for Bham

If I'm Robin, I'm pulling the plug on Morel batting 2nd. It's not like he got all of the time there in spring training anyway.

Rangers: Ian Kinsler 2B, Andrus SS Hamilton CF, Beltre 3B, Young DH, Cruz RF, Napoli 1B, Torrealba C, Murphy LF . Colby Lewis P

Dunn shaved clean today. Cited boredom last night.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Apr 6, 2012 -> 09:11 AM) According to Jon Heyman of CBS sports, the Sox signed Kip Wells to a minor league deal. Now that's the news you want a few hours before first pitch.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 07:31 PM) The Rangers 5th best prospect. He's more than just an awesome name. Interesting. I was only familiar with the Rangers SS prospect with the weird name.

Nestor Molina pitched over bad defense in his first inning.

Kershaw has the flu

Indians lose in 16. They aren't going to have the start they had last year.

Weird move, but nobody cares about your fantasy team.

Uh....who the hell is batting 3rd for Hickory? http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...hicafx_kanafx_1 Rainy night in the Carolinas.

Buehrle quality start and loses. I've seen that before.

Good to see Chris Perez blow a 3-run save, and now they're in the 12th. Hopefully they have three of these games before the Sox show up Monday.
