The Rangers game is on MLB Network overnight if anything noteworthy happens.

No Jackson yet.

Ventura sense of humor batting Shuck cleanup against Riyals.

No Jackson yet.

Said it would be about 10 days before he got in a game. What's it been 7 0r 8 days ?

Austin Jackson is expected to report to camp tomorrow. Is likely a week to 10 days out from playing in A games.

It's been like 4. But in the paper I read this morning it said he'd play Saturday.

Yea just checked the Ajax acquisition thread. Seems like longer but my internal clock is off since I am temporarily not working.

Ya saw somewhere online about possibly this weekend for Jackson

Nice rip there by Avi.

Nice 5 run 1st inning for the Sox there.

They should do that for Quintana during the season once in a while.

Yea no kidding. That's been about 3 games worth of runs for Quintana in the past.

No idea how Davidson hit that ball out to RF with such a pull swing.

Cespedes hits the same way if you're referring to opening the hips but if you can adjust your swing and keep the bat longer in the zone you can oppo it.

 

Funny both games at once . Fulmer with 2 scoreless innings vs. Royals. Sands with a HR against Rangers. Carlos Sanchez anither XBH ,his SLG and OPS must be off the charts so far.

Another nice shot by Avi into the left-centerfield gap. He is absolutely on fire. I know it's a very small sample size but he looks like a completely different hitter in the chances I've got to see him this spring. I really think this is the year he puts it together.

It will depend if he gets to play much or regularly. I personally would ha e him as the DH and cut Laroche

Agreed. If he hits like this out of the gate I guess that LaRoche will be the odd man out?

Shh. Be careful, you know that a comment like that is likely to generate a chorus of skepticism. "It's only Spring", "He still sucks" etc,

But, I'm with you, he looks completely different. This new stance is much more conducive to hitting for power. He's showing good patience at the plate.

The front office knows that he could be a beast, if he puts it together. I'm very encouraged.

Sox defense evens score at 1. Misjudged outfield pop up falls when it shouldn't have. Leury Garcia broke back so bad jump and attempted diving catch by Shuck unsuccessful. Then WP and throw into LF by Hector Sanchez scored the run. Single by Gordon ends Fulmers day. 2 1/3 innings 1 run so far, 1 BB 2 K. Nick Turley in to pitch.

Very doubtful. Sox need LH hitting and the Sox just don't cut a $13M salary.

I don't really think there is any chance they would cut him, until late in the season, but if Avi is significantly outhitting him he will get more at bats. It doesn't matter what side of the plate LaRoche stands on if he isn't hitting. That being said, I do think we see a pretty sizable comeback from LaRoche this year.
