QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) FWIW, Teahen's OPS against righties was .820. Don't tell me we couldn't use that. We definitely could use that, Teahen has a place on this ballclub but its replacing Kotsay's role not Quentins.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) Exactly. A .242 average is 1 hit better than he's hit all season over that length. That's nothing. He is also hitting .321 with RISP compared to Teahen's .233...... Quentin is the better offensive player and there really isnt any question about it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:15 PM) As I jsut noted, he really isn't. At least not yet. His avg. has risen 10 points in the last 10 games in which he is 9 for 37 which is still only .242 but its still improving.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) Are you kidding? Right now, Teahen would take over as our starting RF. And he'd be a major upgrade. He definitely would not, Quentin might have a low avg. but he is clutch with runners in scoring position, more power, and as of late he is starting to hit more too. Teahen should take Kotsay's place on this club if anything when he comes back, assuming Viciedo performs well with the bat.

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 01:57 PM) LaRoche's career #'s pre and post all-star break. He's consistently better later in the season. Not a bad cheap addition, plus he gives Paulie even more days at DH, keeping him fresh. G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS 528 1816 250 460 130 5 72 284 205 442 3 4 .253 .329 .449 .779 374 1290 188 387 92 3 73 227 131 316 1 4 .300 .363 .546 .909 If we traded for LaRoche it would make Konerko the everyday DH, Im pretty sure he is supposed to be a plus fielder.

Hard luck day for Viciedo, 3 hard hit balls giving him 2 outs.

Seems like a lot of balls gettin past Desmond at ss, I think longrun he might be more suited for 2B

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 01:32 PM) Second time around, Nats hitters aren't falling for the offspeed stuff. This inning could of gone a lot differently if Quentin didnt misplay the ball in RF.

Even with Berkman having a down year he is still better than LaRoche, I think Dunn could be a possibility too but if anyone I just have a hunch its Berkman, no inside info.

I like Lacey, its just a cute name to me lol

Id imagine its Berkman if we add a bat, LaRoche isnt enough of an upgrade to make a difference and most other guys would cost too much.

Agreed, after the error Freddy should have been swinging... still what a horrible ab by him lol.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 10:59 AM) Does anyone enjoy watching baseball for the sake of the game? I know I still really enjoy just watching a game because it's still the best sport out there. I guess the other question would be can you enjoy a game even if the Sox lose? If it's a well played game it still can be fun to watch. I enjoy just watching a game but its so painful to watch when the wsox lose because of my emotional attachment to them.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) Too bad we don't have anything to trade. Flowers is a first baseman (by most accounts) stuck at catcher. Danks is awful offensively. Dayan's splits are suspect. Mitchell is injured. Hudson is the only one with trade value that could help (and help being the operative word) net a solid bat. By whose account is that, everything that has been reported about him since coming over here is how his defense has improved and I think I remember him winning an award for his defense last year as well.

Be interesting if we keep winning, Id imagine KW is going to feel compelled to trade for a DH. How crazy that in 1 week can go from sellers to buyers.

Vizquel is awesome, at least he knows how to get cheap hits and plays some sick defense.

That top of the 2nd for us looked so pathetically bad, I hope this lineup never happens again.

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) F'n Ozzie is a retard. He truly is. Your GM calls up this big power hitting 3B for a team barely scratching out runs but you leave him sit on the bench. Nice move assholee. He sat him vs Strasburg, no reason to get him to start his major league career 0 for 3 with 3 K's. It worked out anyways since Vizquel was a big part of the Wsox winning yesterday too.....

Rios, Konerko, and Danks all deserve looks to make it but I agree with most in saying Rios will be our lone selection.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 09:54 AM) He is. And you thought Teahan's defense was bad... Its funny how everyone keeps remarking about his defense when I doubt anyone who has posted in this thread has seen it, from what I remember his range and whatnot is fine there based off Cubano and I think the poster in Birmingham said, just a lot of silly errors... I bet he is clearly a downgrade from Vizquel and even Nix but at least on par with Teahen.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 01:53 PM) OK So, I was watching the military channel, and I started thinking about how life must have been way back in the day as a Jew in the days of Hitler ..and honestly it scared the mess out of me!! In my opinion, that had to be the scariest way to live .. ever!! It got me curious to know what you all thought? What moment in history do you think would have been the scariest to live? ..Whether it be dinosaur days or whatever, I wanna know!!! Any time before showers and toilets scares the mess out of me

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 12:28 PM) HAHAHA what the crap?!?! That's hilarious! I honestly never thought about his last name being funny/cool until people on here started pointing it out! Your last name

After watching the NHL playoffs these last 2 years I think that has to be the sport for me, it seems that its the one sport that no matter how mighty you are, can still lose in 1st round.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 12:38 PM) That's why they sent him down! By your logic we should never ever callup someone from AAA because even if they are having success its only against minor league pitchers......

What type of information would he not be allowed to give?
