Official 2006 Spring Training Game Thread

No offense to Tony, but if he rides the pine in Boston, that is exactly what he deserves since he's the one that accepted arbitration after the Sox had already traded for Loretta. If they can't get something they like in return, they should keep him because he'd be one hell of a bench player.

 

Man do these MIN announcers have a bad research team. Murphy just came over from the Houston organization? News to me.

 

it would have been tough for tony to get a job knowing that team would have to fork over a first round pick for him.

I'm well aware of that, which makes me skeptical that he'll draw much interest in the trade market (unless someone gets hurt). As it stands right now, I think he has more value to the team on the roster than in the trade market.

[jsinger121]

mets, orioles, mariners could be some of the teams with interest. if the sox can get a B level prospect or 2 back then he is a goner.

[ORS]

I'll be upset if that B-level prospect isn't corner power.

did paps get out of the second inning

[RedSoxRooter]

Nope

[jsinger121]

[MANNYHOF24]

Whats the score? My local Am station isnt carrying the game tonight

[RedSoxRooter]

4-0 Twins in the 4th

[MANNYHOF24]

What was Papelbons line

[Ray10]

What really makes me mad is that they don't cover the games up here. If I want to hear them I have to pay for it on mlb.com.

[MANNYHOF24]

Do you guys think Papelbon should start or be in the pen

[yeszir]

Any chance any of these games will be on MLB.tv or nationally televised?

[MANNYHOF24]

Theres going to be like 9 games on Nesn, and like 3 on Espn or something like that

Tonight's game is on MLB.TV using the Twins broadcast and I think Saturday's may be televised through that as well.

if wells isnt traded: pen

 

if wells IS traded: papelbon to rotation, arroyo to pen.

Preseason baseball is a joke. Why people would want to watch it is beyond me.

[yeszir]

Oy. This thread just made me spend 80 bucks and buy mlb.tv for the year.

Sweet, Coco is "threatening to hit for the cycle."

[il0vemysox]

Good Job by Coco.....5-2

[il0vemysox]

He won't get it that was his last at-bat

[mosox]

Sweet Coco Crispies!! Very nice spring debut.

Ummm. It's baseball. No pressure. You get to see prospects.

 

 

You're obviously not a baseball fan.

[YanksHater213]

Not a fan just because I dont like to watch meaningless games?

[RedSoxRooter]

Not. Baseball. Fan.

[YanksHater213]

I have to admit, I am not as huge of a fan of baseball as I used to be. When I was 12-15 I was one of the biggest baseball fans ever. Lately though I've been drifting more towards college basketball and the NBA.

[mosox]

I happen to love the spring. These games are meaningless, but it's great just to watch a game. I even watched all the Carribbean World Series games online. I'm sure there are football freaks who will watch NFL Europe games.

[yeszir]

Not. Baseball. Fan.

Explain more clearly please.

[RedSoxRooter]

I even watched all the Carribbean World Series games online.

 

I didn't see any of it but have heard good things about that series. You think the WBC will be as interesting?

Not if everyone keeps dropping out.
