James Shilelds: I have nothing to prove. I think my career speaks for itself. I definitely want to prove to #WhiteSox fans who I really am

 

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 6m6 minutes ago Shields: "That’s not the first time I’ve had a rough season. I’ve been in the game a long time and I know how to come back from that."

On Moncada:

 

There are a lot of guys I've seen whose jumps were exponential," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. "I think he could potentially be one of those guys. We hope so, as with all of the other young players.

"It's a matter of how we present whatever we want to present to him. Hopefully we find the right words and context and show him physically. We can do some things to show him. We've talked about that. He's a bright young man.

 

Wonder what he bases that on???

I already like renteria better than robin. Ventura would have sad something like...

 

"Um. Yea, you know - talented kid. He's just got to play today and we'll see. But, yea. Good kid."

I see that as being easily coachable and quick to respond to instruction.

 

What else would "bright" mean in the context of a baseball prospect?

What an odd thing to question. What is wrong with that statement versus any of the other ones Renteria made?
