Dick Allen

One bad game? He is a career .207 hitter against LHP with no power. This year in 42 AB he has 8 hits 2 rbi and 0 HR. Oh, and 19 k's. If Ozzie must play him against LHP, they should let the pitcher hit, and DH for Valentin.

They don't know what is causing pain in his elbow, and yet they claim he'll be back in 3 weeks. Don't believe it. So the doctor is saying "I don't know what it is, but it should be gone in a week". This injury reminds me so much of Danny Wright's injury in Spring Training last year.

I haven't sat up there for a few years, but I bet you will be pleasantly surprised by the view. If you are in the infield in the first few rows, it totally blows away the view from the bleachers, and lower reserved.

LTP=Light Tower Power, which was the scouting report on him when the Sox drafted him.

I didn't laugh. Joe B.

I'm pretty sure that lady was HSC

You're right. In his minor league career, he has.

I take that to mean you have no idea.

Yes the one guy Joe Bauman who hit 72 homers and never played in the majors. Your quote was "littered". That means you are aware of several more. You insult me and everyone else who ever disagrees with you, so how about backing up your statement?

Can you name a few of these players?

You obviously aren't familiar with Jose Valentin's minor league statistics.

Borchard coming into this year, had played 393 minor league games. He played hurt last year, and his development slowed. He has tremendous power. And when he hits homeruns they are shots. He hit a 420 foot line drive in his first game with the White Sox. Due to the fact he was a big football star, he has not played a lot of baseball relatively speaking, for a professional his age. He has a lot of ability. He is a very hard worker, and is hard on himself. Trying to justify his bonus, doesn't help him either. Don't count last year against him, he had a wrist injury. The upside is tremendous, Baseball Prospectus compares his late development to Jay Buhner.

One thing that is encouraging, even after the rough first, they came back. Prior years, the game would have been over.

He's off to a bad start.

That's one part of his game I will agree with you on. He is, by far, the best baserunner the Sox have, and have had for a long time.

There was one out, Perez had to make sure that ball got through. He failed

He actually played 3B for the Sox a few years ago for a few games. There's a reason he doesn't anymore.

Why didn't someone from the White Sox organization fix his glove after it happened the first time? Then why not after the second time? If someone is assigned this duty, they should be fired.

Crede not getting his glove fixed has so far cost the Sox 2 runs. There is no excuse.

For the love of God, Crede has to get a new glove.

If it was Ozzie, you wouldn't have been able to understand it.

Its groundhog day watching the White Sox run the bases the past few years.

Pitchers routinely comeback from elbow surgery. Kerry Wood a fine example. Its the shoulder that is even more of a concern. Danny probably blew out his elbow in the Spring of 2003, when team doctors found nothing wrong with his elbow even though he had major discomfort. This probably led to mechanical adjustments to bear the pain, which probably led to shoulder problems. These are the same doctors who found nothing wrong with Barcelo, and KW was bad mouthing him, only to lead to Barcelo having surgery himself. I believe the White Sox named new team doctors this season. Hopefully they can detect these injuries sooner, before the players cause more damage trying to play through the pain.

According to AM1000, neither is in the line-up tonight, but will be in uniform.

JR was on the Score a couple weeks ago and mentioned that Griffey would never play for the White Sox. Thank God.
