Hopefully the mods dont mind me posting this here. I am running the HR Contest again this year. The thread is located in the PTC section, you can also click the link below. Go Sox. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98724

Just copy and paste this list below and add your username to the player you want. Eaton (5): Rollins (5): brett05, Abreu (1): Frazier (1): Melky (3): Avi (3): Condor13, Lawrie (3): Jackson (3): Avila (3):

Let's try this again this year. This is a simple contest that runs throughout the season. The goal of the game is to pick one player on the Sox that you think will hit a home run during each game. You do not need to make a pick each game and you can join in whenever you want. The season will be divided into two halves (depending on the number of participants) and the top 12 members from each half (depending on the number of participants) will enter a three round playoffs. Each player will have a point total assigned to them (Example below). Eaton 8 Cabrera 3 Abreu 1 Frazier 1 Avi 3 Rollins 3 Jackson 5 Lawrie 5 Avila 5 Bench 10 (Just an example) Each home run during the game gets you bonus points: First HR +1 point 2nd HR +2 points 3rd HR +5 points Grand Slam +4 points Walk-off HR +5 points Steak of 3 games in a row +1 Streak of 4 games in a row +2 And so on..... For example, if you pick Avi and he hit a HR you will get 4 points. If he hits 2 HRs you will get 9 points (4+5). CONTEST RULES *Pick a player on the Sox's starting lineup that you think will hit a home run at ANY TIME during each game. *You can only pick the same player 3 times during each week (Monday-Sunday) *If you pick a correct player you will earn the corresponding points. *You can only pick one player and you must have your pick in before the the first pitch (I will post the time along with the lineup) *If you are going away, you can PM your picks for the upcoming games *Streaks will win you bonus points (bonus points above). Streaks must be in consecutive games, if you miss a game your streak is over *Player points will be doubled on Saturdays. *The season will be divided into two sets at June 3rd, 2015, and playoff information is posted below. PLAYOFFS (May change due to number of participants) Season divided into 2 sets First Half: April 4th-June 8th. Second Half: June 9th - August 9th (55 games) - Top 12 members from each half clinch a spot in the playoffs - The two members with the most OVERALL points will receive a bye to the 2nd playoff round. - Playoff ties go to the member with the most overall points during the season. - It is important for those who make playoffs in the first half to increase overall points during the second half. Playoff Rounds Round 1: August 11th-August 23rd (11 games) (Top members from each half (22 members), not including the 2 byes) Round 2: August 25th-September 6th (12 games) (Top 14 members from round 1, +2 byes) Round 3: September 7th-September 23rd (16 games) (Top 10 members from round 2) Prizes Hopefully I can get someone who attends a Sox game during one of their promotions to get an extra one or two that we can give away as the prize

Sorry just saw this Daryl Van Schouwen – Verified account ‏@CST_soxvan Roster cuts today. Not official but Davidson, Carlos Sanchez, Leury Garcia, Kahnle, Coats appear to be among them.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) That's absolutely the opening day lineup, and you can see the final spot is between Sands, Sanchez and Ishikawa Why would Davidson not be in the mix?

Saladino with the boot costing the sox a run. Q was luck to get out of that inning only giving up 2 runs.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Puig I'd say Puig as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 05:09 PM) No one is going to admit that they did to the media. Btw, David Schuster on the Score said today he talked to people he know who work for the Sox and said there were complaints. Unless names are named or sources are revealed then for all we know KW is leaking it to make the team and himself look better. The source in Nightengale's story is more likely then not KW so his story IMO is trash.

Avila and Navarro both said they have no idea why anyone would have a problem with Drake and they didn't think any of the players said anything. Looks like that's now 4 players that don't believe it was any player and just KW leaking to the media that it's was the players, coaches, and or the owners.

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:56 PM) If this is truth, then screw Laroche. And I believe it largely is. I think it depends on if he had an agreement or a clause in his contract. If he did then he was well within his right to ignore KW. If he didn't then LaRoche will have caused most of this. The only person I will believe about the agreement at this point is JR. KW can't be trusted, neither can LaRoche.

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:18 PM) I hear you, but that seems like a pretty thin reason to quit your profession. I mean, JR spoke with Laroche already, and he's still retiring, so I have to assume that JR is backing the org/Kenny. Otherwise you'd think they could've worked it all out as a misunderstanding. Reinsdorf knew and agreed, that's a hard point to ignore imo. It shows he thinks his guy was ultimately in the right. Watch JR fire his ass tomorrow and throw this thing back in the spin cycle. I look at the JR thing differently. Yes he is backing the org. but it could have gone down like this. 1. JR says that limiting his kids access is just the direction the organization is going to take and that's how it is. 2. LaRoche tells him this was gonna be this last year and understands JR decision but has made more then enough money in his life and would rather still retire then miss roughly a year of his kids' life. 3. They both leave the room and are happy with the outcomes. this is probably why LaRoche just said he retired bc of family and didn't tell the media any of the details. 4. KW opens his big mouth and s*** hits the fan.
