QUOTE (hogan873 @ May 5, 2010 -> 11:57 AM) This seems like a strange move to me. One almost has to wonder if KW is trying to set something else up. However, it's not like Coats is a young guy who could slip into the Sox's minors and become a future star...the guy is 28 and hasn't done much in his little time in the majors. Well, one can hope that KW has something up his sleeve, but I imagine this isn't much of anything. I wouldn't read anything into the Coats move at all. He is not an option for this team IMO and if he is then we are in real trouble

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 03:30 AM) who leads off then? Anyone who can get on base

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) So right now, that would put Pierre at a nice NEGATIVE Wins Above Replacement, right? He isn't a positive other than he can steal some bases when he does get on

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) We are an awful team. I mean thats just the bottom line of it And in last place again

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 03:28 AM) With what resources and with what player being pulled by Ozzie? I see Kotsay is in the tank or he sends Nix down and signs a free agent. Ozzie doesn't do that mind you it is up to KW. I am not so thrilled with this Pierre deal either, but can see giving him more time since he can steal bases

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 03:27 AM) I'm willing to concede that CJ Wilson is having a very nice start to the season, but Pierre killed us -- in the field and at the plate. Teams will run on Pierre at will in the field and obviously he is no Podesdnik at the plate

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 03:26 AM) Depressing. How many games are the Sox out now? I think six

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 03:26 AM) Well, I guess we suck again. Really poor effort by a very mediocre roster. We need another hitter

Ramirez

Pierre

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 07:56 PM) As I said in the GT yesterday, the words "Ozzie ball" should be banished forever. We were an "Ozzie ball" team for exactly half a season in 2005 when Podsednik was getting on base at a .380 clip and stealing bases like nobody's business. And now he's gone. We need another big bat

MB needs to pitch a more solid game, which we all now he can do

Got to see the game on WGN. It is certainly fun to see a win and three in a row at that.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 10:42 PM) Time for Ozzie to strike down sense of loyalty just once. Bring on the pen. If Freddie is gettng tired lewt's make a move to the pen

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) Yes sir! Freddie Garcia will win this one today Would anyone think Freddie would have a one hit-one run performance through 6

Yes sir! Freddie Garcia will win this one today

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) Jenks makes a lot of money. I believe and I have no proof of this or knowledge, that if the Sox could have received a pretty good player for him in return this past offseason, he wouldn't be a White Sox. This season, he has looked real good at times, and very shaky other times. I don't think he could net them much unless the Sox were willing to eat a lot of salary or he gets on a roll, and if he's on a roll saving games, the Sox are probably winning so you don't want to move him. That's how he looked last year too. However, I am inclined to keep him unless Putz and Thornton become the new closers

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 04:24 AM) This is one bipolar community... First: Then: Then: Confusing but fun I got to watch tonights game on Fox Northwest, which is the Mariners station, but it was all good when Andruw belted that one in the 9th. I sure enjoyed the pitching of Matt Thornton too

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 04:34 PM) Filling out the lineup is the managers obligation. Filling it out in a semi-competent fashion should be his duty. Players have to produce and Ozzie can't control what they don't do with the bat. They have to produce so a manager can make moves

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 05:34 PM) I was amazed how many people on this site bought into the stupid rotating DH idea in the off season and into Pierre being a productive player. I am glad to see you guys coming around. I still don't think the Peavy trade was bad though. It was a risk worth taking and KW didn't give up anybody I remotely cared about. I never bought into it and a still feel we need a good bat

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 06:11 PM) The problem is, is that Ozzie is outmanaging himself. He's putting himself in the position to fail with the lineups he has going into these games. The lineup is the easy part of managing IMO. You can't really manage unless the players you put out these produce
