Young doesn't have the needed range to play a good defensive short. He has to be moved back to second.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) Ozzie...I never said he'd be a bust. However, I don't think he's strong enough to be a productive hitter in the majors right now. I think he can become a very good MLB hitter....you'd just like to see him drive the ball with more authority as he matures. So .... which side of the fence are you on? Sweeney will be a player worth keeping after his arbitration years or he will not?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) I've said this all along, but he reminds me too much of Sean Burroughs right now. Hopefully he drives the ball better than Burroughs did. Are you saying he will be a bust? Step out, one side of the fence or the other.

QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 07:44 PM) How long until people start saying Sweeney is the next White Sox outfield prospect bust? On this board, I'd be shocked if it hasn't been written already.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 19, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Quit. You mean lose.

What did this team do to deserve such venom?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:44 PM) It is one thing to back Ozzie. It is another thing to speak in absolutes. Laughable. Virtually every poster on this board speaks in absolutes.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) Wealz is making a lot of friends here quick. Tone it down a bit dude! Is making friends a requirement to posting here?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:36 PM) No. He is a sox fan, who is tired of the team he roots for sucking it up, and playing like they can't wait to get to their precious vactions. I get it. When they win they care!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:33 PM) SWING THE FREAKING BAT! This team deserves to get booed non-stop tomorrow night. You must be a Cubs fan.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) The manager hires his own coaches The manager did not hire Walker. What IS Kenny Williams responsible for?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) I can't believe people actually want us to re-sign him this offseason. Every pitch he throws is a meatball. You must not pay attention to OTHER team's middle relief.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:22 PM) THe GM is not coming up with the hitting approach of the team. The GM must approve of the hitting coach, he still has a job.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:21 PM) PK isn't in a massive slump against a certain type of pitcher. Thome is virtually worthless against LHP for about the last two months. That's a GM issue.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:18 PM) So is Konerko. And when is the last time Konerko was pinch hit for in that type of situation?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:12 PM) Why not have PK ph for Thome here? Because Thome is being paid $10M+.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 12:12 AM) Haha, what am I? Just curious. Read what you've written if you don't know what you are.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 12:00 AM) This comming from the guy who's never seen a negative Buehrle thread, you can't be all that perceptive then. Everyone who reads these threads knows what you are (misspellings and all.) You're comfortable with that so I have no issue with you on a personal level.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 11:58 PM) Damn, you REALLY don't read that often do you? I read often enough to know you don't understand the game.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 11:52 PM) I don't think you understand the tone of this thread. The thread was started by somebody defending Ozzie's piss poor management, and calling out the "Ozzie Haters". No one in there right mind is defending Mark Buehrle, hence, no "Buehrle Haters" thread. Comprede? Guillen gets raked over every day on this site while Anderson, Buehrle and the like get a free ride.

Guillen's worth is measured by the fact that there isn't a "Buehrle Haters" thread right now. He takes ALL the heat so he players dont have to. QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 11:46 PM) Correct, the starting pitchers have not been bashed once on this site all year. Where's the Buehrle haters thread? Cat was throwing BP tonight.

Guillens worth is measured by the fact that there isn't a "Buehrle Haters" thread right now. He takes ALL the heat so he players dont have to.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 02:12 PM) How were we an underdog?? We finished with the best record in the far superior AL, and had the best pitching by far. Look back to April 2005.

Guillen deserves as much credit as any manager of the underdog teams that have won a World Series in recent history. Guys like Kelly, Pienella, McKeon, and Scoscia. In fact, he probablly deserves more because he took a concesus third place team in the division before the season and won the most games in the A.L. before storming through the postseason @ 11-1.

What about Tom Kelly though?
