QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:59 PM) W-S announced their rotation: Dykstra, Fry, Leyer, Bucciferro, Heidenreich That means Wheeler and Clark both to the pen, which surprises me a bit. Trexler should be starting for Kanny. Brewster and Mitchell in their pen I'd think. Barnette not sure, marginal guy. This irks me. They both should be starting.

Please score now.

Have we had a clean inning all year yet?

Oh. My. God. Ring him up.

LaRoche is gonna hit a bomb right here.

Let's get Q a W when he has a bad game lol. And for the sake of my fantasy team.

Avi killed that

Also, where is Ben Brewster, Tyler Barnette, and David Trexler? Also, looks like Andrew Mitchell is repeating A ball.

Couple things: Love the aggressiveness for Brian Clark at WS. I really like him as a sleeper prospect. 2nd, I'm pretty sure Merkin said that Adams is for sure going to Kanny.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 02:42 PM) Barrett isnt going into the draft, he's barely playing this year if at all. I love Connor Cook's game. I do as well, however, I think with a better supporting cast, Hackenberg will be the #1 QB next year. Hackenberg Cook Jones Boykin Prescott

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 02:38 PM) I just think there are just as many good QB's available next year and would like to wait if possible. The Bears have so many holes. I agree completely. JT Barrett, Cardale Jones, Connor Cook, Christian Hackenberg, Boykin kid from TCU. I honestly like all 5 of them more than Mariota.

Well, in case you didn't hear, Mike Mayock just put Mariota as his #1 QB ahead of Winston. He explains why at 7pm on NFL Network.

0-15 RISP

Well back to the game. Scattered storms only at 40% at 8, 55% at 9 and 35% at 10. It's really hit or miss it looks like.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) He's one of the biggest mysteries to me in the system in that regard. Drafted 5th round and highly considered. Was terrible defensively at SS, so they moved him to 3B. They promoted him to A ball in 2013 and he hit .190 with no power. Scout sort of hinted to me in 2013 he really flopped, and I kind of write him off to be honest. Then, they promoted him to W-S anyway for 2014, and he improved a lot at the plate (.263 AVG, 7 HR, didn't walk much but made some contact). That was a surprise. Then when Ravelo elected winter ball over AFL, Basto took the AFL slot despite being just 20... and played first base, which he had never done before. Put up an .856 OPS in the AFL, though in pretty small sample size (41 PA). I don't know what to make of the guy, to be honest. He's still just barely 21 with only about 1.5 seasons' worth of pro games. Defensively he's not a SS at all, not sure about 3B either, and doesn't seem to have a ton of power for 1B. But the Sox keep challenging him. If I remember correctly, he was also playing a little bit of LF and RF a little bit down at WS.

Man, the Twins are going to be BAD this season.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 01:10 PM) Basto is going to Winston (he told me), so he's out. Richmond said he broke his ankle in camp, out until May, so obviously not him. Sent a note to Jirschele, waiting to hear back. Don't have contact info for Delmonico. I like Basto in WS, he'll only be 21 I believe. Are the Sox high on him?

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 54s54 seconds ago Crystal ball very murky, but if I had to wild-guess on @Astros right now at 2 & 5 I'd go with Dansby Swanson & Kyle Tucker. @MLBDraft

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:35 AM) As long as it doesn't injure him, I actually think Hawk will justify it. I agree, as long as its in the center of the back, and not the ribs, knees or head, I'll be fine with it too. We can definitely tell if it will be intentional because Duffy is a lefty.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:12 AM) Join the club. Maybe it will be today, which would be refreshing. More likely things will finish up tomorrow, if history is a guide. Quick question. Yency Almonte, Kannapolis? What do you think? I'm actually intrigued by his upside.

It would be great if rosters came out so I can update my spreadsheet.

Must win game

First game thread of the year. Let's get a W. Will edit post with lineups.

Lagos got absolutely rocked in his Marlins debut. 7ER in 2/3 of an inning.
