Only if they don't watch Caulfied show #AWESOMEWHITESOX

I came.

Wow. Well, that there is THE definiition of insanity.

This turd of a thread has not a single good post.

Right, so all of this is bulls***. Nobody should listen to this. The Sox have had the ability to draft pretty high since 06. Instead, they sign agents that are always OLD, SLOW, big-name guys..... to get butts in seats. Don't challenge me, Caufield - I'll give you the list. The Sox have....... absolutly s*** in their system, perenially rated one of the WORST systems to bring up players. I don't even know what possesses you to chanllenge these facts..... You can say what you want, but as long as this team doesn't draft smart and groom, we can expect the same.

This a fan-board, right? If you have to ask, you're full of s*** too. Go to WSI. I invest in the Sox, year in, year out. Ok by you, Caulfield?

Who cares. You don't know s*** about Baseball.

I don't get the point of this. I mean - Sure, many things I agree with, some I don't...what do you want from this post? This is a horribly put together team (IMO). I've said it too.... when they were only 10 games in. What are you...like...trying to accomplish with this? Are you going to tell a bunch of guys/gals the stats? We can ALL see them. We also know who KW was, he played his chips for a winner year in/out... like what is the f***ING POINT of your post??? Team sucks - what do you suggest? GTFO. Stupid waste of time.

Man, this team is s***ty...

Fixed.

Beckham sucks. Who cares if he's back? Doesn't help the team at all. Not sure why people even care - he's simply not very good at baseball.

"Hyperbolic"? What is hyperbolic about this team in the last 8 yrs? If anything, a dip in 07 and heading for another this year, but the rest is a straight line, my friend... NO HYPERBOLE. If you prefer looking at the saber metrics, those are pretty much flat too. We hit homeruns (pretty much consistent); we don't get on base, don't walk well, low is XBH... I can't find ANY hyperbole, actually, in anything I said! I appreciate you (sort of) agreeing, but your first sentence was the most important and you completely contradict yourself. *Edit - It occurs to me that you don't know what it means to say someone's statements are "hyperbolic". In fact, I'm 100% sure you have no idea what it means.

Bah, you know you're being a tool now. I'm sure you're aware I'm talking about the long list of veteran s*** and "grindiness" that's been paraded through the roster that's been nothing but wasted $. "Free Agent" or not..you know I misspoke putting them all in one category, but you know what I'm saying..... From Erstad, to A-Ram...Griffey.... Let's not forget Mackowiak, O-Cab, Swisher, Betemit, (Rios - pretty much until this year), Pierre, Kotsay... Youkillis (yeah...hit .236 and under .350 OBP)...Dunn. Goes on and on...

You guys are ridiculous. How ANYONE, on this planet or any other, can find an ounce of value in Adam f***ING Dunn... Its just beyond rational baseball analysis. At any level. He is COMPLETELY worthless.

Right - Good luck with all this; from placing stats on call ups/fill ins to your explanation of "decision making." My favorite part - "...might have overestimated what Kepp and Konerko would provide this year...".... Yeah - no s***. Keppinger was a throw away from a better team than us, and Konerko...come on man..... How long did you REALLY think he would last? Lastly - where do you get off talking about Viciedo??? Might be the only POSSIBLE bright spot on this team, and he's been COMPLETELY mishandled over the last year and 1/2 and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a real Sox fan who would disagree with that.

LOL...You found just ONE error, eh???? Here's my issues with your article (in bold - your writing): "If you still have Dunn on your fantasy squad, this is not the time to dump him. A season like his last seems to be in sight now, with high home run and RBI totals alongside a very low batting average and adequate on base percentage. Dunn is the ultimate buy low (really, really low) candidate at this juncture. For fans, prepare the right field bleachers: Adam Dunn is coming back." I don't know if you've been watching Adam - since you wrote this. - He's worthless. Like - COMPLETELY - WORTHLESS. It's in the record books, how bad he is. Only an idiot would keep him. - LOL. He's the ultimate...Sox Free Agent Buy. Too late, you missed it, buy the Jersey and show up, see nothing but disgrace. - Yeah... Hillarious. But in all seriousness... No. No, he's not. My 2 cents - take it for what it's worth.

Sounds like a Sox player to me...

:shrug:

We staff our ballclub with PATHETIC OBP players...year in, year out. When we OVERPAY for OBP, they turn to crap as soon as they wear the uniform (including and ESPECIALLY - Greg Walker days). I don't know what to say - have seen it over, and over, and over, and over, and over, again..... If you don't get on base, you'll be a BAD hitting team. It's a fact. Runners rattle pitchers - we all learned this in little league... Yet the A's and Rays and all these no-$ teams draft and play smart while we flounder without a single .300 hitter and one guy (who is a complete flake) OBP'ing over .350....(won't last) Joke.

Why would anyone listen to Rongey? Game is over - what does he EVER say that isn't either obvious (you can look up yourself) or bulls*** excuses, (i.e. the company line)? He's useless.

We got 'em just where we want 'em... Oh yeah... Just wait. Oh yeah.

Just what the team needed. And JUST in time too!

What are you talking about, dummy? Question might've made sense in 2010. To ask it now...is like... rhetoric.

^ This except #6. All Chris has to do is pitch. In the meantime, big $ guys like Paulie, Dunn, Rios, Peavy, etc. just have to play close to their worth.... Tall order, huh? They all suck. Completely overpaid.
