Can't wait for the minors to start.

Which seems to be tough for some when they put on that Sox uniform.

Last year I became a fan of the Sox A,AA teams. There's some hope there.

It's a luck thing the Sox don't have. How often was is that two of the best hitters in baseball were in the same line up?

Well history shows the Sox never land those players and the only one I remember is Belle and that didn't work out so well. There's plenty of sports teams who get burned in free agency.

An embarrassment to what? They don't hand out special privileges or trophies to fans. This kind of stuff is nonsense. What is better off without you mean? Empty seats? It's a sport not a religion.

Odd. I portray them as suck.

I prefer the Ranger stadium in Surprise. My first ST game was at the Peoria stadium and it was wet and like 58, I felt like a Bears-Packers game was gonna break out. My neck hurt for 3 days from those seats. My ST experiences are not the best and it doesn't bother me if I ever go. I love the Fall League at the Ranch.

Well he's not getting his number yet.

I don't think it's good for a player to be holding out for the right contract when basically the season has started.

That is the best form of shade at the Ranch.

It's a different kind of 70 in the desert. I found CB Ranch to be uncomfortable in the 80's.

And not one of them faced AL pitching or faced AL hitters....

Wayne Nordhagen musta been before your time.

Our luck Manny would have gotten injured.

I really think the Sox should get organization guys that work in the Cardinal system.

Ricketts did it right. He got people from winning organizations. Their scouting is very good. We were lucky to fleece them of two good prospects for Q. Plus there is some luck involved when hitting on draft choices. Some don't remember the Sox where a hot product in the 80's. Before the days of online ticket sales, our family would drive over 60 miles to the park to get tickets and had to go back home.

The problem is ownership is content with that. You can't fix that.

That market rate was $300M guaranteed. Who knew and only one team offered that. Free agency didn't linger this long at one time.

Last season I started watching the farm system. It's a lot more fun.

I'd be afraid to give him more not knowing how he will play in the AL. The Sox seem to have bad luck in that regard.

I wouldn't cheer for the Cubs but I'm envious of their organization. They are superior to the Sox. Two young studs in our organization were former Cub products.

People who say they got lucky in 2005 needs to be punched in the nuts.

So far Soxtalk has not broken the internet.

It's been that way for a long time when it comes to player development. You try to get the best executives/instructors from other winning organizations. The buddy system doesn't work.
