[Charlotte Exhibition Game]

At least when JD gets rocked in an actual game that matters we can't continue the "oh it's just spring training, it doesn't count" excuse.

[Matt Lindstrom]

I see no problem with this. Just insurance

[John Danks]

I usually try not to worry about spring performances either but can't help but to worry about John Danks... He just doesn't seem to have it at all. I know these games don't count but I think this is still a relevant topic.

[Samardzija said he's not looking for "top dollar'' in]

Perhaps we should wait to see if he's going to give up 6 homers ever 15 innings before offering any contracts

[ST: 3/27 at Cubs]

I'd rather just pretend this game didn't happen

[Gillaspie has had planter fasciitis]

I assume if Gillaspie got hurt, then it would be Bonifacio/Beckham

 

Sigh

[ST: 3/27 at Cubs]

My opinion about Tyler Flowers wouldn't change even if he had a homer in each of his next 10 at bats

[ST: 3/27 at Cubs]

I'm trying really hard not to care about the ridiculous amount of homers given up by Shark

 

 

edit: nevermind, now i'm very worried

[Ventura "I expect us to make the playoffs"]

This truly will be my last post on the matter.

But don't some of you read responses? I gave you an example of the answer he might have given where there would be no story and it would be a vanilla answer that said nothing.

 

Unfortunately some people can't think of perfect responses for every question given to them. That would be great though

 

[Ventura "I expect us to make the playoffs"]

After the offseason we've had, I surely would hope our manager expects us to make the playoffs, or at least say so... think of how he would sound saying "I expect us to be a .500 team" or "I expect us to compete but we'll probably miss the playoffs."

 

Wouldn't sound very nice

[Padres' Outfielders]

I'm trying not to want carlos quentin but its not working.

 

same

[White Sox sign Matt Albers]

i actually really like this move... low risk, high reward. more props to Hahn

[James Shields]

If he can come at a decent price, i say go for him. We're trying to win this year right? Imagine a rotation of Sale, Samardzija, Quintana, Shields and hopefully eventually Rodon... holy cow. heck, with a rotation like that 1-4 i wouldn't even complain about a John Danks as the 5th starter. There would be a lot less pressure on Rodon and the organization to rush him into the rotation.

[Hello to the new Soxtalk posters!]

Hey SoxTalk, I'm a pretty young fan and I continuously read these forums for news and conversations about the team I've always loved. I've even bookmarked the site because I check it pretty much every day. So I finally figured, hey, if I'm reading these every day... might as well join in on the conversating! Hope a young sox fan like me is welcome around here
