I'll believe him when he's 180lbs.

 

 

 

Prince Fielder must be happier with his contract than I thought if he's sponsoring threads here.

Yesterday it was reported Nick Masset would start today. Now it appears that it's Floyd.

 

I'm guessing that Masset gets the start tomorrow instead.

Ozuna, 2B; Cabrera, SS; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Swisher, LF; Dye, RF; AJ, C; Crede, 3B; Ramirez, CF. Floyd pitching.

Anderson will be starting on Opening Day. And I think they said Thome would bat 5th against lefties, with Swisher 3rd, so...

Are you sure it will be Anderson and not Ramirez? I hope you're right.

Even though Ramirez has earned a spot on the roster, Ozzie and KW have said numerous times that he's still raw, and that they want him for a utility role.

That wouldn't necessarily prevent him from starting in CF on opening day, though.

I suppose. But I doubt it. I think Brian gets it.

Man, and to think that that would happen 2-3 months ago....I'm so happy for the kid...and I'm so happy for the Sox.

 

Just think of how much money a producing Brian in CF would save us...$65-68 million?

Sox go down 2-0 in the top of the first on a homer by Braun.

Why do I have a feeling that first inning is going to happen alot against Floyd?

Interesting. He strikes out the first two guys, then gives up a hit and a homer.

 

Very quick top of the 1st for the Sox. 1 2 3. See, this is why I don't like Ozuna as a leadoff man, he popped out on the first pitch. You can't do that against Sheets.

You'd think those guys Fielder and Braun were good hitters or something.

Corey Hart adds in another bomb.

The good news is that seeing how bad Floyd is makes me realize that Danks could become a good starter in a few years.

Floyd is probably just working on a few pitchers out there today. He will be fine when the season comes around.

I just don't get all the optimism for Floyd.

You think Floyd is bad? We're talking about practice. Practice, man. This is practice.

Down the right field line too! (although the wind was going out that way)

 

Its nice to see that even though a stiff wind burst might be able to knock him off his feet, he still has the power to hit the ball out to the opposite field. If he puts on some muscle after a year of MLB conditioning, he may end up being quite a hitter.

How many homers will Floyd give up ths year. We should make that a survey. I am guessing at least 30
