man hands Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 You have nasty stuff and pretty much dominated the last part of the season...why are they dropping you down? Also, ask Cotts how long they are planning on keeping him in AZ fall league? I didn't know if he would be staying the whole time or if they would be limiting his innings. Thanks :begood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Neal ... is that you?? If so, welcome to the boards. What do they have you working on down there and in the Fall League? I've got no connection to you guys, i.e. I'm just a season ticket holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyMan56 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 That would be pretty sweet. Neal, if it's you post more often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 That would be pretty sweet. Neal, if it's you post more often! Hey Neal Did the Sox send you to the AFL mainly to add the cutter. If I recall Farmer mentioned something about the Sox working with you to add another pitch. Hope your having a good offseason and are enjoying yourself down in instructionals with Bull. Get yourself ready cause when you kick some butt this spring...your gonna be the Sox fifth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyMan56 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hopefully you can give us some white sox winners next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Master Buehrle Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Is this Jeff Baj****? Ohh, this might be an iffy question, but what was your impression of Jerry Manuel? It'd be nice to know another players opinion. You don't have to answer if you don't want to though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullard Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Hey Manhands, I think I know who you are. Actually I am very positive that I know who you are. Welcome to the board Jeff and Alyssa. It took you long enough Baj to start posting. Neal and I are hanging out in s***ty ass Tucson representing the Barons staff here in instructs. Neal is leaving me soon to go to the AFL. I dont know how long or how many innings he'll be pitching. I on the other hand am dropping down to a sidearm/high submarine arm slot. It is a hell of an adjustment. I have lost all the command that I possessed from the 3/4 slot and my velocity has dipped a bit as well. I am working hard to get it down and consistent so that I may get to the Bigs quick like Champ is telling me. I guess a 6'7 lefty with an above average slider, 88-90 fastball, and solid command is not what they want me to be anymore. Hope all is well in Ca. and dont be afraid to call Neal and I. We get bored easily. Peace Bull :fthecubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Hey Jim, don't know if you have read the article or heard anything about it but apparently a few Sox players are totally against having Wally Backman coach the big league team. Do you see any reason for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullard Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 It is not really a good idea for myself, nor Neal to really comment about coaches in our org. regardless if it is positve or negative. I love Wally, thats all I can really say. No matter who ends up managing (assuming JM is gonna be fired) somebody is gonna be fore the idea and others will be against it. That's human nature.

KipWellsFan Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Wait a sec. Whos Baj and is Cotts really Neal? Yes you got that right, soxtalk has Jim Bullard, Jeff Bajenaru and Neal Cotts as registered members. I'm not completely sure about Bajenaru but I guess it is.

Soxplosion Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Who is Bajenaru and this "Alyssa" that Bull speaks of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Who is Bajenaru and this "Alyssa" that Bull speaks of? Bajenaru was a reliever for the Barons this year. He was very effective and got 14 or 15 saves. I believe but am not too sure that he started the season at Winston-Salem. I could be wrong about that though.
