Who would new managerial candidates be? Buddy Bell?

Maybe they should adopt a play "all out" philosophy.

QUOTE (hawkubes @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 03:28 AM) Let's fire Ozzie and let's fire KW. I'm so sick and tired of this talk. Ozzie's a great manager (yes, he makes mistakes, who doesn't) the players want to play for him. Kenny Williams has made some great moves, i'm so tired of everybody talkin smack about KW's moves. He's doing everything he can to make the white sox a winner, and that's what they're gonna do. Let's go Sox :gosoxretro: Sox fan with a cub fan mentality

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 11:00 PM) This is literally awful. Beckham's floor is higher than Getz' ceiling. I am not saying Getz is a better player. He might end up that way though. What I am saying is if the Sox had kept Getz and traded Beckham maybe for a real left fielder or a closer we would have a better team. Maybe the Sox kept the wrong guy. Beckham's floor is getting pretty low.

I know it's a long season but some things are really getting to me. Not just from this season but for a while now. 1. A.J. can't throw anyone out. No excuses no B.S. he can't throw ANYONE out. 2. Beckham can not lay off the high fast ball. I am beginning to think he needed some minor league time, because mostly HE SUCKS! 3. Dunn....UGH! 4.Morel? c'mon 5.The bullpen...........in fact the whole pitching staff.........not so great. Where is our number 1? Peavey? K.W. got taken on that one. mean while I keep my fingers crossed and say GO SOX!

I knew Dunn struck out a lot but................OMG!

More a discussion of Getz plus what the Sox could have got for Beckham, vs. keeping Beckham. This site often points out the lack of home grown talent. Getz came up through each level of the Sox system. Starting slowly but improving enough to advance all the way to the big league team. He continues to improve now batting leadoff as Kansas City's regular second baseman. Beckham hits eight for the Sox and has had one half of a rookie season that was good. I am not so pro Getz as I am not so enamored with Beckham. I don't care where he was drafted, at this point Getz is producing as much as Beckham. The Sox could have got more for Beckham than they did for Getz. Did the Sox keep the wrong guy?

Getz is better defensively and faster. At least he steals more bases. Their average is about the same but Beckham is a better.............what? At the time the Sox could have gotten a lot for Beckham and also they would not now have Teahen, and his salary.

Just wondering. Would the Sox have been better off trading Beckham and keeping Chris Getz?

The White Sox are going through one of their ugly, almost unwatchable sreaks. Man they look bad. I remain optimistic because I have seen these slumps before. Also Minnesota and Detroit are not pulling away. Cleveland and K.C. may remain in it but will not run away with it. The Sox may still win despite Ozzie, not because of him. He has thrown his players under the bus before (Cabrerra, Ordonez, Jenks) and now he has no closer. He preaches defense and never has it. I am fed up with Ozzie not getting the most out of his talent. Ok enough rant on Ozzie, I am optimistic the Sox can compete in this division because they do have talented players.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 07:36 AM) I'm not quitting on this team... it will be good. Jake, however, I'm done considering him a piece to worry about... he doesn't exist in my books. this

1. This seson so far has a feeling a lot like last year 2. Does this team need a new manager to wake up?

Putz

Putz and Jenks don't look so bad now.

I wonder what Bobby Jenks is thinking?

The bullpen,yikes!

We lead the league in getting hit and are last in hitting others. Last year and so far this year. A.J. protects our pitchers? Our pitchers are supposed to protect our hitters. Hit back! Don't just be a punching bag!

Send a clear message to the whole league. Hit the leadoff batter tomorrow.

Lillibridge just plain beat him out. You knew they could not decide on one of them after the spring they both had so took then both instead of twelve pitchers. One of them was going to go sooner or later. Lillibridge just plain beat him out.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 04:34 AM) My bold prediction this year was that TCQ was going to spend the 2nd half of the season in the 3 hole and remain healthy all year. I know I am going to get flamed for this, but I think Oz should put him back into the 3 hole NOW. The argument of "taking the pressure off him" doesn't hold any water, BTW, as he's hit here before. Let's not mince words here, the swagger and bat flip is back, time to make the move and drop Rios down in the order... Pierre Beckham TCQ Dunn Konerko Rios Ramirez AJ Morel Let the flaming begin... Burn baby burn

Better get used to bashing our way to victory. Could be a very fun year. Lots of high scoring games for the opponents too!

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 29, 2011 -> 08:17 AM) ...and we replace his yearly 220+ innings and decent ERA with whom, exactly? Clayton Richard or Gio Gonzales

He once started the All Star game. I don't think we will see that again. He has been declining for several years now even if the stats don't show it. Maybe he belongs in the bullpen soon.

What we have here is failure to communicate. A generation gap. With a new generation and a new gap. The older guys have been beaten into submission by time. The younger want it all now. So what's new?

If the Sox get rid of Hawk Harrelson and his tired old Mickey Mantle stories I will be a happy viewer.
