Sox and a Prayer

Not a problem. We appreciate any input you have.

I can do that!!

What names are you hearing Pal?

Oh no. Please ? don't screw this up Hahn!

In my prayers Harold! To a continuing safe recovery and sharing many, many more opening days on the south side.

And they did add a veteran reliever. Sorry relievers.

That being said, I don't think they're last. Bottom third - yes, but not last.

I know I'm probably in the minority here but I really feel the Sox farm is So underrated and valued. This Kanny club - Wow!

Suck it losers!!! And have now taken their first series of the year. Much better than last season's 1-3 start at Anaheim.

If not Lambert then McClure.

Not to be the Debbie downer but I really don't know what to expect from Kopech today. His last outing in ST was awful! No control. Couldn't even finish the 2nd before being pulled and then coming back out in the 3rd for more work.

Yeah That's a head scratcher for me too.

They will not trade Moncada unless they get an absolute haul. I want Moncada on the field and in the lineup every single day. He is one of the 3 best 3rd baseman in the American league.

Stoney was saying there will be an unprecedented amount of injuries to pitchers this season because of the short ST. "Spring training is for the pitchers not the hitters."

Hopefully that's all it is a start or 2 missed. I really don't want to redo last season with the "Next Man Up" war cry or the Mt. Rushmore collage of faces that kept growing all year to injuries.

Speaking of rally killing, hopefully some of the contact that Eloy makes today are fly balls, line drives, gappers. I was a little shocked by all the ground balls he hit yesterday.

It's a different twins team for sure compared to last season. Not really sure where I would even rank them in the Central?

Vera will be a top 100 prospect

Losing Crochet is the one that can not be replaced. That will sting this year. He gives you a look that no one else can. Those are very uncomfortable at bats with him. Let alone the innings and relief he gives out of the pen.

What!? Caulfield, you finally have a short post that is less than 3 paragraphs and this is what you say?

Velasquez as a 5th starter absolutely ugly. Now I understand the urgency in TLR's "hopefully soon" comment regarding how long until Cueto joins this team from AAA.

Yeah it really is. I'm a fan!

I was wondering. I take it that doesn't happen too often?

I thought Tanner looked decent when I saw him at the beginning of ST. Although pitchers generally have the advantage over hitters in the beginning.

Good for Dedelow. This kid is from my neck of the woods. I've followed him thru high school and at IU. A doubles hitting machine!
