The Sox have good starting pitching & Jeff Keppinger. I say they win 87-90 games. They also play the Astros!!!!

AJ got over his dislike of Ron Washington pretty quick.

I can't believe he only got 1 year from somebody.

When you look at the fact that Tyler Flowers strikes out at a 41% clip (same as Adam Dunn) you may have a change of heart about this halfway through the season.

Flowers- 56 K's in 136 AB's......Dunn 222 K's in 539 AB's



Another recent addition in the division has gone without mention.....Nick Swisher (dirty30) has signed with the Indians after about a month of discussions between the parties. Swisher will have a lot of opportunities to bite the hand that once fed him.

Beckham and De Aza avoid arbitration and are back with one year deals.

Championship.

Gordon Beckham is awful.

And I don't like the sarcastic championship thing either. This is a bad team.

Pitching can cover a lot of ills most times.

Bacon is serviceable and De Aza is very good.

No sarcasm at all. I think they'll be good again.

Your resentment of my newfound clarity is making you paranoid.

De Aza very good? No.

He is a decent outfielder.

Stay weak.

De Aza is a horrendous centerfielder. They used DeWayne Wise as a late inning replacement for him. It is unheard of to use a defensive replacement for your centerfielder. Your centerfielder is supposed to be the 2nd best defender on the field but that dumb son of a bitch is replaced by a 35 yr old 4A (yes Theo they exist) journeyman when defense matters the most.

The Sox can not go into next season with De Aza as the everyday centerfielder. It's not fair to the pitching staff to get out after out that drops in front of an awful centerfielder for hit after hit.

Well, Rios was supposed to be the CF, when they took on his contract via a waiver claim. But the Sox quickly discovered that he wasn't really adept at the position and better suited to a corner spot. Thats why Wise was often in CF when Rios was initially obtained. They have no real great option for the position, but DeAza is the best choice from amongst the current options.

Quote:
White Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto was scheduled to work with left fielder Dayan Viciedo and catcher Tyler Flowers as part of special hitting sessions in Florida sometime in mid-January. That workout was moved to the U.S. Cellular Field batting cages in Chicago and took place a couple of days before SoxFest.

Instead of Viciedo and Flowers, the group became Flowers, Brent Morel and Gordon Beckham. And Manto handed out rave reviews for what he saw from the trio.

"When I got to Chicago, I was pleasantly surprised with his (Flowers) progress," continued Manto.

"He looked great, with no reservations about swinging the bat," said Manto of Morel, who hit .177 with five RBIs in 35 games for the White Sox last season. "He had the same bat speed that I saw when I watched him in the lower Minor Leagues.

"What he put up, he can sit on those numbers. It wasn't a fluke what he did," said Manto of Viciedo. "He's going to get better once he gets the timing down.

"That's what is scary about this guy. He didn't do a lot of things right and he had those numbers. Once he calms down and understands what pitchers are doing to him, he can be a big-time impact player."
15 days til Spring Training action starts. 8) 8)

Yes.

And I'll be in section 154 Opening Day.

You and Walt can each buy me a bottled water.

Don't overdo it with the water, Seacrest. I've since learned that the Eight glasses a day thing is way too much and was probably started by Aquaman or something...
