Hit tracker actually uses physics and doesn't just guess with the naked eye. Numbers don't lie. To go 438 down the line means the ball would land 100+ past the fence. Thats a hell of a long ways.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ May 10, 2012 -> 11:41 AM) Considering that the right field wall is only 330 feet away in Comerica Park, whereas the right center field wall is somewhere between 380-400 feet away in Progressive Field, these measurements are probably somewhere close to correct Yeah those homers down the line look deceptively far. Hittrackeronline.com had the one in Detroit at 438 and last nights at 419. They generally seem to be right on the money and I take their word over the estimates they give on tv.

Man there's been an over abundance of games on WCIU all ready this year.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 03:51 PM) Sounds like one of music's greatest voices is on his way out. Sad day. One of my all time favorite singers from one of my all time favorite bands. I'll admit I teared up a bit when hearing this news the other night. Theres not another singer out there that sounds like Levon Helm. Truly one of a kind. His last couple solo albums (which both won Grammys) are just amazing and I highly recommend giving them a listen if you haven't.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 12:27 PM) I understand and don't disagree with that approach. However, shouldn't they then be trying to trade the veteran players, who could net them more prospects? We have very few guys who are tradeable. Nobody is gonna take Dunn, Peavy or Rios at their salaries. We could probably find takers for PK, AJ, Crain and Thornton, but at most of their salaries we wouldn't get much in return, plus AJ and PK have full no trade clauses. The only one I could maybe see getting moved would be Floyd.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 11:33 AM) Some of you have brought up a very important point. Is this team interested in playing to win, or to develop their young talent? If they are playing to win now, and thus take advantage of the outstanding pitching they currently possess, then they need to insert a few legitimate Big League players into the lineup. If they are playing to develop the youngsters, then K. W. should immediately begin to try and unload all of the tradeable assets in the organization. The Angels would likely give up a couple of pretty good prospects for Thornton and Crain, as they desparately need bullpen help. There must be some team out there who could use a durable and serviceable, left handed hitting catcher. Peavy may be on the cusp of convincing, or should I say fooling, some GM into thinking that he could stay healthy all year, and help carry them to the post season. Even Paulie would be a trade candidate, unless the organization thought that there was a slim chance that the youngsters could be ready to make a run, by next season. Sox management will likely make a decision before the All Star break, but in the meantime, how much would it hurt to send a few youngsters to AAA, and try to replace them, temporarily with Major League ready talent. Of course, most of you know that I put Conor Jackson in that catagory, but he's not the only solution to some of the other holes in this lineup. What Major League ready talent do we have to replace them with. Dallas McPherson, Conor Jackson, Dan Johnson? There's a reason that these guys have to fight to try and make a roster and can only get Minor League deals. The only one that has proven he can play at the Major League level is Jackson and he has big question marks with his health. They weren't counting on winning this year anyways so you might as well let Beckham and Morel play to develop for the future.

Viciedo

Great. Back to back games on WCIU. Guess that means low quality stream or gamecast for me.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 06:47 AM) I agree with you. However, if the objective is to clear a roster spot on the 25 man club, why couldn't they send him to Charlotte? Boy, that would really infuriate Rios. Who knows, maybe it would lite a fire under him. He is clearly an underachiever. If he played well at Charlotte, perhaps someone would want to take him off our hands. If the risk is that he would have to clear waivers, in order to go to AAA, so be it. If a team wanted to claim him off waivers, I'd be thrilled, and I suspect a lot of other Sox people would be, as well. Am I missing something here? You can't send vets to the minors without their consent. I believe its if they have 5 years experience.
