The question is whether they move him to the rotation or not. If they move him to the rotation he'll be back in a ball, otherwise he'll likely start off in AA. They are definately jumping him through quickly, and it would probably be wisest to start him off in high a, and then move him to AA early on, but that probably won't happen.

All I'm saying is he'd of been one awesome pick up for 300 k a year or so. This is a guy that throws innings, is known to be clutch, and would really fit in great giving Wright time to get healthy and if Loiaza fell back down to earth we'd have tons of depth. Damn, that would of been sweet.

Livan was one of those guys I would of loved getting. Man, that was a great deal by the Expos.

Ya, but Jim Parque had the same problem after surgery. Maybe Mike aught to call up the Drays. I don't know why I'm so mean with my comments about Porzio, but I swear every time I watch him pitch he gets hammered. I really do wish him all the best though and hope my buddy Gary is right on and that he eventually wins the Cy Young!!!!!!!

Greg, if I end up going to one of those games I'm gonna be looking for ya Hopefully I'll be getting a call soon from one of my buddies thats dad usually gets tickets to it every year from his company. I love watching college basketball.

Cubs will only do good if someone steps up and both their rotation and bullpen are lights out. I could see it out of the rotation, but I doubt I'll see it out of the bullpen. Oh ya, they'll need some big time step ups offensively as well.

With hitters, you can be a little worried, but with pitchers, you don't look too much into their stats if they have proven themselves before. Pitchers era's can be overstated big time and it could just be they were working on another pitch or whatever. They will all have their blowups, especially in spring.

Ya, but Baggs, I hope none of them turn out like your guy Porzio. I got nothing against him, and I do feel sorry cause he's pretty much out of luck in the White Sox organization with all the good lefties coming up.

Don't be, its just the fact that he can't throw a curveball or a slider in the thin air of Arizona. It will be all good once he's at the cell.

Sometimes the boards get a little harsh, but its all in good love.

Greg, you better hope that Kansas doesn't play in the finals so you can see the Sox home opener As far as Rios goes, he's a lefty that was signed on to replace Liefer. He's been alright with other teams, but I think he's a pretty solid role player and can play any outfield position and has some decent pop. I think he could hit .265-.275 off the bench with some pop (Much better then Liefer). Daubach has played pretty good in spring and is a definate option, especially if the Sox decided to move Lee as Daubach could come in and provide a lefthanded bat. He hits with power and should get quite a few ab's off the bench. He's probably one of the best guys on the bench in the majors. Of course the Twinkies got loads of talent on their bench. This team will contend and they will go all the way this year, barring serious injuries. I really like the entire makeup and the mood seems to be right. They aren't great defensively, but are improved and offensively they rock but pitching wise they got a great bullpen and a great rotation if Wright is alright. Wright and Garland will have very good years (16 wins a each or so ) and then you have two likely 20 game winners at the front end. Flash is a game as long as he's healthy. If he's hurt we have Stewart, Munoz, Sanders and Almonte all in the minors ready to step up if needed. We also have Ginter whose been lights out during spring training down in AAA. I really like our chances, we got depth in every area so if a guy goes down, we'll have a way to replace him (may not be as good, but still good teams have depth)

He's got the fact that he was a first round pick to rush him up. If he pitches lights out, he'll shoot by a lot of guys. We may have 3 lefty relievers on the southside next year in Marte, Munoz, and Ring. I don't think Wunsch is bad either, so we'll have plenty of good battles. This season is going to rock

Ya, thats my job If it was up to Mario, we'd have no boards. I'm the same way though. As long as people stay clean with eachother its all good. Like you two even though your going back and forth, seem to be able to handle all that rage the two of you throw out, so it ain't our business to get in the way.

Heck ya I'd take Tai Streets, but only for like one or two of our comp picks.

Close means public transitable, I doubt I'll be driving. Any suggestions are certainly appreciated. You can hitch the subway from pretty much anywhere, and thats the best way to go to the park if your in the city.

Your just a phone call away from the majors

Wow this went waaaaaaayy off topic, and got extra hostile.

Chris, I know he's one of your guys and I hope he comes through. This will be a big year for him cause if he does things right, he'll be in the Southside next year.

"a 1 in 2 innings"? a hit thats what I meant to say, lol. Been a long day.

Chisoxfn, Since you live very near Anaheim Stadium, I'll assume you've been there more than once. Where's a good place to sit? I've been to 2 games there, so I really don't know a whole lot about it. I want to get my Sox/Halos tix ordered soon so I don't have to worry about getting them later. Any input is appreciated. Oh ya, last year went to like 25 games. Umm, pretty much any seat is a good one as long as your near the field. Upper deck isn't too steap and if you sit somewhere between the bases your set. If your in the outfield, its difficult to see all parts of the field. The family zone is good if you want to go cheaper. Terrace and Field are both really nice though.

Oops meant to say he gave up a 1 in 2 innings.

At Anaheim Stadium it is real easy, the ushers walk down the aisles and give them to you, otherwise you can find them in holders all around the stadium.

Stewart and Rauch are the two they are looking at. I don't think Heredia has much of a chance but who knows. They expected to already know whether he would be sticking around. I'd also count Matt Ginter as a possible starter if things get out of hand. Hopefully we won't have to worry about these things. Oh ya, I'll mention Felix Diaz as well. The one thing I like is that the Sox aren't going to have to rush many prospects anymore, which means the pitchers and hitters can take their time in the minors, making adjustments, etc.

I think the Sox lost 4-2. Koch gave up his first run of the spring in the ninth, although he didnt pitch bad. I think Loiaza start and gave up 3 runs in the first. Danny Wright through 2 innings and gave up a hit. Most people seem to be having trouble with real so who knows. Tomorrow I'll try updating everyone on most of the game since I won't be at work or busy with school stuff (At least i hope I won't)

I couldn't find it either Steff. They must of removed it.
