http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...ack=1&cset=true Jeez, Ozzie doesn't hold back. I would guess that the lineup will look something like this... Podsednik LF Uribe SS Thome DH Konerko 1B Dye RF Iguchi 2B Pierzynski C Anderson CF Crede 3B

Notes: Paulie warms to 'C' Konerko could accept captain role; Sox arms feel strong http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws

I agree with you. I was just adding that position in a lineup also affects RBI production.

Another reason RBI totals are neglected is because they are affected by position in a batting order. For example, if Dye had been our #3 hitter all of last season instead of batting mostly sixth he would have finished with more than 86 RBI's.

Judging by the moves the Sox have made, they are trying to repeat in the next two, maybe three years.

If Thome puts up his healthy numbers the next two seasons or so without a big decline I would actually argue Thome because his offense would be slightly better than Dunn's. Thome can be the #3 hitter we were missing last season. Dunn really isn't a #3 hitter. Over the long-term, I would much rather have Dunn though.

Dunn is playing 1B now. He also draws a ton of walks. And you had better be ready to bash Thome for striking out a ton as well. The fact that Dunn can't hit a sac fly is pretty funny though.

This isn't really true. An outfield of Crisp, Sizemore, and Blake still wasn't very strong. Crisp's numbers would look much better in CF than LF and Blake sucks. They traded Crisp to fill an even bigger hole in their system, third base (Aaron Boone sucks). A quality third baseman is a lot harder to find via farm system or free agency than a quality corner outfielder.

I know that you were just joking. I was just posting what Thome said.

I doubt it. A player is only eligible for RotY if he has spent less than 45 days on the major league roster.

The White Sox with the trophy at the Bulls game at half-time!

Chad Bentz Javier Lopez Arnie Munoz Stephen Randolph Paulino Reynoso One thing is similar about all of the lefty candidates -- control problems. I'm thinking either Bentz or Lopez will win the job. Bentz because of his stuff or Lopez because of his submarine delivery.

Here's what Thome did say... http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws

Hinrich is tearing it up (6 of 11, 18 points). Chandler with 10 points and 9 rebounds at half-time. I won't be able to rip on him anymore if he keeps playing like this.

:puke

Wow, brutal. That looks pretty bad in hindsight.

:uhoh

That's why I was asking. As far as I know, Owens plays LF and isn't very good in CF.

White Sox will ease into things http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/sportsstory.asp?id=147910

Details? Or did KW just say that the plan for Owens is to be a center fielder?
