Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

By Mark Gonzales

PHOENIX - Bartolo Colon allowed three runs Monday to Kansas City in a 1 2/3-inning stint that marked his first spring appearance for the White Sox.

In the first inning, Colon threw 11 of 18 pitches for strikes.
...
Colon's control was an issue, as evidenced by the fact he threw only 22 of 40 pitches for strikes, including only 11 of 22 in his second inning of work. Colon underwent surgery last fall to remove bone chips in his right elbow.

The folks who prep my breakfast twice weekly are Brits who have been here for 15 years – business owners, whose kid is trying to become an Orange Co. sherriff. They went back to England to put the guy’s Mum in a nursing home and, upon attempting to come back to the States, were told at Heathrow that they could only get a 90 day visa to the US and would have to return to England after that. They can’t find any way to get their green card unless they have $1MM in gthe bank as a business.

Looked like he stuck to just fastball/changeup, too, as expected.

So long as he responds well tonight and tomorrow I’d say that’s a positive.

Bartolo actually got an excellent deal considering the economy and where he is right now, medically and talent-wise. Thankfully, KW has an out clause that if exercised would likely necessitate a retirement press conference for Bartolo Colon.

And he doesn't really need to be.

The Contreras miracle (at least to date) might make this Colon outing look kind of bad, but as larry said, it was pretty much to be expected. So we end up seeing a couple outings of the Marques super-sensational sinker. No doubt we’ll all be in an uproar when they dare suggest replaing Marquez with Colon. Or something like that.

by palehose67 on Mar 16, 2009 3:45 PM CDT up reply actions

Hmm. I guess they see something that makes them believe he needs the time to prepare… and also have faith in Marquez or field.

sox sign pebble raines.
Chicago White Sox
Signed: RHP Stuart Pomeranz, OF Tim Raines Jr.
Optioned to Double-A: RHP Lucas Harrell

Raines, 29, enjoyed his time with Triple-A Tucson in ’08, batting .311/.346/.530 in 502 at-bats, with 30 doubles, 13 triples, 18 homers and a 28-for-36 showing on the bases. It didn’t stop there, however. The switch-hitter showed near-perfect symmetry in compiling an OPS of .880 from the right side of the plate and a .874 figure from the left. Raines then batted .310/.341/.512 in a 21-game tour of the Venezuelan League. He’s at the point in his career now where he’s annually one of the better middle-of-the-diamond minor league free agents available, and the White Sox may represent one of the better landing places for a player in his situation. (Hey, it worked for Dewayne “ALDS starter” Wise last offseason.) If Raines hits even a bit, he could be attractive to a Chicago team consigned to sorting through Brian Anderson and Jerry Owens in center field.

In honor of Raines, we present his scouting report (with the Orioles) from the 2004 Prospect Handbook, which turned out to be his final appearance:

No. 27 • Tim Raines Jr., of
Born: Aug. 31, 1979. Ht.: 5-10. Wt.: 189. Bats: B. Throws: R. School: Seminole HS, Sanford, Fla. Career Transactions: Selected by Orioles in sixth round of 1998 draft; signed June 15, 1998.
Raines completed a remarkable turnaround in 2003, going off the Orioles’ 40-man roster and getting back on within a year. Raines, who debuted in the big leagues in 2001 and got the opportunity to play with his father Tim Sr., was sent back to Double-A in 2002 and performed poorly. His attitude also didn’t endear him to the organization, and he was designated for assignment in January 2003. He returned to Bowie and got back on track, earning promotions to Triple-A and then to the majors. Baltimore kept him on the 40-man roster after the season. As it was for his father, speed is Raines’ best tool. He’s a basestealing threat and an outstanding defender in center field. He has improved his approach at the plate and made better contact last year, though he has to prove he can do the same in the big leagues. He looked overmatched by major league pitching at times. Raines still doesn’t hustle all the time, failing to run after a ball that went over his head in a game against the Blue Jays, for instance. Still, his speed and defense give him a chance to make the Baltimore roster as a backup outfielder. If his offense contineus to progress, he eventually could be a starter.

it's kind of hard to know what egbert's goals/thought processes are

or what he may be throwing, but he’s got to be looking for outs regardless of what melton was saying about the open base because he’s under the microscope for the 25 man. even so: if he was going to go soft, why not the change to a lefty? lack of confidence? going with the hot pitch?
