I view Paulino and Hanson like Humber, basically a failure that may be a lottery ticket for a year or two. Had the Sox traded Humber that offseason, they might have been able to get a good prospect or two for him, so I'd hope to do the same with Paulino/Hanson.

"Two of the things that make my job a lot easier are Herm Schneider and Don Cooper," Hahn said. "Not only because it allows us to expand the universe of pitchers that we're comfortable taking a chance on, but we've also got pitchers seeking us out, too. Guys who haven't unleashed their potential or who have injury issues contacting us and saying they want to be a part of what we're doing." ^ I feel like this is why signings like Paulino and Hanson happen.

Classic Coop/Herm fix up.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 07:39 PM) Fat boys looked great today. Paulino was good. Cleto came in with a guy on third one out and and escaped the run facing two hitters. Belisario went four up, four down. #FearTheFat

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 06:01 PM) @ckamka: IBB's first tracked in 1955. Jose Abreu is first player during that span with a 2-IBB game within first 2 MLB games When you're intimidating opponents into your second game, it's good.

If they win, people will come.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 05:54 PM) How did Paulino look? One rough inning then good. Abreu doesn't seem to give a s*** about the cold.

Leury seems off.

I like Abreu.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 12:20 PM) Is he the Father, Son, or the Holy Spirit? Holy Spirit.

Basically hope they succeed outside of like Swisher. Don't care for some like Teahen.

Lindstrom starts at closer. Does well = trade at deadline. Install Jones as closer. Does well = trade in offseason for a Davidson type if you can. Much joy in Whoville.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 04:05 PM) He burned about every single bridge he had to the White Sox. I dont envision him ever coming back. Burned is putting it lightly. He burned the bridges, rebuilt them in stone form, then blew those up with TNT, then poisoned the water so that it gave off toxic fumes so a new bridge could never be built.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 12:45 AM) White Sox "win" the Reed/Eaton match-up for Day 1... Reed got torched for a 2 run homer by Posey to help cap a big Giants' comeback win at AZ. Reed was traded for Davidson.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) Cubs scoring summary from today: But the future Cubs put up 15.

Today's game was more fun than all 162 last season. I know it's Opening Day, but the crowd was awesome. If the new faces can inject some life and excitement into the season, we can be in for a fun year.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) Is 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Being Delayed for Reshoots? I laughed.

Abreu is a strong motherf***er.

TRADE SALE.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 03:36 PM) De Aza saying, "I'm your guy." Which I'm cool with if we can actually get something for Dayan. Do the Padres need an OF/1B? Dayan + minor leaguers for Grandal? Dayan actually has enough power to play in Petco.

ALE-ALEJANDRO

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 03:33 PM) If he bats behind Abreu and Dunn all year, he might lead the league in double plays. Meanwhile, Abreu is awesome. Especially if he swings at awful pitches like that.

Weak AB by Avi.
