April 6, 200322 yr Man u guys r a tough crowd. Look, I've known about and somewhat followed Rick White for a few years now. He's been pretty solid throughout his career save his stint with the Rockies where Randy Johsnon would struggle to mantain a sub 4 era. Not only was he a key component for the Cardinals last year as they won their division. He was a key guy outta the pen for the Mets who went to the SERIES in 2000. So the guy has proven he can excel in pressure situations. Did White have a bad spring? Oh indeed he did. In a Ballpark similiar to Coors. And as we all know vets usually use the spring to try out new stuff and all that. So give the guy a chance before u crucify him. I think if we're to win the division like we all hope he's gonna play a role in it. I want all of u guys to remember this thread. And 2 months from now when White is pitchin well I don't wanna hear any, OH WELL I THOUGHT WHITE WAS GOOD ALL ALONG......

We are rough on our teams and players, but i for one never expect good things
April 6, 200322 yr Sorry, White has to show me what he can do for us yet - each player has to show they belong - I was not happy with the 0yh inning walk but was happy with a 3-batters and out 9th- if he earns it the love will come -

The Sox being on top of the division, that's where I feel I can pass a lot of love around! CWSOX45
April 6, 200322 yr Rick White is a solid pitcher and I believe he will do well for us. I just wanted to get that on the record now so I don't get accused of jumping on the band wagon later.

April 6, 200322 yr this was one of the few moves i was happy with that kenny has made in his tenure here...white should be fine..just dont hang anymore curves!!!!
April 6, 200322 yr As I have seen so far this year, including the spring. Glover has definately moved ahead of White on the depth chart. Right now I would be afraid to put him into any game that was in any doubt.
