Austin Hays, Cubs killer? Both of his spring HRs are here at Sloan.

3 way tie for Sox ST HR lead w/ Antonacci & Murray.

Dongs all around

Sosa sugar greets the Cubs RP ! 

Sox sweets yummy !

If I could just have ballpark noise and no announcers, I’d take it. 

[caulfield12]

So Sosa at DH with Hays in RF?

Or Baldwin in RF?

Or Baldwin CF Hays RF Sosa DH?

 

Seems that Acuna is being pegged as CF starter and Top of the lineup by most insiders.

[Baron]

Baldwin couldn’t see that somehow? 

[Jake]

Baldwin has a good chance of starting his season in Charlotte IMO. Especially because he has options left.

[caulfield12]

Schoenle not a hard thrower but got out of the inning in relief of Kay.

Kay 95/96 with his sinker.

[Autumn Dreamin]

Kay being at 96-97mph is nice, he was a ~94.5mph guy last time he was in MLB.

Don't think so respectfully.

Or start the season starting Sosa at 2B, with Meidroth as the 2B-SS sub. 

[Capn12]

Quero wants the season to start 5 minutes ago, already.

[PaleAleSox]

I think if Sosa sticks around (and it looks like he will), this team is gonna hit a fair share of bombs.

Let's stop getting thrown out at home please. And hitting weak grounders to a drawn in infield while we're at it.

Merk's notes:

Teel to say 'arrivederci' to White Sox and 'ciao' to Team Italy

- Venable likes Teel
- Newcomb likes Teel's elan
- Teel likes Italy's chances

With aggressive baserunning which has got a lot of steals and extra bases this spring, you do get outs on the bases too.
