" Let's get out to the odds are hot flat and low commander. Phil and -- the man himself a childhood hero my bill Melton -- sports net White Sox analyst Phil how are you buddy. I don't -- Duke like football -- about a month award for half off off off. O'Brien's Olivia look at toward that villas at you don't carry out our baseball team's."

" Yeah that -- kind of blow out in general how it looked like political talk on the part about this. You know you gotta -- you -- try to figure out you want to be smart surely can't. Because you don't know -- have black and allows players being about sort flat black. They have a division I think she -- an -- he looked up for grabs. What you know -- the pitching if we didn't have contreras. Goes up right there mis important direction burly troll like -- have better actually -- earlier about the -- direction toward our. Again you know what's so great sports -- pitching one -- trying. We go to an outstanding bullpen improper or pop fly over baseball. -- to put them all together we can scoreboard torture run to get on the over --"

" While Jose Contreras was named the AL pitcher -- player of the of the week after those the two performance as he put together. And billion out of gas that you when he was sent down. Now we got a chance to go to to spring training and -- get a chance to talk to him and everybody could tell right away just looking at a physically the amount of work to be put any lost a ton -- weight. But when things struggled to start the season when he went down I wasn't sure we'd ever see him again and it's been delightful -- been a real surprise and a real polite. They have a guy like that come back and we all know oh what a great guy years and obviously that we have the stuff that yes."

" We -- on our third or -- well liked and well respected Mets clubhouse. You know most of the guys that made the -- go to Charlotte pushing a guy that. Last year when he tore that Achilles could've taken that Jeremiah dollars and interstate and floor. And collected but you'd be excited not only to lose the weight -- begin to shape your comeback about. May be true for months early show I think he's highly respected I think the White Sox gave him the benefit of the doubt. Again because -- home collect the -- model morning. We put back on efforts forward they were willing to what you know there are -- forward this state winning. Through spring training that's state welcome below what about just overreached arch their just due to either so mechanical issues they're -- court covered ball around. So there's certainly a balance soft again -- very difficult thing to answer rob I'm happy for him. You know for winning the -- over the road so bigger accomplishment when he gets into war even military weekly thing -- monthly but I. But that you reward for him play more support boy. Again work or don't you go out and parker absolutely ridiculous -- third yarder he goes yeah. Yeah sure won't do that book but the overall thing is you've got a strong army got a guy throw over ninety miles an hour. -- located I'm about to number four starter people located anywhere but a good addition your projection up."

" And Belisle I was not happy as a cub fantasy that they got him -- into the final game the Cubs Sox series and put Clayton Richard back for some side sessions. But the -- one Bentley said earlier in the conversation and you trying to sound smart about it that you're not sure what you have here. And today and both papers have Dan McGrath and the Tribune saying that the Sox -- the team that's in the better position to contend to win the division and in the sometimes our colleague Gordon would -- covers the Cubs has no don't know hold on. This is a -- that Cubs Hendry -- team in better shape to contend and Sox. Williams and yet. The Sox have the better bullpen with Kevin Gregg Carlos Marmol struggle and our offense hasn't been hitting -- by any stretch of the imagination. And here's my question bill and over the weekend -- said I got nothing else I had no more answers I've tried everything. They'd have to work your way out of it which team is in the better position and ever -- your base that's Angel and I got nothing for a go ahead."

" You are a great question there and everywhere we looked to about -- kind of look at very be your competition yet governor division. -- overall pulpit the American or National League there's not a lot of strong teams there's not any real dominant teams not -- you break it down -- divisions. If you look at the American League was a -- who were runaway were there however the competition I still thank bill Wada. When he -- it was -- mark really get a lot of parity is all about the same we're all out war -- almost approaching. The warmest and giving no other teams can't catch the ball. Than -- go to the Nuggets will be about classification with -- there was ample play. Well blossom. Toronto and Yankees source I I think I grew to like it boils down movie division -- you -- ask yourself a cup triumph. The real enough pitching which is what you have the starting pitching to beat -- St. Louis Cardinals -- Milwaukee Brewers felt we were up there. Well what about your play against the Milwaukee Brewers internationally game it's hard to figure out whether. -- to better -- first place shall work for a house back literally felt very difficult thing to answer -- well I think it's good for eagle fan base. This week parity all the way -- hopefully through October. Predictable -- club went 8485 games. Bill I think there were going to be your first place and they for an 85 or were products off the divisional -- going to have a buddies maturities double. Target chip there isn't -- project that out yet but what -- the competition in your division are you going to be a wild card. Are you going to go -- first place show again a -- wild card. In the American League do it's gonna come out of reach personal question about a sort -- delivered by a Boston New York. Toronto or are trampled by. But to answer question I'd like this you all too close to call up perceptions don't get."

" He's bill Melton Comcast sports that White Sox analyst you're listening to Mully and Hanley in the score bill. A delight to talk you for a for for just to get a chance to talk him but also to talk about Gordon Beckham you know you look at a guy like that brought up and obviously. Josh Fields striking out so much and and I and I'd be saying something bad to happen and and fields didn't like the move. But but something did have to happen and you bring in Gordon Beckham and now the kids seems to have gotten bad. Together certainly in this in this series up enough in Milwaukee had a couple RBIs and a couple back to back games. What do you see from him long term bill is -- a third baseman I look at his body type you know bill Melton. He doesn't look like the big strong man out there on third -- a bit of a little guy might be. More of a second baseman just in terms of body shape but I I like what I've seen so far. I loved the kids I love is -- people caught cockiness elegant demeanor and just looks like a guy that. Feels he belongs to you like to see that the ball."

