Dayan has enough trouble tracking flyballs in the infield, he will not be a possibility in the outfield. I don't understand why people see that as an option. 3B, 1B or DH, that's it.

 

Because he's only 21 and has experienced playing in the OF back in Cuba already maybe?

I seem to remember you poo pooing the idea as Viciedo as an OF when I brought it up months ago.

I still think he belongs at 1b, but if we're not going to trade him immediately, it makes no sense to keep him at 1b in the minors.

I move for a rule change on this site. I believe the nickname TCQ should be banned entirely.

Indeed. But I do think we should all adopt a TCG nickname.

Unless someone is referring to something from the 2008 season, then I agree that term should never be used.

Should we spread a petition around the site and make this official?

There's a few nicknames here that should be banned entirely

2011 will dictate whether or not TCQ will endure.

Hotfire is another. Sorry JC. You failed miserably with that one. And I imagine I'm not going to like the mass 'Donkey' references when Adam Dunn pounds a few dozen bombs into orbit. Besides that, we don't have any other nicknames of note. I guess '15-year old looking sissy' with a throwing arm that would make Smallz from the Sandlot point and laugh wouldn't constitute as a legitimate nickname. But there's one I'll NEVER get tired of: BIG HURT!

If anyone can get to the lobby of the CBOT ASAP, they have free Soxfest passes for the first person there. Find the Sox rep wearing a Sox hat.

Weird, I thought Hynick left. Maybe him and Humber can compete for a long man slot in the pen?

 

And its interesting to still see Lucy around, and great to see Phegley being at camp. Jared Price though? WTF?

Just a body to catch. There are 28 pitchers in camp, and they have to get them all into shape, and it will be easier to do so with 6 catchers than 5. It's also never a bad thing to get catchers experience with other pitchers, as it would be a great learning experience for them as well.

What is interesting about it, I think, is that its Price (who has not really been a starter in the systems in recent years) and not Gonzalez, who was in camp last year.

Yeah surprising to me too. Unless they'd rather just work with Miggy on other stuff in the minor league portion since he's still so young and so far away.

Jared knows the pitchers, so he can help.

Why no Mitchell with a non-roster invite, his poor AFL performance?

No real need to yet. He is still probably a couple of years away.

Got the word that Beckham looks outstanding in the cage. Way ahead of where he was last year.

Yes, but is he in the best shape of his career?

Good LORD. MLB's top 10 right now - Centerfielders...No Rios. Both Ellsbury and Seizmore made the list over him. Curtis Granderson was #3! Matt Kemp #2... Jeez, MLB Nework doesn't hate the White Sox like ESPN, but that was ridiculous...

I thought Mitchell had the invite last year, that's all.

Probably just fluff, but in the off-chance it's not, I'm happy either way.
