Lilibridge now playing SS Nix in to play 2B, Alexi is out. Dye is out, Restovich to play RF. Quentin out, Kroeger to LF. Myrow playing 1B. Armstrong catching, AJ out.

Dotel and his 27.00 ERA.

Marquez and Thornton have a no-no going.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 02:38 PM) Is this on TV or radio today? No sir, I'm following the box score..

Dye - Grounds out Ramirez - Strikes out Kroeger - Strikes out

Marquez strikes out Soriano.

The Cell Wrigley Field Miller Park That's it so far.

Is it only me who doesn't like Alexei in CF? I don't think he would be that great defensively, unless it's a adjustment thing.

I saw some footage on TV today, Contereras looks in shape. Bartolo isn't too bad, the usual him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 20, 2009 -> 06:15 PM) Rogers also stated that Getz is way in the driver's seat to be the starting 2nd baseman. I like how he stated that if Getz can leadoff, then Anderson would be the starter and hit 9th. I think that's the scenario we all would like to see the most. AMEN.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2009 -> 02:02 PM) I think there was about one comment in that whole bunch that Cowley didn't turn cynical or negative. Maybe he should heed the advice Williams gave Floyd and dial it down a notch. You don't want to get into midseason form already! Typical Cowley, i forgot to add take it FWIW!

Tidbits from Cowley, mods feel free to move it if this isn't appropriate thread for it. "Flight to Phoenix is about to take off. And so the 2009 season begins." "Early reports of Camelback Ranch ... Pitchers and catchers at 9 am... Cement workers at 7 am. " "It would have been a good idea to have finished it before the start of spring, but I'm sure we'll all look tight in hard hats." "Hertz rented me a car that wasn't there. Off to a great start. Stay hot Hertz!" "Jose Contreras has lost 30 pounds and even Dotel is down 7 pounds. The old and fat rep has obviously hit home. " "Early reviews from the players are all extremely positive. " "First body in the training room ... Bartolo. Is that good? " "Carlos Quentin is looking for a new anger management technique ... other than pounding the bat on his wrist. " "Bartolo Colon said no go when asked to speak to the media on Monday. He's off to a great spring." "Jose Contreras is already playing long toss. No timetable on his return to the mound, however." "Gavin Floyd continues to impress. Enough so that Ken Williams said to Floyd: "Slow down. It's Feb. 17, not March 31." "Brent Lillibridge looks like he's 12 years old. Ozzie Guillen wasted no time pointing that out. "

QUOTE (scenario @ Feb 11, 2009 -> 11:12 PM) VORP compares a player to a league-average player at his position. EDIT: Thanks for clearing it up. I really want Orlando Hudson, at leadoff 2B, Brian Anderson CF, 9th.

VORP stands for Value over replaced player? Does that mean, Owens is projected to score 27 less runs then whoever he is replacing?

He looks to be in good shape.

How recent is that video?

Is there a way I can get opening day tickets still?

Is there any coverage from SoxFest on TV?

"But the leadoff hitter to me is not the one who can steal more bases -- that's a plus -- but the guy who can get on base the most.''

At least we are not left with a question on CF! /green

Would you guys say Colon = Javy?

I was watching the 2008 World Series on MLB network over the weekend, I saw him pitch. I feel sorry for the guy, he bough something at GNC, any kid can go and buy supplements at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. I believe him, he had no idea, and he had this cleared by two nutritionist, can't blame him for wanting to become better and buying supplements other athletes do it.
