I feel so much better with Pierre-Omar batting 1-2 & Alexi-Vizquell at third and short that I think not only should he come back but the Sox NEED him to come back.

Been a Sox fan since the sixties. A few good years here and there. Since Kw and Ozzie have been running things we either win or are competitive every year This franchise has gained alot of respectability in the last 5-7 years. We have become accustomed to being close and or in the playoffs and world series. Lets not get greedy and end up worse off than we are now. I believe the Sox will continue to knock on the door and even win another championship with this tandem. ..........There are times they can really piss ya off though!

Can't Coop fix him?

What's wrong with Jenks? His velocity is good. He is not throwing the curve as much but when he does it seems to be good. Keep him in the mix and if no one becomes a lock down closer then give it back to him. I hate when we lose, but the way we lost the last game in Minnesota and the last game in Seattle really hurts.

Dye was once a very good outfielder. He slowed later and that cost him but he was and probably still is better than CQ in the field. If CQ is DH then we have "swing for the fences with every swing" Jones in the batting order. Pick your poison.

Jenks is still the man........Of course Linebrink........

Wasn't this thread about Morel? Teahan gets activated and Viciedo goes down, thats it.

Sox pick up a washed up starter off the scrap heap and Coop fixes him

I've listened to hawk since he started with the Sox. It's all true. He is homer, and the dead air, whatever else you want to heap on him in negative way I won't argue with. But as a Sox fan I like a homer, I like the joy of a win and the pain of a loss he gives us. I dread a national telecast because we don't have Hawk to celebrate or suffer with. As for Stone? He was a cub so it is taking a while to warm up to him, but I am beginning to respect his insights. He is starteing to get excited by our run and I like the entusiasm. Go Hawk and go Sox!

Package Teahan in a trade deadline trade. The hated "cubs" wanted him at one time if I remember right. Teahan for Zombrano?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 03:32 PM) It's about time for Linebrink to go on his annual month and a half DL stint anyways, and the Sox don't need a 12th pitcher, so that's what I suggest. This I like!

He is not a 2 hitter. Leave him where he is. If gets and stays hot move him up to the 6th spot. He is a rbi man not a bat handler.

If he doesn't go in as an Indian, then who can say for sure mlb would put "the big hurt" in as a white sox. You must have consistency in this area.

your what hurts?

Once we know how good he is,won't everyone else know too?

d. all of the above?

I almost thought of one, then I had a "brain cramp".

His latest favorite? Don't stop now boys!

Kc is six games behind the Twins. You can be sure they are salivating at the chance to get in the hunt. Don't overlook this series. They are 7-3 in their last ten, coming off a road sweep in Seattle. Take care of our own business first, but I have to admit I do love seeing the Twins fall.

Maybe not brutal in the field, but below average. Once around the league and he will have to make adjustments. Could help us out for a while though. I don't think he is up to stay.

It's pretty bad when you wish you had Chris Getz back. I'd rather have not traded him for Teahan. Anyway, Beckham's glove is not so good you can carry that dead bat all year. Not if you plan on competing for the playoffs. Ramirez was a good second baseman but he is playing too good right now to mess with him. Nix would also have been an answer but is gone now. Play lillibridge there. Viciedo and Teahan at third. With Vizquel, the magician, as relief at all three spots. Beckham has got to go down, and get it together. He will get another chance if he does well.

Overall I like both Gardenhire and Leyland. The question though was at "gut check" time who do you like best. I'll take the unortodox, frustrating Ozzie. His players seem to come through in a pinch.

He had trouble making adjustments after the league adjusted to him near the end of last season. They started pitching him up, and then low and away. He chased both, and constantly fell behind 1-2 or 0-2. He seems a little better lately and of course still has the potential to be solid. Maybe he needed these growing pains , a little lesson in humility can make one more humble and determined. I'm pulling for him as all sox players, but he may still end up in the minors. He has to get close to .250 and play solid defense before he is my regular second baseman.

We got rid of Thome ( a left handed home run hitter ) so Ozzie could get away from an everyday dh. Now we are going after Dunn ( a left handed home run hitter ) to make him our everyday dh? I don't get it. If we are committed to a new style of play then lets commit, and get past the slow strikeout guys in the middle of our lineup.

When Jenks comes back keep Threets up and lose Williams or Linebrink.
