QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 01:21 PM) With 1 makeup game still to play IIRC. Pirates vs Yankees is left.

I would be happy to give OC a 3 year deal worth a substantial amount of money. You leave Alexi at 2B and if Beckham develops as advertised you can consider moving OC in the final year of his contract.

He can also play a bit of the outfield. Just a really really solid player and I think he's one of those guys that will make his way through the minors unknown and than just all of a sudden appear and play well at the major league level (which will leave a lot of people going, who is this guy and where did he come from).

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 08:54 AM) um... Basically I wanted to remind people that Konerko is the one responsible for the poor production at first this season.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 08:56 AM) The skill set for a CF and a corner infielder are totally different, though. Not that you're wrong. Just saying, I don't think one has anything to do with the other. In fact I would say having a plus defender at CF play 1B, even if he is good at 1B, is a total waste. I agree completely, but I'm also saying that someone who plays CF should be one of the premiere defensive 1st baseman with a bit of experience (because "defensive" tools a Cfer possesses is superior to those a 1B possesses). Heck, just look at Darin Erstad, he was an absolutel stud at 1st (than again, in his prime, he was an absolutely stud in CF too).

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 08:10 AM) I checked a couple other teams, just for perspective: Yankees: 32-22 with, 12-16 without Minny: 28-18 with, 17-19 without Cleveland: 28-18 with, 9-27 without If you get a chance, let me know what the Red Sox record is. I'd expect the Red Sox, Tribe, and Yankees to be much more like the Sox (more reliant on the homer) while I think the Angels and Twins would be on the other side of the spectrum (as they don't hit many hr's, thus they have to be able to manufacture and play to other strengths to have such good records).

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 03:57 AM) I agree that Swish is a much better firstbaseman. However, I think Paulie's defense is generally underrated. He's been very solid over there for quite some time. He picks them with the very best of em and gets to anything hit near him. The only area he actually lacks is in the range department and I'd agree that Swisher is all around better, but not by a whole lot. I also think Swish is one of the best defensive 1st baseman in the game (as he should be, considering he is capable of playing CF).

Beautiful!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 06:14 PM) It's amazing how many good pitches to hit he fouls straight back. BAM

Time for a Thomerun.

Linebrink is good and Alexi's turn is sexy (he freaking rifles the ball over).

Back up the middle BA.

Marshall with 85 pitches right now (prior to any pitches thrown to Alexi). Alexi gets the job done on the sac bunt.

I'd have no problem with a hit and run right here.

Swisher is playing so much better this month. I likey, hopefully the June Swish is the one we see most of the time during his career in Chicago. Looks like Wood may be coming in.

Ridiculous. In terms of innings pitched, last I looked we had the fewest relief innings pitched but maybe that changed after yesterdays game (to 2nd fewest). Nice job Mark, now lets get another couple runs and more importantly lets not give up anymore!!!

Come on Mark, put him away.

And in case people need more info....Brian Anderson's middle name is Nikola or something like that.

BA....WOOT WOOT. I was thinking when Swisher was up that Anderson is gonna do something this inning. Than again, I think that all the time.

What is the weather forecast? I expect Mark to throw a ball and see if Blanco chases it. Blanco hits Mark well IIRC>

Anderson is such a better CF than Wise. Wise gets terrible jumps on the ball. Not that Anderson did anything special on that double, but he's so much more smooth (better range, better jumps, better arm).
