BFirebird Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) That being said...I like the fact that we actually have some options and players that can play multiple positions effectively. Edited March 17, 2010 by BFirebird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 04:56 PM) Players were probably voting based on reputation. Ozzie can't make an evaluation himself? Buncha balogna, I say. Putting Jones at one of the corners and DHing either Jones or Quentin wouldn't be a bad idea, though. Lyons actually said Oz said disregard all history, who is the best player right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeFabregas Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) These pretzels are making me angry. Honestly, seems like a cop-out by a manager. Edited March 17, 2010 by JorgeFabregas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) Beckham finally got his double play chance. How did he look? Had one yesterday too. Didn't see today's, but yesterday's... Relayed a throw from Lexi to 1st. Good solid throw right on the money. Looked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Jones wants very badly to get regular outfield playing time. I read an article interviewing him a couple of weeks ago talking about it... Has a chip on his shoulder and wants to prove he's still "got it". Personally, I think Jones in CF and Rios in RF might be absolutely brilliant from a defense point of view.

daggins Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 What if our optimal alignment ends up with Jones in left and Pierre DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised to see that on the lineup card quite a few times this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think Jones in CF and Rios in RF might be absolutely brilliant from a defense point of view. If they're both earning it with both the bat and glove and Q can keep his head straight while playing DH...I'm not going to complain as long as everyone stays healthy.

Balta1701 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hey, a 123 inning for Linebrink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I don't think I have ever seen a spring training where the main Sox pitchers (the guys who will break camp in the big leagues) have pitched so well. The entire rotation is looking solid, especially Floyd/Peavy. The bullpen looks great except for Jenks and Liney. But even Liney is starting to look better. Very excited for April.

Chisoxfn Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 02:37 PM) The 27th... and it's hardly a bonanza haha Dang, won't be able to make it. I'm going to be in AZ for my bachelor party. I'll get you a beer at a Sox/Angels game this year. And I will still refer to it as your bonanza.

South Side Fireworks Man Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 04:49 PM) Lyons said apparently Ozzie asked the players who the best CF was and they said Jones. I guess Ozzie would have to ask the players about who is the best CFer with Ozzie's track record on centerfielders. Oz has shown that he has little eye for talent as far as CF defense is concerned.

I read Peavy's stat line but was he dominant/overpowering or just very efficient today? I saw the Dodgers has most of their starting lineup in for the 5 inning he pitched which is really good.
