Kalapse Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 9, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) Dye has been running in quick sand this entire spring. That ball was probably 30 feet away from where he started. He needs to be taken out of right, no matter what Hawk may say he's been a huge liability out there and it's only getting worse.

fathom Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Did anyone else see the highlight NBC showed on Saturday night of Jerry Owens' sliding catch? Holy cow, it was a horrible route to the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) How did Australia beat Mexico by 10 runs? That's a big surprise...not quite like the Netherlands over DR, but close. Â Don't know much about Randy Williams...I think he's pitched twice this spring and hasn't given up a run yet, lefty, non-roster invitee, will undoubtedly end up in Charlotte as roster filler.

Balta1701 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 9, 2009 -> 01:06 PM) He looks slower than ever so far, and his bat speed also has been really poor. It's a shame we couldn't trade him for Bailey, as he's looked very good. Dye hit .238 last year in the spring and I could swear I heard the exact same statements about his bat speed. (Not to say that I wouldn't want Bailey though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 4-3 strikes again  And f*** YOU weird announcer guy. All what tools? Speed? Check. . . . alright that's all I got.  The fans are being fed a load of s*** by everyone even remotely related to the White Sox organization. They can keep throwing lines out there like "this guy is a prototypical leadoff hitter" or "he has all the tools to leadoff" and yet they never elaborate, you wonder why the majority of fans are clueless, it's because they're constantly lied to.

I just dont understand the coaches who look at his short armed uppercut swing that cannot make solid contact to any field and has zero power and say, well this kid could be our leadoff hitter.

Good call on Getz, he's definitely quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