" It ashamed of it they get hurt Gordon back to --"

" I was he happens all the all Klecko might Bart Gordon Beckett a Donald -- a guy to pick up the delegates -- awful awful awful. You know I -- you know what I saw out. Just picking up things that I saw but I like it your idea that I -- about twelve spring trying to get such a lot of Gordon buck from. I saw much like a boys football players sure but it's sort of for like this spring training was how well -- all the ops which he'll know I look at him on the few groups that you latest wide variety death. -- typical thing to do as good a line drive got the first visual I have a horse to go to pitch to -- a lot of young guys you we will fly out deep to right field or something like batter. It'll lazy pop up to right center field -- you're driving -- good. Oh pitch mobile oil like she did on two different occasions. -- got to trust me you got a chance been pretty good Major League Baseball or recruited you can use all the field. But it just a function being able to turn -- pitch which you'll be able to physically. It's hard -- topic you have to be to be a third -- but I I remember -- 295. -- Glazer bought. So you know I have an -- yarder to Cuba the the only problem would be with him as what you're looking for production of a miracle if not their home -- not their most powerful runners Jermaine Dye. You need production you need you need that are your corporation media RBIs and home runs off. LB the only bounce like any player there absorb whatever it you're good athletes for question that's what surprised about Josh Fields. He he didn't he he didn't ever have to at this point not yet developed some of that. Jack -- Joe Crede but that type of -- British one. You've just got to be felt filled out or if you look at back -- you look at the way -- across the diamond. Yeah I know we -- want to work miracles had this weekend but. If you watch how he throws -- across the diamond after he makes the play gets you off the confidence that if there was no Amy knows just give -- religion that bad machine that. -- yup -- we know he's just gonna get better but I -- for the fact guys that he can go the other way. That's very difficult to achieve such -- to want to young -- to do it looks like he has that down and out to the functional turn around all the stuff we get comfortable."

" He's built not joining ceremony daily show these Sox Comcast sports and we shall see him on Comcast tonight he get your Sox broadcast on Comcast -- Cubs broadcast. I'm WGN and then they alternate throughout the series and bill worry Skinner Brian Anderson weak ordinance on the -- girlfriend's gonna come back here at some point. The next couple weeks and if Scotty pods still doing what he's doing do you move him to center field. And then Brian ends up being your late inning guy again defensively."

" Yeah I think that's kind of what to relish you have a good -- Pacific news you know wrote kind of rewrote the book where you know obvious sending Valdez. Combination you can't do that and Brian has. Not a a lot of opportunity but he he's had opportunities like I would just -- comedy lineup but he'll probably have almost left -- If limited -- to tell the orchestra that gives you worry I mean. You can put Brian and actually the game all virtually anyone of those outfield positions look at this -- point to watch your doctor really play. It baseball or get off and gotten back a couple bad throws what you wanted to run the bases he's fast he's big. He can hit with power and you know he plays a terrific sort of sure we saw that Milwaukee if you hate to have. They beat you -- not to have the option a player go like right irrational Bryant ever show up very good offensive ballclub. -- You could hit it may third night he can get through traffic. And help your ballclub a lot of times sore right guy I have to give them not to push got picked for the track at the top of the line up now guys forget all."

" He's one of the great stories of this actually -- it's amazing you -- find a delegate on the script event and you know I don't know what happened bill and we we heard stories that did Scotty was one of these guys that I needed the body to be perfect to play may be. The experience of feeling you're getting kicked out of baseball is it just made him a madman but I I can't tell you how pleased that -- with -- performance."

" out my -- pleasure going to be one. Freddy Garcia opens up the first surgical."

" It's okay if I could affect."

" Only good if they're gonna I. I'm really upset if you saw -- slam it's up to who knows who you guys saw this really awkward to see them both American and -- and strange things are happening. Stranger things are going to happen. I I don't I do respect episode victor Conte released by the Colorado Rockies operational later ballclub there was very rural farmers probably younger guy. That could do the same plays and obviously wherever they don't call you sort of -- we have three different guys. None -- worked out there and you know I -- the Chinese took a type of -- old. But about the players sort of play with them before that are comfortable in the club while -- posada who liked by his teammates. I think it was a no lose situation there was. You know Dewayne wise what -- virtual replica deflected a whole lot I'm not going to. Guys the disputed that he would probably start this season and into the city might -- a pretty good year won't ever know that now we always stuck doing the hardest thing in the world loose. You know bench playing come -- football major injury and you know try to make contact they don't buy it so I'm definitely the subject for the powerful lineup I feel badly for writing an ocean because I know if he was an everyday sort of feel work. But it could be a good Matt Light up put it makes your life and -- ball well."

" Aren't always a -- bill great blog you. They care daycare -- know bill Melton Comcast sports net White Sox -- was."
