The Killer B's...

I have 3 players that can act as a can of raid...

Ryan Garko>Ben Broussard
Franklin Gutierrez>Casey Blake
Andy Marte>Aaron Boone

Marte is straight up killing people in the Grapefruit league, I'm actually happy we landed em

 

[Mac]

Eh, baseball season doesnt excite me.

Boone has been playing well in spring training thus far, but Ben is sucking it up like allways.

 

[hughes1988]

Boone should start, he is a good player just had a bad season... Blake also had a great season 2 years ago for us... Blake also hit 23 homers last season so i would keep him there to... But i agree that ben needs to improve big time... but if he plays bad early expect indians to do something about it, cuz i no the office are not going to put up with what happen last season again...

I know it's tempting for some, but if we had a decent owner we could have gone from Casey Blake to Carlos Lee

 

[cavincali]

Whatever, we got who we got. The team we have opening day is good enough to win the World Series. Although are chances would be a lot better with marte at third Boone at first and someone else in right.

 

[Mac]

No its not. How can a team that has pretty much one player with significant playoff experience be good enough to win a world series?

but on topic..when is opening day in Cleveland?

Marlins did it 3 years ago with Jeff Conine as their main playoff performer.

Home opener is Friday April 7th... 3:05 game

Thats just an idiotic comment. Look at what the White Sox did last year, a bunch of stiffs playing way out of there league and they won it all.

 

[cdt]

They aren't stiffs, each one of them had a role on that team. Everyone did their part, they had power in Konerko. An unreal 1-2 punch for pitchers, and found the releivers to get the job done.

If we can get past the Sox we have a shot. The NL is so bad, we steamrolled all their teams. Last year, if the Sox/Yankees destroy eachother I think we have a chance. Twins look to be going backwards, and I'm not sold till I see the Blue Jays on the field.

 

[cavincali]

If you are goign to sit there and tell me that each and everyone of the players on that White Sox team did not play out of there ass last year then you dont know what you are talking about.

They won countless one run games, the Indians on the other didnt get the breaks like the sox did. If the Sox dont get luck/fortnunate they dont make the playoffs and the Indians do.

 

[Mac]

The difference was, they are playing with vets, we are playing with young players that have lost in the crunch two years in a row.

What makes you think that a team that wasnt good enough to make the playoffs last year, who got worse in the off-season, is good enough to win the world series?

 

[cavincali]

We didnt get worse. We probably will be the same, the difference coming in the close games.

Grady/Hafner/Martinez all will get better along with Boone and Blake. I dont think there is any question that Boone will play better and Blake well I just think he will. All of that improvement will equal us improving.

And the Whitesox wont have the baseball gods on there sides this year.
