Greg Hibbard Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Any chance he could play first base if Paulie goes? Or is that something the White Sox would never look at doing again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 No way. You would just be setting him up for another injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next day is Frank Thomas has been added to the 15 day DL with discomfort in his foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) I was under the impression that the entire reason the ankle was re-injured was because he rushed back, and with the proper healing this time around, it would be fine eventually. He says he has no pain. Â That's why I said "say Frank is healthy". I mean in a Tedy Bruschi "good as never having the stroke" kind of way. Older, sure, maybe a little more prone to injury, but as fit as ever and in great shape.... Â I wouldn't be against having that option...for that price...

Dick Allen Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I think KW handing over the World Championship trophy to Frank at the rally was as sentimental as the White Sox are going to get with him. I think that was KW paying homage to him for his service. I doubt he is back with the Sox, if he is even able to come back at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank had no pain in his foot when he started playing the field in 2004 during interleague games. Â Then Juan Pierre hit a ground ball to him. Â He's played in like 20 games since then.

Seems other people feel the same.  Hoping he'll be able to play 1B in 2006 is like... someone this time last year expecting the Sox to win the World Series.

(please dont respond to this with crunched numbers) There is more to life then just wanting a guy back. Â Look at Jeff Bagwell and the Astros. Sentimental value says Astros fans would want him back so they can see him win a ring. But at a value of $17M, is he worth it with a bum shoulder? Hell no.

He Gawn!!! Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Since the Sox bought out his contract, cant they resign him with a ton of incentive clauses. Like he has to play a certain amount of games? I dont see why not. And if that is the case, I cant imagine the Sox saying "HE GAWN!" to the Big Hurt. I love Frank, it would kill me to see him in another uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
