Sox had a catcher 20 years ago named Mark Johnson. I loved his patient approach at the plate. Turns out he took a lot of pitches because he couldn't hit.

They are F***** for the time being. It's only my opinion but less than a year from now things will look a lot brighter. I'll admit it is going to be a long year.

Mark Buerhle seemed like he had back end of rotation potential too. If you can get guys out there isn't a rule that says you can't be great unless you throw 96 mph.

I think it's time to move Yolmer back to 2b. It's either that or send his ass back to Charlotte. Some one has got to get his attention and let him know he is no longer the chosen one.

I think I'll have a drink or 3 tonite.

It might be a good time to try and get Carson Kelly. Cards are down on him and he hasn't hit in the majors yet. We possibly could get him cheap and his defense is good. You never know about the bat, but his MLB hit sample is so small that he could end up being OK with the bat.

Spent 5 minutes checking player results and stats this morning. WOW !! Man are we loaded.

Gotta feeling we'll be picking 7-8. Eloy will be up soon, plus the rotation and bull pen are improving whether we bring up Kopech and Stephens or not.

I would have picked Stephens and Collins. JS is as ready for the bigs as he'll ever be.

Rodon sharp again last night. If he comes up and pitches well and we call up Stevens and Kopech, the second half of the season would be fun to watch.

Also my favorite WS. If he were traded now I probably couldn't watch an inning until we get good again.

It's interesting that Macho man is hitting so well this year. Last year he didn't do too much. He must have contract year-itis

Just my opinion but I really thought the reason Gordon got worse was that he had stopped juicing. It is really rare that a guy loses weight and muscle mass as he reaches his mid to late 20's. And that did happen with him.

That guy is the king of kicking some one when they are down. As a 50 year SOX fan I'm used to it.

Three letters DNA, P.S. Why don't you give the team a call. Maybe you guys could hold a John Burge day next season.

you're a real class act.

Please don't lump Leury in with those other guys. He's actually a fine defender at 2-3 positions including center field. If the SOX would have just put him in center on opening day instead of playing him 15 minutes a week while Engel wasted every ones time, we might have 3-4 more wins.

Give up the ghost Lillian. I think its impossible to "learn" to hit MLB pitching. You can or you can't. It's like sales.

We could give TA a month off and it wouldn't bother me a bit.

With a little luck, he might end up playing regularly for bad teams for 5-6 more years. With more luck he could be a sub for a good team for 5-6 years. He'd make more money on a bad team though. Plus, some guys can't hit when playing twice a week.

It's always darkest before the dawn. Try to stay off the ledge until late july. When Jordan Stevens,Jimenez and Kopech get here we'll still lose but there will be something to watch for.

I'm not defending Hahn, but it seems different now. Maybe behind the scenes KW is out of the way and Hahn and Hostetler are actually making the tough calls. One thing I think most would agree with is the players acquired for Sale, Eaton and Q look very good. That was the first part of the rebuild. If the next 2 drafts go well, then the second part will also be successful. the final stage will be using these stock piled players in trade to yield a talented balanced team. If this is achieved, Hahns future job will be to trade veterans to acquire our future stars and keep the ball rolling. Branch Rickey was the master of this and he was able to stay competitive for decades even with the Yankees getting the lions share of amateur talent before the draft.

Between Bummer and Fry it looks OK on the lefty side of the pen gong forward. Flores has been pitching well at WS also.
