I agree 100% I was a high school baseball coach for a fairly long time and I hate the influence of PEDs on young guys.

they are everywhere still and on every team. like speigal said today. would you not take ryan braun cus he did it and lied? if anyone says no they are lying

With Sake, Samardzija and Quintana being 1-2-3, who is 4-5? Rodon may be later in the year but probably not out of camp. Danks and Noesi would seem to be the guys based on last season - but are there other possibilities?

Yeah because teams encourage it by giving handouts worth $45 million dollars. I'd juice too if I could make that money

Absolutely. Baseball has been my favorite sport since i was a kid, so to see this resurgence is a beautiful thing. Hopefully the Cubs and Sox can't compete for years (with an "s" lol)

Especially baseball. It's just great to have baseball back in Chicago. Not only will this help the city but also the league as a whole. This summer is going to be great.

Too be fair, he probably hasn't.

Eaton, and Ramirez are probably the only fast guys, maybe Sanchez. Avi supposedly has speed.

Everyone else is below average at best. I mean, this isn't Thome, Dye, Konerko, AJ, bulk line-up slow, but its not fast.

Eaton & Ramirez. Maybe Avi and Sanchez, everyone else no.

And I agreed with you.

American league baseball doesn't require speed throughout a lineup to score runs. In fact, base stealing is very overrated. The top base stealers in the league don't score as many runs as "slow" power hitting DHs.

Stolen bases are overrated depending on success rate. If you are being thrown out at a good clip, then yea they do more harm then good. It's how your team is set up.

Ramirez, Eaton, Melky and Avi can all scoot. The speed will be at the top of the order where it's supposed to be in that lineup.

OBP and HRs are more important to this team. If Abreu hits 40+ HRs, followed by LaRouche, Avi and Melky with 20+, and Ramirez with 15-20, the Sox should be near top 10 in runs scored in the MLB.

Again if we are worried about stolen bases we are in a good position.

eaton leads off and can steal.

melky gets on base and can hit
than abreu who hits bombs and hit doubles with obp

than laroche who will do the same

garcia with pop and speed

than ramirez

not worried about teh stolenz baseszzzz
