Hey everyone, I'm new here so I guess this is my first ever post. Luv da site visit often and I'm a long time Sox fan from Australia. Just some random thoughts:
AWAY GAMES: Ok if the White Sox r going to make the playoffs they need to win some friggin away games. At Home they're gonna win 2/3rd's of there reamining games, no question bout that, but if they can win just half of their remaining away games, they should probably win the division.
COLON: The guy is a good pitcher but he is too inconsistent. Unless we get in the playoffs and he pitches great, I wouldn't offer him a long - term contract. Get the 2 draft picks instead for him. And he should throw nothing but fastballs cos he's a power pitcher.
LEE and MAGGS: If we keep 2 outfielders, it should be these two. Every game they usually get at least one hit, and they r our leading RBI men. If these 2 weren't there with Frank in the 1st half of the year, we would be bottom feeding with the Indians and Tigers, which ain't all that great.
OLIVO: Send him to AAA so he can learn to hit a stupid curveball once in a while. Bring up Burke.
MANUEL: If we don't make the playoffs, he should be canned. Plain and simple. The Royals don't have half the talent this team has and they r 2 games ahead of us. Why? 2 words. Tony Pena. At least the guy knows what he's doing, unlike Jerry.
GARLAND: Throw strikes early and u might actually be a good not average pitcher.
VALENTIN: This guy ain't gonna be back next year unless he picks it up dramatically. We should maybe consider bringing up Miles or Hummel in September to see if they could do the job next year.
Anyway, they're just my thoughts and I look forward to talking to the rest of u later on.
