scenario Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) White Sox's lineup at Phoenix includes younger Danks PHOENIX, Ariz. - The White Sox sent a well-represented split squad to Phoenix to play Wednesday against Oakland. Wednesday's lineup has a twist, as Jordan Danks, the 6-foot-5 younger brother of Sox left-hander John Danks, will start in center field. Danks, 22, batted .325 (13-for-40) with two home runs and seven RBIs in 10 games with Class-A Kannapolis shortly after singing last August. he batted .303 in 53 at-bats for the Peoria Saguaros of the Arizona Fall League. Here's are Wednesday's lineups: WHITE SOX Lillibridge 2b Ramirez ss Quentin lf Thome dh Viciedo 3b Anderson rf Allen 1b Danks cf Stewart c Broadway p OAKLAND Buck rf Cunningham lf Sweeney cf Chavez dh Powell c Carter 1b Hannahan 3b Cardenas 2b Petit ss Eveland p Edited March 4, 2009 by scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterCopperpot Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Damn. I thought I was going to get something productive done. And now I might be boxscore watching. And didn't we trade away Aaron Cunningham? Or am I completely off on that one. Edited March 4, 2009 by ChesterCopperpot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Too bad there's no Score broadcast. It would have been interesting to see if anyone was able to get an interview with Orlando Cabrera. Doubt that would be granted to any of the Chicago media. Lots of ex-Sox in the A's line-up as well, with Cunningham and Carter...no Gio Gonzalez yet, though. Interesting to see Alexei Ramirez hitting 2nd. We'll see what Danks can do in CF. I think it's actually more interesting to hear the visiting radio sometimes because they're a lot more objective about Sox players. Lillibridge hit the ball hard off the pitcher (bad luck) and it went to the 3b apparently for the PO. Down in order, 1-2-3. As usual, Alexei picked on the first pitch and flew out, Quentin with a lazy pop-out to the SS. Edited March 4, 2009 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Jesus, Ozzie didn't leave us much for the televised game tonight. Who of interest is even left? C: Pierzynski 1B: Konerko/Broussard/Myrow 2B: Getz/Nix SS: Beckham/Santos 3B: Fields/Betemit/Castillo LF: Wise/Kroeger CF: Owens RF: Dye/Restovich I assume they'll use mostly players from minor league camp to off the bench in the day game since that's in Phoenix.

JPN366 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Aaron Cunningham is great. He'll crack Oakland's lineup sooner than you think. I've always held that he wasn't worth trading away for Danny Richar. Cunningham is a hitting machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I'm sure Myrow will have a huge impact, lol. Maybe David Cook will make an appearance...but I doubt it. I just hope we don't get creamed again so the Tribune will treat the game as if it's somehow significant in any way, shape or form. Somehow the A's announcer had the idea Broadway used to throw 94-96 but has mysteriously lost his velocity. Where that idea came from, I have no idea. Ryan Sweeney 6/10 so far on the spring. Cunningham struck out against Lance. Viciedo and Stewart are the only ones in our line-up over .200 so far. Well, that leads to the whole "pitching dominates early" lectures we hear all ST.

caulfield12 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Viciedo and Brian Anderson showed good patience and both walked, but Brandon Allen got eaten up by sliders low and away and then Danks popped up with runners on first and second. Tough match-up for Allen against the lefty, sounded like he didn't have much of a chance, didn't even foul off a ball. At least Danks made contact with all of his swings.
