He mad some sweet passes last night, and he's scoring like hell. This may have been our best pick since Jordan. I don't think we've had a rookie whose made such an impact after MJ.
Things look like they'll go our way. I think this team is good enough to win this division. We have the best rotation and lineup. Kansas City could have the best bullpen, but if their starters are getting shelled and averaging about 5-6 IP per game, that pen will wear out quickly.
2002 Odalis had a 3.00 ERA, 15 wins, and 222.3 IP. Why didn't he repeat last year? Basically, we get another Jon Garland....for Thomas. I hope JG proves he can be our #3 so we won't need to deal Frank, I'd miss him.
This is a little clip from Reed's scouting report on Baseball America I saw as I was reading:
"Doug Laumann, who lasted three years as the White Sox’ scouting director, may have hit a home run with Reed. Reed played mostly first base during his first two seasons at Long Beach State before moving to the outfield as a junior. "
Could there be a possibility he plays 1st base in the future?
If this LA thing works out with Konerko for Perez. I think Randall Simon would be a solid replacement. The guy was amazing with the Cubs in the playoffs. I don't think he has too many cooties from the Cubs, since he was there just 3 months. Anyone agree? I think he's the best available replacement at 1B. Certainly not wanting Gload playing there. Williams said that he wasn't trading Thomas. He never said anything about Konerko.
