The Whit Sox acquired Samardzija, LaRoche, Cabrera, Robertson, Duke, Soto his offseason, but every gamethread mentioms Gordon Beckham in a miserable way. Be happy.

 

Just remember what you will post when he gets hits, that it doesn't mean anything.

Beckham did draw a walk.

 

Hawkins drove in Wilkins from 3rd with a single to right field

Brantly with another single brings home Beckham from 2nd base.

Looking for Hawkins to have a breakout year in AA this year

Vendette the switch pitcher now on the mound against Eaton

2 straight years teams haven't seemed to care much about Leury getting at bats.

 

Didn't Konerko steal at bats from him? It certainty didn't make any sense for the Sox to carry three 1B/DH types last year

Eaton sends a message to switch pitchers and brings home 2 with a double

2 run double by Abreu after Micah walks and a wild pitch.

Abreu doubles the switch pitcher for 2 runs.

 

Venditte pitches from the left and get smacked by Eaton, he pitches from the right and gets smacked by Abreu.

 

Maybe he should just pick a side to pitch from.

Nice 6 run inning

Hawkins 4/9 so far. Was fooled on a pitch and dunked in an rbi single on a ball off the end of his bat.

 

Brantly serving notice that he won't disappear easily...

Brantly is going to Charlotte. Listen to Hahn on the Score. He mentioned the 2b competition and figuring out the bullpen as his 2 big decisions and didn't even think they were big. If Soto is healthy Brantley beating up on AA anf AAA pitcherson March 8th won't mean a thing.

He was on the big league roster because of Konerko. Since they had an extra DH who couldn't play teh field they needed someone who could play every IF position.

Saladino base hit brings home Mitchell who walked earlier in the inning 7-3.

Leury would not have gotten the at bats. Not as many. Konerko only took at bats away from Dunn really.

Carlos Sanchez bloops home 2 runs with the bases loaded. The second base battle heats up. 9-3 Sox.

It's good to see that Courtney Hawkins is having a solid spring, hopefully he'll propel it into having a good year at AA

Watched the Hawkins video....more of an inside out swing on the outside half of the plate, went with it to RF instead of pulling off, which is nice to see. Progress.

Big Kotteras with a monster homer out to left. 10-3

Trayce Thompson with two hits as well.

The way Rongey says Putnam...he deserves to be punched.

Webb may not want to walk guys. He probably doesn't want to wear a Knights uniform on April 4.

Especially with Albers, Crain (future presence), Penny, etc., pushing him now.
