Is this Kenney guy well regarded as far as baseball rumors go?

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Good get this idiot out of here. If I got paid $13M to do a job and utterly and embarrassingly failed I would be damn sure to work my ass off next opportunity. Leave your kid at home, shut your mouth, and get in the cage until you figure out how to hit again. All there is to it. And why would you want your kid there anyway? Any locker room setting I've ever been in was no place for a kid. Just because Laroche chooses to live his life a certain way doesn't mean everyone else does. I'm sure there were a lot of guys who felt uncomfortable knowing there was a 14 year old within ear shot at all times. These are my feelings in a nutshell as well. Nice post.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 03:09 PM) Austin Jackson double off Garza. Probably won't be on tv because Tigers/Astros still going. Do you think they'll put it on after that current game is over? I really want to see Rodon.

This is a really stupid question, but does LaRoche's kid go to any type of schooling? I understand wanting to be in a Major League clubhouse with your dad, but the kid was getting really annoying.

QUOTE (Coach @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:40 AM) Eaton does not have the arm for RF If he's healthy, he does IMO. I just don't know how bad his injury will hurt his throwing.

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 06:52 AM) I don't really understand the Morneau talk. As I see it, with LaRoche gone, the Sox now have four outfielders fighting for three starting spots, plus the DH position, and that's not counting whoever makes the team as the fourth outfielder (Shuck or Sands). So that would be Jackson in CF, Eaton in RF/LF and either Cabrera or Garcia in RF/LF with the other acting as the team's primary DH. Unless Avi gets moved, where would Morneau fit on the roster? My ideal scenario would be to sign Morneau as the DH and backup 1st baseman, and then have Melky in LF, Jackson in CF, and Eaton in RF. Avi could then be the backup DH and 4th outfielder. When Avi plays in the field, shift Eaton to center and put Jackson on the bench as a defensive replacement. When Morneau sits against lefties, let Avi DH in those games. Seems simple enough.

raBBit also pointed out Daniel Vogelbach, Jonathan Singleton, Oswaldo Arcia, and Jesus Montero as potential fits.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 03:16 PM) Justin Morneau will never sign with the White Sox, ever. Even if we were the last team on Earth. Not happening. If the Sox were the only team offering him millions of dollars, he absolutely would come here (assuming that he still wants to play).

I like the Morneau idea much more than Bruce. He'd be much cheaper in terms of money and prospects, and he has proven that he can hit in the AL Central.

I don't mean to sound like a douche, but...YES, YES, YES!!!

I'm surprised they just released Olt like that. I was assuming that he'd be in AAA for depth purposes.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 11:21 AM) Yes. I doubt many teams would claim him and roster him on their 25 though and pay him $1.5 million. Thanks. I have a feeling he'll make the team then, as I don't see the Sox paying him $1.5 million to play in AAA.

This is a dumb question, but if Turner ends up in Charlotte after Spring Training ends, the Sox would still have to pay him the $1.5 million deal in which he agreed to, right?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) Got my first job last week. Crew member at Culver's. Pretty groundbreaking stuff Do you get free concrete mixers/food now since you work there?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 07:07 AM) You know what’s weird? I’m predicting a mid-career renaissance for Michael Beasley. He’s going to wind up the better player than Derrick Rose. Watch. hahahahahaha

Am I the only one that cringes every time Steve Stone says "Frazier"?

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) I know it's only ST, but Johnson looks more and more like a AAAA pitcher. Add Daniel Webb to this list as well.

Nice AB by Saladino in that inning.

WTF was that?

Johnson blows. The Sox need more pitching depth.

I wonder if Hawk, Stone, and Benetti will ever be in the booth at the same time towards the end of the season if the Sox are in contention.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 02:26 PM) Cause he is, and I'm pretty sure the organization agrees Lol, true. I've never seen much to like from him honestly.

Johnson looks terrible.

I'm very excited to hear Benetti for the first time. I'll be rooting for him to do well and hopefully call Sox games for a long time.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) Pirates sign Freese. $3 million guaranteed. Nice deal for Pittsburgh IMO.
