QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) With how good the Royal farm system is, if I were a fan of theirs I would want to blow this season to get another high pick for when these guys come up next year. As would I. And I fully expect it to happen. The rotation is abysmal.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) KC is a much more rounded out team this year... a bit under the radar. They could easily be .500. Well rounded? The pitching is awful. I fully expect a top 5 pick for them in the 2012 draft.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) Is Ohman only on a one year contract?? Please tell me he's not signed for longer than a year. Please tell me it's not that much money. 2 years I believe.

Jerry Krause has left his position as international scouting director to join the D-Backs. Had the position for less than a year. Lolz. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/...s-for-arizona/ International talent? Who needs it.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) What's with the WHITE SOX RESIGN DEXTER CARTER thread? Have the mods disabled it because it's not true or something? No, it's because the thread already exists in the minor league forum.

Ugh. Hawk is already repeating stories. Go away.

It reeks of condescension and old folk in here.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 22, 2011 -> 05:35 PM) Buehrle's was not, 5 IP, 5 hits, 4 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 2 HR Also worth mentioning it was against the Reds AAA team.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 21, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) Double for Flowers. He's been above and beyond expectations this spring. I'd like to know if the changes to his swing are legitimate, or this is just a small sample size/spring training illusion. Either way I'd bet he's traded at some point.

Petricka seems to be headed to Kanny as one would expect.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 11:46 AM) i think it was over before it even started. i knew there was no way it would be tehean, we know ozzie is a defense type guy It was indeed over before it started. It's funny that people thought Teahen was going to get his butcher job back at 3B because he hit decently during a small spring training sample size. Morel is the absolute right choice.

Terrible piece. Do people actually take Bleacher Report seriously?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 16, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) You don't know who Brandon Belt is? One of the top prospects in the game. This. Pretty sweet for a 5th round pick.

Good thing Morel got a hit. I hear he was close to losing the 3B competition after a whole 21 spring training AB's.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) Do we really want Dayan playing a bench role though? It wouldn't hurt having him get regular reps in the field down in Charlotte Thankfully, from what I've read it sounds like Sox management agrees that he needs many reps and won't be a bench option.

Sounds like the Sox are actually being conservative with Mitchell, and plan to start him in Kanny. I approve. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,5257600.story

I'd bet Morel is officially named starting 3B sometime soon. This facade of a competition in order to not slight Teahen has about run its course.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 02:43 PM) Jason Marquis...I mean Jeff Marquez coming in. Another can't miss pitching prospect.

Lucas Harrell is not good at baseball.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 3, 2011 -> 05:52 PM) And why is that? Dude needs plenty of reps defensively and offensively. No need to waste away on the bench like he did last season upon his callup. He will be in AAA. Bet on it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 04:34 PM) I knew about the speeding ticket, but the officer was a Cubs fan? Then Pierzynski should have said "You should let me go so I can take out some Reds players considering the Cubs are going to be playing them a hell of a lot more than us" scottmerkin Scott Merkin The officer who stopped AJ for speeding was not a Cubs fan, taking down a perfectly good story a notch 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply

Dino in at 2B. Sleeper prospect.

Eduardo in at SS.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) Holy s***, who is that SS? Dee Gordon? Dodgers top prospect. Him and Sands. Most of his value is defensive. Still questions about his bat.
