Guest wsc425 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Nearly half way through spring training, here is my picks: Buehrle Colon Garland Loazia Heredia.-Stewart isn't ready yet. Worried about Danny's elbow. Koch Gordon White Marte Wunsch Munoz Konerko Jimenez Valentin Crede Olivo Lee Harris Ordonez Thomas. I feel MUCH better now that I have seen Harris in CF. I haven't seen Aaron yet, so as of now, this is what I think the lineup will be. So here is my lineup: Jimenez Valentin Thomas Ordonez Konerko Lee Crede Olivo Harris DL: Dan Wright-If the inflammation is worse than anticipated. Aaron Rowand-Haven't seen him in centerfield, yet. Whats urs ladies and germs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles, i dunno...haven't seen him play. I base my decisions on A.) Phil Rodgers' and my talks B.) My scouting reports C.) The other scouting reports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Miles has no chance in 03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox247 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Looks about right. Rowand should be in center though. Rauch and Wright, at LEAST one of them is gonna be in there. I would also like to see Miles make it, Im starting to really like that kid. HSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Miles has no chance in 03 what makes you think that ..hes lookin much better than jimenez is right now.........thats gotta account for something............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon HSC, D'Ang is KW's boy, unless he dies the field, he'll be leading off and playing second in 2003. Without your obvious bias towards aaron, do you truly believe that JM would choose Miles over Jimenez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 JM has been talking about Miles, and his fight for the final bench spot against Harris, not about beating Jimenez, willie can play 2 positions, he has ML experience, and even AAA experience, he's fast and younger than Miles, which is why it's gonna be an uphill battle for him to even get a bench spot.

IlliniKrush Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I don't like how Sandy is named the starting catcher before spring training starts...what is that crap? Let them battle it out, as everyone else is supposed to do. And it's not like Alomar is some proven all star. If anything, he's certainly declining while Olivo is on the way up, so let's see what they've both got in this point in time. What if Alomar hits .150 in spring and Olivo hits .350? Is Alomar still your catcher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I'm going out on Wednesday and will watch Miles closely. Will report when I get back on 3/19. The thing is, Jimenez has more experience than Miles. Manuel had talked about Miles, but he's also talked about Jimenez. Miles is intriguing, but so far in his career, he hasn't shown he draws enough walks to be a leadoff hitter, and that's what the Sox need ... that's what they think Jimenez can do ... Jimenez has shown patience at the plate. Miles only drew 40 walks last year in over 500 at bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a watch and time him from contact made to first base. D. Watch his feet on ground balls. Do they look wrong? E. His passion of the game. F. Comparison of him to another MLB player.

soxfan420 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Olivo hasnt been hitting at all this spring. and im interested on how he is handling the pitchers. my best bet would be sandy has a starter. he will hit .280 and he know how to handle a pitching staff. while he is healthy.
