Texsox Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Testing a point about the perceived negativity on the boards. How many posts do we have trying to fix problems, upgrade, etc at RF and 2nd? Hundreds? Now let's take two more positions, SS and CF. How many posts will this go? A dozen? There just isn't any fuel. But damn it's fun watching those guys. They make me glad to be a Sox fan. All that needs to happen is pencil them in everyday and keep them healthy. I don't think we're really that negative. Looking up and down the lineup there just isn't much that needs to be done at most positions so we look at the problem areas because that's where something could be done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 But what about 3B, lol? Watching his spring at-bats…well, he looks more like 2017/18 Moncada. Still have another week to pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the 3 most important positions on the diamond--SS, CF and C, are all manned by our best players on the team. That's good shit right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this thread is pretty much even less controversial than if Gandhi, MLK Jr. and Mother Teresa played C, SS and CF. Well, the Grandal comp might be pushing it, lol. The Three Outcome Saint.

I posted in the "Bold Predictions Thread" Jeff Passan's predictions for the 2022 season. It had Dylan Cease mentioned as a Cy Young candidate. It had Robert in the mix for AL MVP. Passan even predicted the White Sox over the Dodgers to win the World Series. Since I posted that, there has been not a single response.

And this is why front office personnel should not listen to fans the majority of the time when making decisions lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAfan Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Anderson and Robert certainly are awesome. Watched part 2 of the Tim Anderson story today. Well worth watching. Sox have a very deep offense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
