Quick question, isn't this the same injury that Phil Nevin suffered? What is the difference in severity, etc? I'm don't really have a clue. I know they said he popped it back in. I've seen football player just pop it in and then they play, but I'm assuming that isn't possible with baseball players because it can just pop back out or something? Or is it if its more serious, then you need surgery and if its less serious, no surgery is necessary? All you need is rest. Either way, I think he will miss some time. It was just a tough play all around. Hustle play by the Blue Jays catcher trying to get the out, and it was Jeter hustling like he does best, advancing to 3rd.

I utter your sentiments exactly. I think Jose gets overhyped and is inconsistent, but I give him credit for always hustling, etc. Defensively he's inconsistent (One day awesome, next day, uggh). Offensively he goes through huge up and down periods and if he could just stop chasing stuff in the dirt, he'd be alright. In general, I would love having a new shortstop that could field better and would be a more prototypical 2 hitter, but I'll live with Jose as long as he isn't approaching 30 errors. If he has more then that, I'll be sick. Of course if were winning, it will be a semi antacid. Its just in the world series, it gets tough to score runs, so you need every great play possible. The team that plays worse defense, typically loses come playoff time. Especially in the close games.

Disagree, that is a great idea. Jose simply cannot hit left handed pitching while Graffanino is very solid offensively against lefties and very solid all together as long as he isn't starting. If he's starting, then he tires and his numbers just drop. This is a great move by Manuel. Is he going to hit in the two hole these days or will Rowand move to the 2 hole on these days? I'm also assuming we will see Daubach get quite a few at bats.

Well I saw Ray hit a leadoff homer to start in national league career and he also had a base hit his following at bat.

Thats why Mark Cuban has made a surprise attempt to purchase the White Sox. And in a shocking move, he has boughten the New York Yankees as the new AAA club of the Chicago White Sox

Ya. I know one thing, I feel much more comfortable now then I did before. Andrews knows what he's talking about and if he only needs rest, then I'm comfortable with that diagnosis and believe Wright will be just fine.

SN Report: Wright Meets Andrews, Surgery Not Needed By Mario Scalise April 1, 2003 SoxNet.net The White Sox received some good news on Monday shortly after right-hander Danny Wright met with Dr. James Andrews to check the severity of his elbow injury, and that was no surgery is neccessary, just rest. Andrews, a well-known orthopedist who has done many reconstructive elbow surgies (Tommy John), said Wright has a strained ligament, meaning all Wright can do is rest. White Sox trainer Herm Schneider said afterwards that because his ligament is in tact, they can begin the process of getting Wright back in form. Though, there is no set return date, replacement Josh Stewart is expected to make at least two starts, hinting a possible return by Wright towards the end of the month. Apparently Wright, 25, injured his elbow in the early part of spring training by overthrowing. Wright went 14-12 last year for the Sox with a 5.18 ERA in 33 starts and 196 1/3 innings pitched. He came into spring as the number four starter behind Mark Buehrle, Bartolo Colon and Jon Garland.

I think everyone was just real high up for the start of the season and getting shutdown by a poor Royals ballclub bothered people. Still its just one game. If two weeks from now were still winless, then we'll all have something to whine about.

What we are going to do is keep this board in a read only mode somehow. We haven't figured out all the minor details, but we'll keep it around so people can go back and read through the old archives and such. Then I'm going to backup everything, and save it on my computer as well, in case anything happens. After that I will save the post totals and do all I can to transfer them. I'm gonna be fiddling with the new boards tomorrow, so I'll have an idea of what I can do sometime tomorrow and will post it in this thread. If for some reason that can't be done, I'll try to come up with another idea, to serve as a reference to the posts on this board, something creative. Hopefully it won't come to that, cause I suck at being creative.

Sweet, the season is upon us.

I think we will be surprised.

Wade is damn good. Carmello or Wade, I'm happy. They are going to trade Jay Williams in the offseason, or thats what I'm hoping. Trade Williams for a guard. Maybe they package Williams and a high pick for a real good sg/sf.

I'm here. Slept in, now I'm ready.

That sounds good to me Southsider

no way, they have some good young arms and some decent bats...while not great, nowhere near the lack of talent found on the staffs of kc or tampa, or maybe even milwaukee kc's rotation is a joke, and tampa bay is a major league team made up of basically AAA players, so i think a 3 game series with our AAA team would be pretty interesting. how bad is tampa's AAA team considering all their players are on the big league roster? lol The Padres will be ugly, but this is a year for development for them. They do have quite a few very talented prospects, both position wise (Xavier Nady, Sean Burroughs, Vazquez) and pitching wise.

Lol. You should just drive to Chicago and watch the game. Depending on where you live, that should give you enough time to make it to the stadium as well as kill time.

This is the best defensive team the Sox have fielded in the past 5 years or so. Not saying its awesome, but its far better then what we've been used to.

Whooooo. ITS TIME FOR THIS YEARS SOON TO BE WORLD CHAMPS to beat the crap out of the Royals

I still think that comment to Jose was freaking hillarious

I learned to like him a lot, but I still believe he needs some time in AAA to prove himself. If he can do similar things to last year in AAA, then he'll earn his shot with the Sox and may be the starting 2nd baseman next year with Jimenez at short.

San Diego. THe key is the Sox don't know what they have in Burke and they don't know whether Olivo is ready. They also know there is a good chance that Alomar gets hurt, so if Olivo isn't ready, Burke is a ? then at least you have a guy in Paul that is familiar with the pitching and is alright. He's not absolutely worthless and I do believe the Padres or a few other teams would consider picking him up. Miles still has to play in AAA, imo. Then once he does that and proves himself, then can he go onto the next step and try to prove himself once again. I liked what I saw from him, but his numbers definately fell later in spring. Is that a sign of him hitting a slump or is it a sign that when he started facing better pitching he was overmatched? It may be neither, I wasn't there watching every game so I can't tell.

Sounds to me like Wally Backman is a lot like my favorite manager in the majors, Mike Scioscia. Would that be an accurate assessment Rex? Seems like a lot of hit and runs, steals, and he preaches contact and obp?

Well, there isn't going to be any value for a 33 year old AAA er and typically they won't be taking someone elses spot. They are there in a reserve type roll, usually doing some relief or pinch hitting.
