Ryan Buch walking everyone, wild pitches, etc. The veterans just got to love that if they actually stick around to the end of the game.

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 05:44 PM) Haven't really been following ST as much as I'd like to. Any chance Escobar makes the team? Escobar has a chance. Just doubled, btw. It's probably him or Dan Johnson, who just walked. Depends on if they feel comfortable with Lillibridge playing all over the infield and/or if they would just rather have Escobar playing every day rather than sitting on the bench. To me, it's Johnson and then let's talk in a month after we know what Escobar is doing in AAA and what Viciedo and Beckham are doing in Chicago.

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) UHHHHGGGGHHHH. I don't CARE what he's doing in Spring Training. He's proven he can't get it done in the bigs. Some players look great and ST and it doesn't translate to the regular season. He is one of them. That may be, but I still think he'll make it. I just don't think they need both Axelrod and Stewart in the pen. One will start in Charlotte.

Stults with 4 innings. Bruney with 2 scoreless. He's probably making the team. Probably down to Axelrod or Stewart. The rest is Bruney, Ohman, Santiago, Reed, Crain, and Thornton. That is if Crain is ready. 11-2 Sox, 7th Leyson Septimo in now. I think he's been a nice surprise this spring.

Danks struck out 7 in 6 innings in a minor league game. 96 pitches.

2 run double for Fukudome. 6-2. Not bad. Konerko rbi single. 7-2. Dunn and Ramirez follow up with singles. 8-2 This Felix guy is toast.

2 doubles for Lillibridge off Felix. He's no Brian Anderson, but... 4-2 Sox, top 5

No video today. Tomorrow afternoon on whitesox.com. Friday night on CSN.

Sox go 1-2-3 in the first vs Felix. It's sad that it would shock me if the Sox score a run off of him today.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 12:36 PM) I never knew why so many Sox fans bash Kenny for not protecting him, I knew he would be back. No you didn't. The fact is the Sox were at about 36 on the 40-man when he was left unprotected. Doyle had a very good AFL. And if he did anything in spring training, he would have made the Twins roster. Even if was just a bullpen spot. Quite simply, he stunk up the joint in Florida the last couple weeks, and the Twins couldn't keep him. But you didn't know he would stink in spring training. You just guessed right.

Who's left (bold are the 12 I think will go in the next two weeks): Pitchers (16): Axelrod, Bruney, Crain, Danks, Floyd, Humber, Jones, Ohman, Peavy, Reed, Sale, Santiago, Septimo, Stewart, Stults, Thornton Catchers (4): Flowers, Gimenez, Phegley, Pierzynski Infielders (11): Beckham, Dunn, Escobar, Gallagher, Johnson, Konerko, McPherson, Morel, Olmedo, Ramirez, Saladino Outfielders (6): Danks, De Aza, Fukudome, Lillibridge, Rios, Viciedo

14 cuts: Carter, Castro, Heath, Marinez, Hernandez, Leesman, Veal, Martinez to AAA Molina, Quintana to AA Blanke, Kuhn, Mitchell, Thompson to minor league camp 37 left in camp

Look how many years the Royals could have traded Soria for big value. Sucks to be them.

Saladino doesn't get over to 1B on a bunt play. I still don't know why he was added to the major league camp.

Viciedo may be awful.

Sad offense.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 04:33 PM) Ventura already said its between Crain and Thornton.. That was a while back. I haven't seen any recent quotes on that. I'm still holding out that they'll do the right thing in the end...which is to use Reed as a closer and Thornton and Crain as set up guys. It definitely won't be Crain.

If Reed doesn't close from Day 1, I'm going to be pissed.

Melton is priceless.

6 shutout innings for Sale. Impressive stuff.

Did Hawk put on 30 pounds this offseason? Jesus.

Dunn looks hitterish.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 03:49 PM) With Escobar and Lillibridge, Fukudome and Flowers, is our bench set? Escobar isn't a lock. He may be more valuable playing everyday in AAA. My bet is still on Johnson.

QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Mar 19, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) Hey, Viciedo walked! He walked 54 times last year. Joke is getting old.

3IP, 1 hit, 5 K's Looking nasty
