Moving to Pittsburgh


At the end of next week, I'll be moving from Chi-town to Pittsburgh, PA.

I fear I am going to be exposed to a lot of Pirates' baseball-like substance.  Bad.

Although I suspect you can get good seats pretty easily there... you know... if you wanted to watch that.

I'm probably going to have to cave in and get the MLB.tv.

Anybody here from the area?

(And four more words.)

8. Chicago-AL

The White Sox would love to get a shortstop like Gordon Beckham into their system, but with him off of the board, they'll turn to one of the many slugging first basemen from the college ranks. The obvious candidates are Alonso and Smoak, with the longstanding rumor about Arizona State's Brett Wallace as a dark horse beginning to die out over the last week. Currently there is a split in house as to which is the superior prospect, Alonso or Smoak, but perhaps what is most telling is that during last weekend's conference tournaments, Kenny Williams went to the SEC games to see Smoak, and not the ACC to see Alonso. That could mean nothing, or it could mean everything, but the general consensus in the industry is that Smoak is the better talent.

Selection: Justin Smoak, 1B, South Carolina

"It just sounded to me like a hotheaded manager blowing off some steam at the end of a bad weekend in an ugly building, trying to light a fire under his team. Guillen does this with some regularity, whether the White Sox are having a good year or a bad one. He did it in 2005 and they won the World Series. It's just what he does."
