Guillen oughta bench Dye and Rios for the rest of the year and play Wise and Kotsay everyday.

 

Why is Getz not trying to steal every time he gets on?

He also should have Thornton close, but that doesn't look like it will happen.

I disagree, I think that Rios just needs time to clear his head and will be key to the White Sox resurgence next year.

 

Some times you have the pieces but it just takes a year for them to gel.

 

I hope so. 5 XBH's in over 100 AB with 25 K's.

 

A -12.6 VORP (before tonight) which is 7th worst in all of baseball.

Please white sox, if you blow it, let it be somebody else than Tony Pena. We will already be hearing it about Rios from greg. We don't need to double the trouble and see extra complaining about Pena.

 

Don't worry. I'm trying to stop beating a dead horse.

I just want to win and it looks like we may not again tonight.

The Sox arent trading Rios.

 

1) If Toronto could have gotten anything for him they would have.

 

2) The Sox (unlike their fans) generally dont just throw a player away after 1 bad season. They understand that players have good seasons and bad seasons, and not every player is slump proof.

 

Rios is a major part of the Sox future, regardless of how many board experts disagree.

I think we over rate Thornton. He has one pitch.

I don't care how many pitches he has, he gets the job done. His ERA and WHIP are a lot better than Jenks. What is the big difference in pitching in the 8th and 9th inning? I really don't see it.

 

But I think that he shouldn't be a closer. He is too valuable to be a closer. It is harder to come in with men on base and get men out than it is to come in with nobody on base. Thornton can do both of those.
