QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 06:15 PM) Black Prancer That's along the lines of what I was thinking though I do like Frowens even if it doesn't have anything to do with Pods.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 05:27 PM) Uribe has hit his ceiling and is older and overpaid, yet should play, but an improving month by month rookie with alot of upside for league minimum is bad. Logic is fun. Wouldn't agree that Uribe has hit his ceiling. Outside of Anderson he's had the best ST of any Sox player. I know he's had good springs before then sucked but it wouldn't be unheard of for a player like him to have a breakout season.

Lineup I'd love to see opening day since Fields is gone. Swisher LF Cabrera SS Quentin DH Konerko 1b Dye RF Anderson CF Ramirez 2B Pierzynski C (actually considered Hall for an all righty lineup but just couldn't do it. Crede 3B

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 04:18 PM) any other long relief candidates? I'd be fine with seeing MacDougal in that role til he proves he's a setup guy again. Carrasco ?

It's official almost 81 % of Soxtalk ,as represented by a whole 26 voters, would rather see "other" as our backup catcher.

As long as it's not The Flash in the pan I like it.

Things have cleared up in the last few days. Uribe is still a Sox. Richar is on the DL and Ramirez will be on the 25 man roster getting AB's in whatever capacity the club sees fit.

Every time this spring I've seen Uribe get a hit it seems to be to the right side. Is it possible that someone told him to forget about power and just do what you do well ? He seems to be pretty good at going the opposite way.

I remember an exercise my high school baseball coach made us do for wrists and forearms. He had a weight (less than a lb.) tied on about a 2ft. string attached to what basically was a shortened broom handle. With the weight hanging down and our hands palm down we would have to roll it up then roll it back down.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 03:54 PM) Glad to see my thread starting abilities are getting warmed up too. Lucky I was off today or this thread might have been dead.

Final : Sox 4 Rockies 1. Egbert gives up a run in the 9th.

Sox/Cubs on WGN saturday

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) If memory serves me right this is the third runner BA has thrown out this spring. 3rd HR and 3rd assist.

Josh 3 hits today.

scoreless innings from Linebrink, Dotel, Jenks in 6th, 7th and 8th.

BA just nailed a guy at home trying to score frome 3rd on a fly ball.

Linebrink 1 scoreless inning. Dotel pitching the 7th.

BA 2-3 with a K playing LF. HR and single.

Javy's line. 5 innings , 0 runs, 1 hit , 7 k's , 0 walks.

Linebrink in. Javy in the booth now.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:47 AM) I do hope that Brian Anderson makes the Sox take him up north and become the CFer this season. I love Quentin, but I could handle him in AAA/off the bench this year and next, so long as he's getting quite a few PAs between DH, LF, and RF. If Anderson does finally put it up this year and become a CFer, that instantly takes the OF defense from slow and among the worst in the league to one of the best units. Swish-Anderson-Dye looks like average to above average range in the corners with outstanding range in center, with strong arms on all of them, and then Quentin is on the bench and he's a good defensive corner too. I'd love it. I don't necessarily hope Owens stays injured, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for the future of this franchise if he did and Anderson become a legitimate CFer. in 100% agreement .

7 k's in 4 1/3 .

Vaz starting the 5th.

oppo too went to right !

6 K's now end of 4th 2-0 Sox.
