I'm glad that there's a solid correlation between ST numbers and regular season numbers...

 

Dude, we know. Get off it. You've been barking up this tree for weeks now.

 

Personally, I'd much rather have a guy fighting for a roster spot put up excellent numbers versus putting up poor numbers and justifying by saying, "There is no correlation between Spring Training numbers and regular season numbers."

 

But, to each his own I suppose.

Josh fields looks great today. Is that Fabio castro pitching?

Jabroni and Keith, you guys sound like me and quickman ... without the underlying friendship.

BUT REMEMBER, SPRING TRAINING NUMBERS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING!

 

Willie will hit over .300 during the regular season.

Really??? So Brandon McCarthy owning in spring training also doesn't mean anything at all. NOTHING AT ALL.

Hey, I'm just trying to match your 'trade Harris' posts...

 

But seriously, it would probably best fit the team to have Harris go down when Thomas comes back -- if Ozzie isn't comfortable with Harris at short.

Harris had a higher OBP than our Opening Day leadoff hitter did last year, and had much better minor league numbers.

 

Oh, and I just read your comments about Carlos Lee.  Thanks for making me fall off my chair in laughter.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It was sarcasm. I wish we still had Lee's offensive ability but I definately won't miss his defense or lackadaisical attitude. I continue to laugh at you thinking Willie is a good hitter though.

Anyway.....

 

 

What's going on in the game?

Hey, I'm looking at the whole picture.

 

I want Podsednik to prove he can hit and get on-base. He's done it one year.

JMHO, but I think it would fit the team best if Harris went down in a week and a half. If not sooner. Give the ABs to Iguchi in ST.

It's 10-4 Sox in the bottom of the 5th, no outs.

 

Castro is having trouble throwing strikes for the White Sox.

 

Another hit for the Brewers, a bloop.

 

Also they are panning the crowd, more than the usual share of spring training hotties in Maryvale today. That's a nice ballpark.

Heh. Willie is great at making contact...

Look at his range factor and compare them to other corner outfielders. He is far from a bad fielder at this point in his career. Is dye a bad fielder because he can't run? You always hear how great of a fielder he is.

but he's under tremendous pressure....that explains it.

 

 

how can you not throow strikes, up by six??

Thank you. Who is this Castro guy?

No, I'm not saying ST numbers mean nothing at all.

 

But with McCarthy, he has something besides that to back it up. He's dominated just about every level he's been at.

 

And I suppose Ozuna's been solid at points too, I'm interested to see how he does this year, actually.

 

But, for a guy like Kevin Walker -- who's been bad at AAA and bad in the majors, I don't know how it can warrant making the big league club because of ten good IP...

Heh.  Willie is great at making contact...

...and grounding out to the 2nd baseman. :headshake

wouldn't call it contact.....i have more power in blowing on the ball then he does when he makes "contact"

FYI ... no biggie, but you won't be changing anyone's mind on Willie Harris on this site. Don't know where people stood at WSI, but here there are either strong supporters or people who don't like him at all.

 

It's clear where you stand on the issue.

 

Fabio Castro in trouble here. Bases loaded, no outs.

I mainly don't like his attitude but I could still see Carlos being a DH if he signs with an A.L. team. There's a reason Dye is a right fielder and Lee is a left fielder. There's also a reason that the Brewers moved LF Geoff Jenkins to RF to accomodate Lee. Keep in mind that Jenkins is not a good fielder either.

i really like the brewers park

JMHO, but I think it would fit the team best if Harris went down in a week and a half. If not sooner. Give the ABs to Iguchi in ST.

 

Hey, I'm all for Iguchi too.

 

I'm just looking at the 'what if' part of the equation -- what if Iguchi doesn't work out? Personally, I think Ozuna/Harris might make one hell of a platoon, if it were to come to that (hopefully it won't). Don't know how well Ozuna has performed vs. lefties in the minors, but it has to be better than what Harris has done in the majors...

Pitching coach Juan Nieves goes out to reem Fabio Castro en espanol.

 

Carlos Lee up, bases loaded.

I'm glad you're in the clubhouse, Aidan...

Carlos grounds into a double play.

 

That should help Fabio Castro's confidence. Nice pitch.

 

In answer to the question, Castro is a Sox farmhand ... played Single A last year.

Lefthanded reliever, very young.

I think Iguchi will do fine. Iguchi in a slump is still better than Wee Willie.
