Gillaspie hit a home run yesterday on his way to Spring Training MVP. His ceiling is Bryce Harper.

Better to hope for this than Dontrelle Willis and Brett Jackson

Sox have the starting pitching. If they have health most of the year, they could be a playoff team.

Took 3 posts for the Sox championship thread to mention the Cubs. .

and 6 for a Cub fan to post. Piss off sister. We don't want your loser stink jinxing our championship run.

And actually RFDC was the 2nd post in the thread

Seats are going quickly now on the Gillaspie Bandwagon.

Both teams in this city needed a low cost 3B. One team has a brilliant young GM who found his player of the future. The other resigned Ian Stewart.

Keeping Score and I will bring up the rear.

Was this guy considered any kind of significant prospect with the Giants?

I just read a couple reports that said he is a singles hitter who is an above average--but not great--fielder. The reports indicated his career trajectory will land him somewhere between Wade Boggs and Todd Walker, leaning heavily towards the latter. That's OK I guess. He was a supplemental pick (#37) in 2008 and was expected to be available later in the draft.

Agreed. And since Stewart worked out so well last year, it made sense to resign him.

Of course, I guess him being out and/or bad allows to you lose more games and get a better draft pick.

Think of him as a younger left handed hitting version of Jeff Keppinger. A solid but unspectacular player.

He will never reach the level of Keppinger.

Who could?

LH bottom of the order hitter with a nice OBP who can play third base is exactly what this white sox team needed at the beginning of spring break. They have enough power throughout the lineup. They need someone to get on base in front of that power.
