Dan Pasqua's Rec Specs Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You guys actually think FRank Cattalanotto is gonna help this team make it to the playoffs? You gotta be kidding me. You are gonna need a way more superior bat to even make a difference. This team is gonna need way more than that...maybe a starting pitcher or someone who will hold runners and throw them out. And I also think jurassic Everett was not the answer either. I still Think we could have gotten something a more productive bat with Rauch's value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndgt10 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 So who do you want. Another power hitter who either homers or K's. We need a hitter like Catalannato who is not all or nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Losing Frank and Maggs would kill any team. Our only hope is if our current guys somehow ignite and that includes Borchard. No more trades please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballpark Frank - Big Hurt Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Obviously no matter how many trades the Sox are gonna execute it will not fix all of their problems...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Pasqua's Rec Specs Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 Who do i want? I would like to package together something to get a good pitcher. I wouldnt waste our young talent on frank catalanotto. Hes only played 54 games. Hes definitley not the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 We will not have to give much up for him i can assure you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmaranz Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I think Frankie C is exactly the type of player we need right now. Someone who can get on base and to back that up, look at the last 2 games. We've scored 5 runs on 5 solo homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You are gonna need a way more superior bat to even make a difference. That's what a lot of people thought about the Shannon Stewart trade made by Minnesota last year. Giving up Kielty, an up and coming stud, for injury-prone Shannon Stewart. Boy were those people wrong. Catalanotto could be exactly what this team needs...last year, when Robbie came on and starting getting on base at the top of the order, it helped the power hitters immensely. Cat could come in here and do exactly that. And he would not cost a ton...not like Freddy Garcia or even Carl Everett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every successful team needs guys who will do them, guys who don't need to be in the lime light. We have enough stars on this team, we need some guys who will just come in and bust their balls doing whatever they can for the team to win. Frank is a veteran utility player. He is not a bad player. He would fit very nicely into the two hole. If we have no one on base for our power, we will never get more than a solo homerun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox247 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Yeah, let's not do anything, pack up our bags, let the season die out a slow, painful death when we're 2.5 games out, with 2 months of baseball left because obviously losing 3 in a row just made hell freeze over.

Even with Thomas and Maggs out of the lineup, I'd take our 3, 4, 5, 6 (Lee, Everett, Konerko, and hopefully in the near future, Valentin) over a lot of other teams. I'd really like to see a correlation between how our 1 and 2 hitters do each day, and how our offense as a whole does that day. It seems whenever our top of the order guys don't play well, our offense goes down easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Catalanotto would help this team a ton. We need another contact guy at the top of the order and someone needs to tell ozzie to move jose down in the order, anyways if kenny could somehow get Frank the lineup would looks like this: rowand cat lee carl pauly jose crede willie/uribe catching trio That lineup is real balanced plus you then have two guys at the top of the order who can get on for the boppers. The middle of the order isn't the problem right now it's the top and bottom of the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems whenever our top of the order guys don't play well, our offense goes down easily. That is true for many, if not all, teams. The Cubs have found out the hard way how important Kenny Lofton was for them down the stretch last year. Minnesota found out the easy way how important a good leadoff hitter is down the stretch by acquiring Stewart down the stretch for last year.

Rowand44 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 That would be a pretty damn solid line-up, imo at least. Ditto, 2 .300 hitters at the top of the lineup would make this lineup damn solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Caballo isn't a table setter, but the #3 hitter is still at the top of the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your right, I just meant the top two guys to get on for Carlos, Carl, Pauly, Jose but yes he is at the top of the order and a .300 hitter. You win, I lose.

BobDylan Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Ditto, 2 .300 hitters at the top of the lineup would make this lineup damn solid. Not true, the bottom of the order is still very weak, and Guillen is persistant in batting Valentin 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Not true, the bottom of the order is still very weak, and Guillen is persistant in batting Valentin 2nd. Well I think most of us agree that Arow should bat 2nd as of right now so hopefully ozzie will find this out. As for the bottom of the order yeah it would still be a little weak but not as weak.
