Abreu is a strong man.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 03:28 PM) One of these things is not like the others? Ryan Braun did steroids?

Time for the raw power part of the lineup.

There goes the perfecto.

Sit down, said the Sale.

Shift got Conor there.

Damnit Marcus.

Seems like MLB.tv is on delay, but woo Eaton!

Three up, three down. Suck it Twins.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) Gillaspie is a versatile hitter and left-handed. I don't want to see him get many ABs against LHP, but for now I'm not going to lose my mind over it. Surprised about ADA. I have a feeling we're trying to trade both ADA and Gillaspie and this may influence their playing time until those things happen. Makes perfect sense to have Lindstrom as closer. If he put up last year's numbers but as a closer, you could get a bunch for him at the deadline. It keeps Jones's arbitration value down. Works for me. This. If Lindstrom puts up good numbers and we can flip him for a good prospect, I'm down. Then Webb or Jones can step into the role and we'll see if we then want to trade them. I like the organizations ability to churn out closers.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 12:04 PM) bmo harris bank bank on it.. no pun intended Harris Park would be ok.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) Geez, tough crowd. In the great city of Chicago, Konerko should get all the attention in the world. He and Buehrle are my favorite Sox of all time. Neither of those two want the limelight.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) Courtney Hawkins? Nope, he had a bad year at the ripe age of 19. He's a bust. He's also a righty.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 11:14 AM) Anyone who boos Dunn during intros or before his first AB is an idiot, and a bad fan.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 10:37 AM) Gillaspie is going to hit a 3 run homer in his first at bat. It will then no longer be questionable.

QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) So apparently Gillaspie is hitting third today haha The questionable decisions begin.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 10:25 AM) Forgot about that. Yeah that was stupid.

I enjoy baseball being back.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Mar 31, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) Thank you for starting this thread. A lack of a middle of the order left handed bat continues to be the most glaring flaw in the Sox organization. There isn't a single candidate at either the Major League, or Minor League level, who could realistically be expected to contribute any time soon. It's a shame that there probably isn't even a candidate to fill this void, in the upcoming Amateur Draft, and that's picking third, with likely all of the position players, from whom to choose!! You know, there are these things we call trades.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) Ho-le s***. Never even realized this was named after United Airlines. I guess I just assumed it was a generic name. HAHAHA. This was me for the longest time. When I realized it was United Airlines, I had to pause for a moment. Shame about Bacardi at the Park. Bacardi Park wouldn't have been awful.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 04:49 PM) I still hate this line of thinking. I hope Semien proves it wrong if it happens, but I want him to get some AAA experience first instead of heading right to the bigs. I'm cautious after what happened with Gordon.

Most people here seemingly want Semien to turn out like Beckham by rushing him. Let him develop a bit in AAA first. Please.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 30, 2014 -> 04:08 PM) Wilson Betemit's a different situation. He was a busted prospect from another organization, and he wasn't sitting with a guaranteed $4-5 million contract. And Beckham was a legit Top 20-30 prospect in the majors at one point, compared to Semien being on the outside of the Top 100. Semien wasn't even in/on most organizational Top 10 lists before 2013. Two years ago, Tyler Saladino was Marcus Semien. Ah, so...we want to put the not Top 100 prospect in the same situation that caused the legit Top 20-30 prospect to fail?
