Sosa has a 1.488 OPS at AAA. Including 3 HR and 6 walks. Popeye is only hitting .400 at AA.

It's always about Sheets being better against righties. But Burger has only had about 30 ABs against righties in the majors. And Sheets isn't real good against lefties. He's just ok. Given the opportunity, Burger would end up better from either side of the plate.

He's not gonna be the old AC that's for sure. But even a lesser AC is better than what we've got now.

We all know how Mr. 2000 is doing. Lenyn Sosa has a 1.420 OPS at Charlotte. Too bad he can't pitch.

agreed. anyone can post a 5.74 in colorado. he'll be in the bigs in 2 weeks.

Not me! Check back in June.

To the anti-Burger men out there, give him 100 AB's against righties. The man can hit. Even Sheets' good games aren't much more than sharp grounders thru the infield.

600

Don't know which was worst, the pitch call or the pitch. 1-2 count calls for up and in. That means UP!!!!

Ouch!

Funny thing, the best depth by position is DH,1B. Jake will rake!!

from your mouth to gods ear. if you can maybe put in a word for Gio it would be apprciated.

I hate to be negative on opening day. TA is an impatient fool. He ruined a promising inning by swinging at a pitchers pitch on a 0-0 count. Very talented but very flawed player. I'm counting the days until Colson Montgomery takes over.

Jake burger had a .724 against righties and an .892 against lefties last year. He has had 800 at bats in his career, minors and majors. Sheets has had 2100 at bats. who would you bet on improving this year?

Not for 1B,RF and DH. Those are run producer positions.

Sheets had a .736 OPS against RHP's last year. Maybe he bounces back, maybe the league has him figured out. .464 against LHP's. That's Billy Hamilton territory. Really bad outfielder. His only success in the majors was in his first 50 At Bats. He's been lousy ever since.

If JR had hired talented people instead of toadies, he might have won more. If the Sox had won more the team might be worth more. The cheapskate always loses in the end.

really had an MVP year before his injury cost him the award. it's funny how many strong guys turn out to be baseball fragile.

Augsburger night. All fans over 60 drink for free. Or Meister Brau night. All fans over 70 drink free. JR would like that better.

Hit him 7th. But please, play him him everyday. Cant remember how many times TLR would sit a guy after he had 2-3 hits the day before. What an asshole

yep. averages 50 extra base hits a year and almost always puts it in play. i remember tommy herr knocking in 110 one year with just 8 HR's

kind of a shame. he might knock in 100 hitting 5th. would probably lead the league in GIDP,s too. have always been puzzled why he starts so slow out of the batters box. maybe the slowest in the league. after 5-6 years you'd think he would improve a little.

keep up the good work. really enjoy your posts

I'd feel better about your picks if the Sox would acquire 1 more league average starter. No team stays healthy all season.

stop. you're breaking my heart.
