Catchers Miguel Gonzalez and Josh Phegley, and OF Jared Mitchell were reassigned to minor league camp.

Ahhh bulls***. I wish they didn't cut Mitchell so early. He is very exciting to watch.

Sounds like we're roughing up Sheets right now

Not very exciting cuts - none of those guys were ever intended to make the team this year.

You were expecting Peavy to head to minor league camp?

Well, yeah. We already know the 13 position players making the team, so it was just a spring training note. Not intended to be exciting.

De Aza is really trying to make this team....

 

2-2 with an RBI so far. He is hitting .556 on the spring. Also, big Andruw with a triple and 2 RBI thus far.

Thanks. That was a nice little clip. Great to hear the interplay between the brothers.

 

Interesting hearing John talk about that high school championship game. You can see glimpses into the intense competitor behind his laid back personality.

 

 

the undefeated indians come to the ranch today, looking forward to watching that one

I'll be at the game today. Hoping the Good Guys put on a show.

they say Jenks is nursing a sore calf -- isn't that what he went down with at the end of the season, a sore calf?

I didn't realize he was good with farm animals.

You haven't seen those pictures?

Today's game is on whitesox.com. A Bill Melton game...I'll pass.

 

Garcia on the mound vs. Indians.

 

Lineup: Pierre, Retherford, Quentin, Konerko, Kotsay, Rios, Ramirez, Teahen, Castro.

Ugh. Wonderful.

We should have traded Bobby when we could have.

Specifically, a pulled calf muscle.

 

Could easily just be soreness from getting back up and pitching with the muscle the first time since injuring it.

Overreact much? He's got a sore calf, in early March. This is really not anything to get upset about.

Didn't he show up in the best shpae of his tenure with the White Sox? Like he shed 25 lbs or something?

Had a blast today at the Sox-Indians game. Game was fairly by the numbers, Retherford looked great, Putz seems to have life on all of his stuff, Santos is looking like a major league pitcher, and Daniel Cabrera is a mess. What happened after the game is where the fun began. I had great seats right by the dugout, so after the game after being spurned by Ozzie and Cora, I got Nix over to sign a ball, Lucy came up behind him with a look of hopeful expectation on his face, I didn't ask him to sign, felt awkward afterward. Next, came Retherford. Really nice guy. Fellow next to me asked him if he was playing tomorrow, said nah, "Going to Vegas".” Next comes Jordan Danks. One of the most athletic looking guys I've ever seen. And I'll tell you Jordan Danks might be the coolest damn guy on this team. We had the following exchange.

Me: Think you'll be in Charlotte, this year?

JorDanks: Dunno, they haven’t told me anything yet.

Me: at least they seem to be fast tracking you. (At this Danks turns with the biggest grin on his face.)

Jordanks: Absolutely! (He then turned to leave)

Me: It's the production!

Next comes Dayan, who still clearly struggles with his English, but was good enough to come over and sign.

After all this I was pretty damn happy. The players had dried up, so we turned to leave, and made it half way through the parking lot before my brother realized he has left his jacket in the stadium. We had to run back for that, but in some sort of divine providence, we got back to the employee parking lot, right as The Carlos Quentin pulled up to the stop sign in his car. Got his autograph, thanked him profusely, and went on my merry.

Man, how could you diss Donny like that. Any player I get a chance to have an autograph from is a welcomed opp. You should never say no. I remember even getting Rick Brunson autograph one time.

I was exaggerating a bit, but there was definitely an awkward moment for me there. He was walking towards the pen, but he would have come if I called. I didn’t call. I did say, “Good game, Donny.” So, there’s that.

Yes, the exact reason I got a Brent Lillibridge autograph.

 

I got Harold Baines and Gavin Floyd. And then I got Jerry Owens and Brent Lillibridge. I think they both actually devalued my ticket they signed.
