That doesn't involve putting your buddies and former players in the ranks. I'm not sure what's up with all of these brittle players they seem to get.

There will probably be at least another 140 of those when the season starts.

I got to see him and he sucked at the plate. I kept thinking about the time he was running his mouth off not being up here. I was also around some Sox fan "dooms dayers" thinking he will never make it. It also makes me wonder if the hitting instruction is quite different on the farm and maybe better?

So if you live where Spring Training is would you prefer to see other teams in action. Nothing really excites me to see the Sox this season. Sometimes I enjoy baseball when my emotion is not attached to it.

I didn't get to see Kanny that much. That was another great team. I hated how they all wet the bed in the playoffs except for Great Falls. I don't care to see Charlotte that much because you see the same retreads that have no future.

NL players just don't work out for the Sox.

I got addicted to watching the Dash last season and it was the only A team I got to watch. The Barons should be better this year. Last year was my first season watching minor league baseball I really loved it despite the broadcast quality. Unfortunately the only rookie baseball I will get to see in person is in the summer when it's over 100 degrees in the evening.

That is true and Reinsdorf paid him well as an asst. GM.

Can't wait for the minors to start.

Which seems to be tough for some when they put on that Sox uniform.

Last year I became a fan of the Sox A,AA teams. There's some hope there.

It's a luck thing the Sox don't have. How often was is that two of the best hitters in baseball were in the same line up?

Well history shows the Sox never land those players and the only one I remember is Belle and that didn't work out so well. There's plenty of sports teams who get burned in free agency.

An embarrassment to what? They don't hand out special privileges or trophies to fans. This kind of stuff is nonsense. What is better off without you mean? Empty seats? It's a sport not a religion.

Odd. I portray them as suck.

I prefer the Ranger stadium in Surprise. My first ST game was at the Peoria stadium and it was wet and like 58, I felt like a Bears-Packers game was gonna break out. My neck hurt for 3 days from those seats. My ST experiences are not the best and it doesn't bother me if I ever go. I love the Fall League at the Ranch.

Well he's not getting his number yet.

I don't think it's good for a player to be holding out for the right contract when basically the season has started.

That is the best form of shade at the Ranch.

It's a different kind of 70 in the desert. I found CB Ranch to be uncomfortable in the 80's.

And not one of them faced AL pitching or faced AL hitters....

Wayne Nordhagen musta been before your time.

Our luck Manny would have gotten injured.

I really think the Sox should get organization guys that work in the Cardinal system.

Ricketts did it right. He got people from winning organizations. Their scouting is very good. We were lucky to fleece them of two good prospects for Q. Plus there is some luck involved when hitting on draft choices. Some don't remember the Sox where a hot product in the 80's. Before the days of online ticket sales, our family would drive over 60 miles to the park to get tickets and had to go back home.
