May 5, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2011 -> 07:56 AM) I've got no problem with Vizquel playing. Every time he's in there he makes things happen. He made a loss happen yesterday by missing signs and not covering second on that bunt in the 6th.
May 6, 201114 yr Author I thought this was disproven? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/04/2012...medium=facebook Mark Buehrle is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2011 season and although he doesn't have a traditional option in his contract, he gets an extra year at $15MM tacked onto his current deal if he's traded at some point this season.
May 6, 201114 yr I don't know much about Barons 2b Tyler Kuhn but he seems to be having a decent season so far. Is he a legit prospect?

Kuhn can hit, but he's a marginal prospect at best. Scouting report on him is that he can play a number of positions marginally at best, but none well. And he's got no power, and no speed to speak of. Basically he is, at best, a good contact hitter. Ceiling is a Lillibridge replacement.

May 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2011 -> 03:33 PM) Why? Because of its overuse of "marginal at best".

May 7, 201114 yr Poor Crain's ERA jumped by almost 2 runs due to Alexei's error being overturned to a hit.
May 7, 201114 yr Kuhn has good speed. He stole 26 bases in 2009. He would've stole more in 2010 had Ever Magallanes been more aggressive with runners on base. He already has 6 steals this year. I'm sure he Tweets less and doesn't play as much Halo as Lillibridge. Retherford is a bad comparison also, his only tool was solid contact. I doubt Kuhn would wilt in the limelight like Retherford did.
May 7, 201114 yr Is this a bad time to remind people that I thought Justin Smoak would've been a better draft choice than Beckham?

Did you remind people when Smoak was a strikeout machine getting sent back to the minors? I believe in Beckham. There will be a lot of people eating their words in a month or so.

There will be a lot of people eating their words in a month or so. I'd prefer the player who struggled at first, then succeeded. Beckham has so far succeeded at first, then has struggled since 2009. With streaks here an there.

May 7, 201114 yr In this 22 game stretch the Sox have been on they have scored ONE first inning run (Niemann game). Currently on a 14 game streak without a run in the first inning. The Sox have scored THREE second inning runs (all in one game vs. Baltimore...a 10-4 loss). So 21 of 22 games they have scored zero in the second. The Sox have scored SEVEN runs in the third inning (4 in the Niemann game). Unbelievably, that is ELEVEN runs in 66 innings played over the first three innings of our last 22 ballgames. Pathetic offense. Just pathetic.
May 7, 201114 yr Wow, those are scary stats. Just go with this lineup from now on: Rios, Dunn, Quentin, Konerko, Ramirez, Beckham, AJP, Viciedo (3b), Pierre Rios is our best base runner anyways now

STOP F****ING MOVING DV AROUND!
May 7, 201114 yr I change my "best lineup" every five minutes: Rios, beckham, Quentin, Dunn, Konerko, Teahen (3b), Viciedo (LF), AJ, Ramirez.
