Jayson Nix Pulls an Owens, Could Be Done for Spring

2B Derby Down to Chris Getz and Gordon Beckham
Jayson Nix pulled up lame rounding first base on a double Tuesday, re-injuring his tender quadriceps, possibly ending his spring and any realistic chance he had of winning the White Sox second base job. Nix had been hitting quite well in his limited spring at-bats, and could still have a chance to break camp with the club as a utility man. But for now, the Sox are going to take a cautious approach with his reoccurring injury.
"I'm kind of worried about him. With that type of injury, it's hard to recover quick. [...] I think right now we should give him enough time, no matter what stage of spring training it is, to make sure he recovers 100 percent," Guillen said. "If we don't do that, he's going to re-aggravate that all year long. We're better off giving him some off-time, and when he starts playing, he'll play all year long and not have to deal with that."
Nix' removal from the 2B competition leaves just Chris Getz and Gordon Beckham, with Getz having the inside track and the head start of a strong minor league record.
Nix' injury could affect the runner's up prize, the utility spot, where Brent Lillibridge, considered the Sox' best fielding option, is clearly not ready to face major league pitching. Meanwhile, Wilson Betemit has demonstrated that he should be nowhere near shortstop, which leaves only Nix, who hasn't seen much action at SS, as a viable option as a backup SS/2B.

So this is why I love AJ:
“You don’t want to let a catcher call every single pitch of every game, because you want to keep yourself in the game,” Richard said. “But he comes about as close as any catcher you could imagine to having that kind of trust.
"And he’s so helpful when it comes to knowing the hitters and knowing how to anticipate situations. He’s on top of things before they happen. Plus, he brings that win-at-all-costs attitude behind the plate, and you’re fired up to work with him out there because of that.”

Broussard says he’s going to release his second full-length album soon, hopefully in May, and that it will have 12 tracks and be called “Renovated,” a title that refers to his struggle to stay in the Majors after not making an impact with the Rangers last season.

U.S. wins at WBC - still plagued by injuries (I'm sure MLB is thrilled)
Back before the WBC began I posted something about how I felt it was a fairly worthless tournament and just an invitation for injuries to high-salaried MLB players who had no business being there. I also expressed my glee at Q!’s decision to decline the offer to participate.
My comments were struck down (although I won’t mention by whom, larry…perhaps a few others). In general, the retort was that the WBC was just a warm up for MLB players who knew the WBC is just a glorified spring tune-up and they wouldn’t be trying very hard…so no need to worry about injuries.
Now the U.S. has so many injuries that apparently they had a backup catcher playing left field on Sunday and if the roster thins out much more (Chipper Jones, Dustin Pedroia, Ryan Braun and Matt Lindstrom are already out), Davey Johnson has already said they may consider forfeiting down the road if necessary.
So to those who mocked my commentary, I say BITE ME…and VIVA Q!
(P.S. I saw that Ted Lilly gave up a major dinger tonight…bwaaaa ha ha haaaaaaa!)

Um, hate to burst your bubble, but people get injured in spring training, too
Like, the one who got injured that thetop level post is about.
Or Thome being out with back spasms.

that's stupid. thome was trying too hard because he's competing to make the white sox opening day roster.
that’s why he got hurt.

well, yeah.
selig has been hearing from teams about how the white sox would have an unfair advantage with beckham playing in the field. so it looks like he’s going to be limited to just hitting. of course, people are already protesting how it’s dangerous to permit so many balls to hit cars on the dan ryan. not sure if he’ll be permitted to play until the 114 story titanium net is put up around the cell.

Spring training and tournament play aren't the same
You can attempt to be right all the time, but you’re not in this case, smartass.
Thome has the luxury of resting as long as he needs to rehab. If he were on Team USA, he would feel pressured to play injured…big difference.
Davey Johnson on Matt Lindstrom (from a Chicago Tribune article):
“Johnson wasn’t sure when Lindstrom injured himself but said Lindstrom had left the team to undergo an MRI on the shoulder and would not pitch again in the WBC. He was upset Lindstrom had not told anyone on the Team USA staff that his shoulder was sore, especially after being told that Lindstrom told catcher Chris Iannetta he was hurting.”
I’m sure Marlins’ management and ownership are thrilled their closer screwed up his shoulder in a meaningless tournament (USA! USA! USA!).
I’ve played in a shitload of softball tournaments over a few decades and the competition there was much different than when we were playing practice games before the season started.

never.
‘Davey told us at the very beginning that he didn’t want any heroes,‘’ Lindstrom said. ``But I’m stubborn, just like my mom. It’s just something you’ve got to work through and be smart about, and sometimes I’m not that smart about stuff like this, being stubborn. It’s unfortunate.’’
he has some soreness in his shoulder. my god. never heard of that occurring ever before.

Obama prefers some kind of "state visit" to "Turkey" over opening day
As much as President Barack Obama would like to be at Chicago’s U.S. Cellular Field on April 6, it seems unlikely that the First Fan will be there for the home season opener against the Kansas City Royals.
On that day, Obama is now expected to be in Istanbul, Turkey, making the visit to an overwhelmingly Muslim country that he has promised during the early days of his administration.

In da locker room, snuck to post with my twitt...
MILWAUKEE — It might be the next big thing in online social networking, but Milwaukee Bucks coach Scott Skiles isn’t a big fan of Twitter.
Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva got a talking-to from Skiles after the coach learned Villanueva posted a message to his Twitter feed — a “tweet” — from his mobile phone during halftime of Sunday’s home win over Boston.
“Don’t want to blow it out of proportion, but anything that gives the impression that we’re not serious and focused at all times is not the correct way we want to go about our business,” Skiles said.
Using the screen name “CV31” — Villanueva’s initials and jersey number — Villanueva posted the following message during halftime Sunday:
“In da locker room, snuck to post my twitt. We’re playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up.”<blockquote>
