Frank Thomas is an AWESOME hitter when he wants to be. The problem is he is selfish, he whines, he doesnt put the team first and he is getting older. Im all for letting this guy go and believe me, a few years ago i was a HUGE Frank fan...........
I'm with you on this. Frank is one of the first guys I watched as a Sox fan and I would always argue with my friends how he was better then Griffey back in the days (Griffey was really better, but I'd never tell them that).
The time for Frank to be a Sox is over, imo and I hope the two sides can respectuflly say thanks. When Frank retires, then he'll enter the hall a White Sox, but he is no longer the player he once was.
I believe thats because mentally he's all F'ed up, but either way, he's not deserving of the money he gets. The problem is, its gonna be hard to get rid of him cause as long as he wants to play on the Sox, will be basically as long as he's here.
Its too bad KW didn't have his way.
