last season I tracked almost every Xander at bat like an obsessed lunatic. Who will it be this season....

WMB needs to get it going. I hope this early season slump doesn't screw him up mentally into a free fall.

Jeter's range is just laughable at this point.

I have to admit, for someone who wasn't very high on Middlebrooks, I'm kind of giddy at the idea of him cutting down on the strikeouts and becoming a .270/.320/.470-type hitter. Agree. The good thing is come Monday we get to see how it starts to play out. Can't wait. I'd sign up for 2012 WMBs in a heartbeat. the kid has serious power too. Just plate discipline has always been an issue.

let's hope this losing trend doesn't carry on into the regular season.

I was expecting Gonzo to mash 50 homers at Fenway. Yea....I was a little wrong.

He better get his ass in gear before the season starts. I'm not too worried about a little ST slump. The kid raked in the world series as a 20 year old. He'll be fine.

I obviously don't care about winning ST games. It would be nice to have a respectable record though. Seeing as how a couple seasons ago we started off absolutely horrible soon after losing our last 10 ST games.

Vazquez threw a guy out stealing that caused Bradford to just start laughing. I look forward to seeing it on the replay tonight. (They did also mention that he threw one pickoff attempt about 10 feet wide of first against BC.) Sounded like Britton was dealing during his appearance. laughing because the throw sucked, or it was nasty?

It shows that MLB Network will be showing this game at 8 pm tonight. Will it be blacked out locally?

they said days ago the starters would play the first game, prospects in the 2nd game.

I'd want the Sox to be the top spender for Trout. Kid is just unreal.

I don't think the Dodgers find him a disservice, but I seriously question how good he'll be. This game had a lot to do with making adjustments. The league adjusted to Puig and I don't know if he has the ability to adjust back. Talent is immense so he has a good chance, I just seriously question him. He's somewhat of a free swinger and his contact rates are piss poor. Hitters can be successful free swingers like Vlad Guerrero, but Vladdy Daddy had much better contact rates then Puig. I think Puig may be a major disappointment, especially this season. It's one thing to come out and take the league by surprise and it's another to do it after the book is out. That's why I think he should have went to AAA instead of rushing him.

I think the Dodgers did a disservice to Puig by having him skip AAA. /random thought. Are you talking about 5 WAR player (in just over 100 games) Yasiel Puig or a different Yasiel Puig? He was great last season. You don't keep players like that in the minors so they can learn how to hit the cut-off man. His plate recognition was poor for a starting RF. He looked foolish on advanced pitches.

Sizemore will be wearing #38. Wonder if the Sox aren't letting anyone touch #24.

Maybe Middlebrooks + Betts + minor league pitcher (not Owens or RDLR) for Stanton? Or substitute Carp for Middlebrooks. Sign Drew for 2 years to play 3b until Cecchini is ready. without continuing the trade discussion here, just want to say that's not enough.

NESN really needs to start airing more spring training games. I remember them having "technical difficulties" one time and I missed one of the very few they had on.

I wouldn't trade WMB for their group of prospects.
