QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) Just to maintain the LRLRLRLRLR theme. I like the idea that they can't bring in a platoon setup specialist and mow down multiple guys later in the game. No matter what you will have two RH hitters together. It would either be Garcia-Ramirez after LaRoche or Ramirez-Flowers after Gillaspie The lineup that was posted today was: L-S-R-L-R-R-L-R-L Oh, you were wanting to move Johnson too.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) Than Gillaspie? I don't think we have one. Unless you want Cabrera there, but that creates a much bigger hole at #2. Ramirez is more proven. Not sure why you would want to switch the two in the line up with Gillaspie hitting 6th and Ramirez 7th.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) Not a chance Eaton ever bats anywhere other than leadoff. Sox have been looking for a high OBP, speedy leadoff guy for a decade. Not that they have one they aren't going to mess with that. Especially with a hitter as talented as Melky to slot into the 2 hole. Great AB from Melky. Kuma looks nasty but Melky hung around with 2 strikes and stroked one for a single. I agree but with Eaton's injury history it is great to have another guy that can leadoff on the roster. I don't expect Micah to ever leadoff unless Eaton is hurt or needs a day off

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) 2010 Andruw Jones in 328 PAs: .230/.341/.486, 121 wRC+, 120 OPS+ 2014 Rickie Weeks in 286 PAs:.274/.357/.452, 127 wRC+, 124 OPS+ I totally forgot he was even on our team at one point.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 02:11 PM) I'd swap Ramirez and Gillaspie. L Eaton S Cabrera R Abreu L LaRoche R Garcia L Gillaspie R Ramirez L Johnson R Flowers I would rather have a more proven hitter behind Abreu-LaRoche-Garcia.

Belmont, probably won't pick them in my main bracket but I wouldn't be totally shocked if they pulled off the upset

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 11:12 AM) I would flip/flop 6/7 and also 8/9 I actually think its perfect.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) The previews for next week tease Sammie going nuts, sort of. She's not already nuts? lol

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 15, 2015 -> 12:11 PM) I want Murray State in! Cameron Payne 4 Lyfe!!! We can't be friends

I'm in! Good luck everyone

Good ole John Danks lets up home run to David Freese

Can't wait to see what Hawkins does this season

I need some suggestions for good Italian Restaurants in downtown Chicago. We are very simple when it comes to Italian, we love spaghetti so any place place that has really good spaghetti is what I am looking for

QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 13, 2015 -> 05:50 PM) for a friendly wager for fun, i bet he stays with the team and goes north. I think he will make it but it wouldn't surprise me if he gets cut

Beckham is batting a cool .053 in spring training. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we cut him before the season started

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) Not sure it answers your question, but I am just under 6' 1" and Rodon was noticably taller than me. Are you sure you're not 5'10??

Brantly having a tough time

strikes out Ludwick, single to Gallo, 2-0

3 straight hits against Rodon

Here you go: Job Hunt Thread

QUOTE (Lillian @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 09:12 AM) If this is representative of how Micah turns double plays, I don't want to see him at second: http://m.mlb.com/video/v43049883/cwsoak-sa...-vs-as/?cid=cws He makes several plays on this clip, but the one that caught my attention was the double play. The play starts at :25, and demonstrates his foot work at the bag, and a not very pretty throwing motion. He'll have to do better than that I think he did that because he knew he had plenty of time to get the runner.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) This is all I will say on this topic I'm done with it as I'm sick of being misrepresented and called a hater. I will put my money where my mouth is and bet a Micah B-Ref scholarship for anyone that will take me up on this bet. You can pick. Either you take the over on a 730 OPS (min 400 PA) or 1.5 fWAR. I lose I will gladly buy the sponsorship, link to your page with whatever message you want. I win, you do the same. I'm pretty sure you called yourself a Micah Hater. Can't remember though.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 05:36 PM) The you can stop replying to my posts telling me as such. I get your position on my position. You need to pump the f***ing brakes

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 05:00 PM) If the Sox think he's earned it fine, but all this talk is just confirmation bias after 20 PA. I mean seriously, PUMP THE f***ING BREAKS. Every single year it seems someone is anointed the next big thing in camp this year Rodon and Micah get to split the honors. I can only hope the Sox are a little more savvy then some of the fans and media. We all know where you stand on Micah Johnson
