Good teams make their moves in August.

The Royals still look like AL champs with that killer pen and the Sox.........they still look like the Sox.

I can see people getting upset. It still looks like the Sox of 2014 playing games 163, 164.

Check that wind. That might be why Gordon missed that ball.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) See that's what a real catcher looks like. When do we get one of those? That's probably the hardest thing to get in MLB.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:19 PM) Jesus Christ LaRoche. That's 2 at bats where he didn't even swing the bat. At least Adam Dunn swung at stuff. lol Sometimes that's the problem with having former NL players. It's a big adjustment at the plate in the AL.

Abreu is a stud.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 01:34 PM) But Vince Coleman... They clearly worked very hard on baserunning in spring training. It is just one game, if it lingers, then worry about it. I was hoping they would go 162-0, but I figured it was a bit of a longshot. This is something they need to address in the minors. It's a trademark of the organization.

Most of these players went through the US public schools where everything is pussified. Everyone is suppose to win and we can't celebrate success.

I take it this team looked like they had no Spring training. Some still can't run the bases.

Glad I didn't prematurely buy the MLB online. I know it's one game but......

I predict Danks will have a successful season and that's why the Sox will win the division.

A lot of new faces this year. The AL Central is going to be very competitive. A good closer, a hopefully better than last year pen should make the difference. I think how Danks performs will be the clincher. Think 2005 John Garland.

Wasn't this guy the Sox wanted to get from Atlanta a few years back?

Another milking of the illogical Sox/Cubs rivalry.

Congrats to Jackson's agent. Hard to believe a $11M annual salary.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 8, 2015 -> 11:59 PM) Simply untrue. They help you hit the ball farther and recover faster, but they can't make you a better hitter. Steroids don't make you hit at the high average level that Piazza did for as long as he did. Stats prove you wrong.

Another failed Kenny philosophy of defense can always be taught at the minor league level. Catching the ball still means something in the majors.

Baseball can't come soon enough. I posted some time ago why I can't stand the NFL. Now the media will suck Brady's dick for another 5 years. It's great not to have cable and deal with ESPN's East coast bias.

I predict John Danks will have a good year, maybe a 15 game winner. There is no logic behind it other than he's another season past the injury.

I always wondered how this guy fell so fast. After him testing positive for pot that's when ti decline started. I don't like getting guys from habitually losing organizations. It supports that imaginative mental weakness theory I can't shake.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 31, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) Probably true, but if you can trade him for picks and try to find a QB for the future in the draft, or find some journeyman until next year's draft and put that money in other places, I think you do it. To get a good future QB, 5-11 wont cut it. They need to go 2-14 or trade up.

If he wants back in then he needs to get in a team's minor league system so he can repent of his old ways.

I wouldn't want a jersey that has a former Cub on it.

My concern - Adam LaRoche adjusting to the AL. While the team looks good on paper sometimes you can't overcome bad defense and poor fundamental. See Detroit Tigers. I believe John Danks will have a much better year. The more important thing is it should increase attendance.
