Eminor3rd

QUOTE (TomSeaverFan @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 06:05 PM) Anybody worried Paulie's hitting too well this spring? Is he wasting the power in meaningless spring games? My dad used to worry about stuff like that so I guess it's been passed on to me. Wasting his power?

Welp. Some righty just took Sale WAY deep to left.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 04:25 PM) Sale still out there for the 6th? Wow. I guess it is March 11th already, and he seems to have been efficient. Wish we could see his pitch count.

BOT 5: Sanchez singles, Danks GIDP, Beckham singles sharply into left, Dunn flies out to CF

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 03:58 PM) He will be until the end, at least. Is he out of options? Is that how we got him?

Eric Young flies out to the track in LF. Jared Mitchell made a very nice over-the-shoulder catch.

Konerko out somehow. (I missed it ) Sale back in for the 4th to face the top of the lineup.

Dunn with a towering pop out to LF. Konerko up with 2 outs, Beckham still on first.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 03:49 PM) He's not having a good spring. Indeed, and Tekotte is still around.

Danks picked off third by the C

Beckham with a bloop single, scoring Sanchez.

Jordan Danks walks. Runners on the corners, none out for Beckham.

Angel Sanchez triples into the RF corner to lead off the bottom of the 3rd

THAT is a nasty slider.

Carlos Sanchez got a very aggressive ranking (#64) on Marc Hulet's 2013 top 100 list over at Fangraphs: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/f...00-prospects-2/

Marc Hulet's top 100 list came out today on Fangraphs, and includes a HUGE surprise. Courtney Hawkins is at #63, but check out #64: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/f...00-prospects-2/

I think we have the "goods" without Sale to come up with an acceptable offer, but I DON'T think we have enough to avoid being outbid.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 04:43 PM) Let's just hope that Alexei can improve on his OBP. I understand that he was dealing with a very sore wrist after the collision with de Aza, but how does that explain taking just 16 walks, and having an OBP of .287? I saw a stat on Fangraphs that had Alexei as among the worst in the Majors last year at swinging at pitches out of the zone.

You'd have to get more than Alexei is currently worth on the market given he had a horrible season last year. If the Cardinals want to pay what he's worth if he regresses, then you can think about it. But the team would revolt, too. It's an obvious downgrade for this season.

I heard somewhere that they were trying to get 4 or 5 years for $30m.

Snodgress getting knocked around a bit. 4-4 tie with 2 out in the 8th, runner on second.

Nate Jones retires the side in order. 4-2 Sox in the 7th.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 03:41 PM) Beckham? Or flowers? Beckham. Flowers stuck out looking.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 03:03 PM) I tuned in to see a replay of the RBI single, but did Beckham hurt himself running home? Beckham singles, drives in Konerko but Tank gets gunned at home.

Konerko singles to right, Viciedo doubles to left-center. No out, runners on 2nd and 3rd, T Flow up to bat.
