Humber is getting lit up by Sox minor leaguers. Brandon Short homered off him, and they've scored at least 4 runs in one inning.

 

I'm not going to second guess this...if they don't push Humber back to April 9th, they are stupid. They need to lean on the top 4 while Peavy is out.

I mean, yeah, he had 1 bad inning after 2 strong innings.

I posted this yesterday and then never came back to the thread but what happened to putting the starters out there the last week of the season to get in a groove and be ready for the season??????????

 

Has the Opening day lineup played in one game this spring?

 

I understand spring means nothing to this organization but slow starts and finishes are the norm and they are doing nothing to change that.

 

The only consistent hitters that are somewhat guaranteed for this season are Dunn and Konerko and age could get the better of both of them. This team could easily hit .180 or .300 in April.

I don't think we've seen the expected everyday lineup for a while now. According to Yahoo: SS Alexei Ramirez (back spasms) was scratched from the March 28 game. He was expected to be ready for Opening Day.

I feel that comparing with other teams the Sox actually had the 'regulars' playing a LOT during the spring.

Another fine Ozzie Guillen spring training.

 

 

 

 

And yes, I'm kidding around and don't care about spring training results.

The state of our minor league systems contributed alot to that record. They are simply terrible.

Looks like one of two things is going on here.

 

1.) He's exclusively working on a pitch and is thus getting beat around

or

2.) I was totally wrong and Humber is a total long shot to even give us a 4.5 ERA for 5 starts.

 

We shall see.

 

/me twittles fingers. :)

 

muahahaha
