Sox setting up for the end of the Konerko era?
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 7, 2013 -> 10:44 PM) Six year minor leaguer currently 27 years old. Big power, draws some walks and gets on base, strikes out a lot. K numbers improved slowly in past few years, but up again this year to high 20's in %. Hits lefthanded. Big dude, no speed, defense is decent from what I've seen. He's not really a prospect, but he's a good guy to have at AAA in case your 1B/DH types get hurt. He's not a long term plan for a major league club that wants to compete. Sorry for the late response but thanks for the info. Sounds like he's a cheaper version of Adam Dunn

Just saw the replay on the Lexi "foul" ball. No way that's foul, where the ball landed it shouldn't even be a question

Leo "The Lip" Durocher would be turning in his grave...
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 6, 2013 -> 12:53 PM) You have to be joking. Or trolling. Gillaspie was acquired during ST in exchange for a lottery ticket A-ball pitcher, and has been one of the best hitters in the lineup. Seriously with this? Add to that superb defense

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 6, 2013 -> 09:39 AM) And just because Robin is calm and collected with the media, how does everyone know he never gets on players? I know when he was playing, he ripped Frank Thomas a new one when he was out of line. The White Sox take infield and outfield more than any other MLB team. The blaming him for guys missing cutoffs is beyond hysterical. What is he supposed to do? People act like the players are 8 year olds and the manager is one of the dads like a little league team. Get real. We are dealing with grown ups here. Throwing temper tantrums doesn't usually work all that well. Once in a while to make a point, maybe. If your manager at work yells at you all the time, does that make you a better employee? Excellent post

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2013 -> 04:15 PM) Get healthy and start taking bats to people's heads first and foremost. I'm not sure if that is contradictory or not. If this team keeps playing this way, yes, fine, Peavy is a moveable piece come July. If Dunn keeps hitting the way he has the last 2 weeks, maybe you can get lucky and drop him on waivers Otherwise, play the guys you have the rest of the way. You guys want to develop this cheap young talent, but then guys like Flowers, Viciedo, and Beckham struggle out of the gates like most players do (just ask the Royals), and then you declare the position open and unfilled. +1 good post. I agree 100 %

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 30, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) YAY SABR ANALYSIS VENTURA.... DeAza misplayed it again, took the wrong route and first step was in the opposite direction. MORELAND NOW 8 for his last 19 against lefties. Great work, Ventura. See what I mean???

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 30, 2013 -> 10:20 PM) Can you explain further why you believe this to be so? Random plays on the field, base running, a few blunders. Again I said it seems to ME. I'm no expert I could be wrong, but no one is a expert so I guess it's more opinion on how he looks and handles himself

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 30, 2013 -> 10:04 PM) Probably because there is a lot less ground to cover in the corners. Or he's an idiot. Who knows. Our team is far better off with him in CF with the possible exception of when Danks plays there...but in that case, why would you want to rearrange the defense for the few times he plays? Ok, fair enough. I now a lot of people won't agree with me but I think Alejandro is somewhat a "dumb" player, lots of ability but the marbles are a lil lose when it comes to baseball smarts, but that's just IMHO
