February 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 04:36 PM) Yeah, Fangraphs seems to think he is an average LF and RF, but pretty bad in CF. Seems like it will be up to Rios, Pierre, and Lillibridge to man CF (or does Milledge making the team mean Lillibridge is gone?) I'm thinking Lillibridge stays and DeAza would be gone since Lilli can play in the infield too.
February 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) I'm thinking Lillibridge stays and DeAza would be gone since Lilli can play in the infield too. I was under the impression that the 25th spot was between Lillbridge and De Aza. And since Milledge is better than De Aza, I would assume it would be The Battle of the Millibridge in spring training.

I'm gonna assume it means he likes rap? DAMNIT ONEY! Now I must know what a "real" black guy is!

February 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 04:49 PM) I know Edwin Jackson is black (although born in Germany), but is Juan Pierre black, hispanic, or french? Black. He was born in Alabama. He's named for Juan Marichal.

LOL Juan Pierre himself says he's a black man from the south with a hispanic first name and a french last name. Also, we should ban the mentioning of Oney. I wish he'd just go away.
February 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 05:19 PM) Don't know if this was posted. Milledge in winter ball being...him. QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 05:11 PM) I hope they tell him he's not wearing 85, and take out the dreds. This kid needs to be knocked down a few pegs. Seems like we have our first poster to hate him before he even takes a swing for the Sox! And it looks like he didn't start anything in that video. The other guy was jawing at him and pushed him first.
February 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 05:53 PM) Black. He was born in Alabama. He's named for Juan Marichal. I know he was born in Alabama, but he could still be hispanic. French was more of a joke. But anyway, I guess that makes Milledge black guy #3, if Oney is counting.
February 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) Milledge gets $500K if he makes the team, no incentives. This deal is awesome. No risk, all reward.

Now I must know what a "real" black guy is! +1 for Battle of the Millibridge FWIW, I think there was a running joke about how Jermaine Dye wasn't really black since Juan Uribe called him a white guy. Everybody probably just went with it. Edited February 3, 201115 yr by chw42

February 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (lord chas @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 04:59 PM) whats the deal with the video? did he steal a bag when his team was up big? I think what happened was he hit a run scoring double, and motioned like he was throwing a hand grenade in his own dugout - hamming it up with his teammates. The opposing team took exception, and he was HBP in his next AB. Well he stole second, and that's when the drama ensued. Click the link on post #5 for a better explanation.

February 3, 201115 yr http://www.foulballs.net/2011/02/oney-guil...fit-behind.html Not fake like Alexei Ramirez.
February 3, 201115 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) Andruw Jones-like deal. Was Andruw Jones a minor-league deal?? I thought his deal put him on the 25-man.

February 3, 201115 yr http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2011/2/3/...ge-in-pale-hose Basically says Milledge = Francouer, but the two signed with a difference of $2 million in salary.
