They probably made Soto the starter because Flowers is terrible and Soto was once good a long time ago on the other side of town. 87 wins would be excellent.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/11470...41872-658620023 Nobody else (Cabrera, LaRoche, A.Garcia) in current consideration on the Sox side. 32 projected....I know, it's kind of a "duh" inclusion with Jose, but there are a lot of posters who believe his HR numbers will be down in the mid to possibly high 20's this season. Dude is 4-1 to be MVP, second only the Mike Trout. I expect huge things.

If he were under on HRs, I wouldn't care, but I think over on all three. Also, OBP is so much more important than BA, but we all knew that, already.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 11:37 AM) If he sucks for some reason then the awkwardness of this may even trump The Outfield song. If he's awesome then I hope we hold nothing back and play the Jaws music while the other team takes BP and before their half of the inning. Gordon Beckham's struggles have destroyed that song for me. Very sad.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) Sadly, it appears Beckham's contract is of the guaranteed MLB variety. So I don't see the team throwing away $2M. He may end up gone during the season if he's bad enough though. Despite what Hawk thinks, I believe there is a significant chance Beckham doesn't make it to September. He's lucky Micah Johnson's fielding isn't quite there.

Only one player has started opening day for the Sox and Cubs.

Radio for me. At Bat and MLB.TV all ready to go for the season!

It's a shame Cubans have to do this. What a fantastic read.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 23, 2015 -> 08:31 AM) Call me crazy, but I'd rather have Surkamp at what he's making than Zach Duke with his contract. I still don't understand that contract. Not too excited about Zach Duke, either. A career NL pitcher who was almost run out of the league? Sounds like a multi-year deal.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 23, 2015 -> 12:17 AM) Starting with Mondays game, every Cactus league game until the season starts will be viewable either on TV or webcast. About darn time. My body is ready.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Mar 22, 2015 -> 05:22 PM) Another 3 at bats for Avi, with no strike outs. That's 1 SO in 35 at bat, on the Spring. I'm focusing on that stat, as I regard Garcia as a key player for our offense. If he hits, the Sox could score a lot of runs. I love the .400 average, but the contact rate is even more impressive. Not a bad idea. I was listening, and it sounded like he had a hard line out to second. Need him to be good this season.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 21, 2015 -> 04:47 PM) Just reviewed the Sale contract and you're right. For some reason I thought his two option years were quite expensive but I was wrong. The last option is only $13.5M, which is beyond ridiculous. It's a silly good contract. Obviously, Sale's health is a potential concern, but Hahn managed to capitalize on that perception and sign him to a team friendly contract.

He's going to be a solid outfielder for the Cubs. Exciting time for Chicago baseball.

It drives me crazy that the Stars played the Blackhawks so well yet are still pretty much out of it. Yeah.. I'm a Stars fan. Congrats, you have met one.

Blacked out. I swear, any game in Minnesota is blacked out in Austin. What a joke. Oh, never mind. Thought it was televised. Apparently not.

It has been such a weak spot on this team for a number of seasons, I'm so glad Rick decided to deal with it. Love that baseball doesn't have a salary cap to combat.
