  1. http://espn.go.com/boston/conversations/_/id/7748320/chris-carpenter-boston-red-sox-needs-surgery Chris Carpenter has surgery to remove bone spur from his elbow.
  2. It sucks to watch Yoennis Cespedes come to bat for another team and rip a double on a really good curveball.
  3. 5 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 5 K, and he's going to be coming out for the next inning presumably, after tripling to lead off the bottom of the fifth. Welcome to the rotation, Shark.
  4. He's been pounding the strike zone in his last couple starts. The last one, he got hit hard for it. Not today, yet.
  5. Was overslotting really a big factor in the Red Sox' success? I don't remember in that way, but I am tired and known to be frequently wrong.
  6. BN indicates that the Cubs will be making "final roster decisions" after today's ST game, though they may not be announced right away.
  7. Since last June, we've added Concepcion, Torreyes, Rizzo, a boatload of other Cubans and the great (or at least expensive) draft. The system isn't getting better just because of who we hired. It's getting better because better players have been added to it.
  8. Still waiting for MLB to approve his free agency.
  9. Yeah, I think the rotation is pretty set at this point. I don't think Samardzija was getting the job based on his ST results, but just on what they saw out of him last season and his apparently ability to build up to being a starter. Also,
  10. Samardzija is getting ripped, 5 runs in 1.2 innings so far. It'd probably only be two if we had better defenders than LaHair (1b) and Johnson (LF) in there.
  11. This. Rizzo has been extremely young for every league he's played in. Repeating AAA won't hurt him a bit.
  12. You do realize that it's not just arbitration, but actual years of free agency?
  13. And all three are better than last year's third baseman.
  14. ESPN's baseball guys have to have heard of you.
  15. Law is the type to cling to that initial impression forever.
  16. Keith Law had some tweets about Cubs prospects yesterday. The good news is that he says Vogelbach lost another 20-25 pounds during the offseason. The unsurprising news is that he saw Vogelbach strike out twice and has pretty much already written him off.
  17. Blake Lalli only needed 14 to hit two. Oh, wait, due to small sample size we should just close the spring training thread. A better solution would be that no one says anything positive about Ian Stewart, ever.
  18. Blake Lalli only needed 14 to hit two.
  19. Let's see, his wrist still hurts and that's his first home run in the homer-happy Cactus League. So, no.
  20. Neifi Perez Joe Mather homers again and will undoubtedly be making the team as a NRI.
  21. Sonnanstine was outrighted to AAA today. Not surprising or anything.
