March 26, 200619 yr He also struck out twice. Sounds like he's trying to jack homers like last season so he doesn't have to run the bases.
March 27, 200619 yr No matter what Frank Does to change things, I don't think his body will hold up to baseball this whole year. Just that swing of his puts a ton of pressure on that body.
March 27, 200619 yr You know, all things considered, I'd still take a Healthy Thome over a Healthy Thomas.
March 27, 200619 yr Agreed. Healthy thome > healthy thomas. At this stage. I believe. Maybe not before.. but now. go thomas tho, get your way to 500

March 27, 200619 yr QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) Why? He's always been a "Me" player, and I think it'd be fitting if he didn't reach that goal. I guess his statements about the Sox organization makes me deem him unworthy of gaining that goal.

I just happen to dislike Frank and think he's whiny. You like him and think he's not. It's not a big deal.
March 27, 200619 yr QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) You know, all things considered, I'd still take a Healthy Thome over a Healthy Thomas. Even including money plus the price to get the player as well? Not a chance in hell I do then. Give me Thomas. If both are guaranteed to be healthy, I take Thomas, use him as my DH, let PK go to Anaheim or Baltimore, and then trade Anderson/Rowand along with Gio and Haig to Florida for Delgado. I then have the lefty bat I needed, and, if I'm thinking right here, a little bit more money to use than the Sox did this offseason...perhaps enough to save from dealing Vizcaino in the deal to Arizona for Vazquez...or also perhaps keeping Duque, and using him as a swingman. Multiple impossibilities I could ponder upon...but everything I've said is pretty much a waste because there's about no chance in hell Thomas is healthy, so it's all a moot point.

This more or less ended when you said this... ''If both are guaranteed to be healthy''.
March 27, 200619 yr While ill take Thome now just because no way Frank will stay healthy for a whole season... When healthy Thomas just has that presence in the batters box that no one on the whitesox currently including Thome can compare too.
March 27, 200619 yr QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) You know, all things considered, I'd still take a Healthy Thome over a Healthy Thomas. Is that judgment based on numbers or bias? Give me a healthy Thomas over Thome no doubt about it.
March 27, 200619 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) Can't wait to see frank get 500. Hopefully he will. I am rooting with you and every other sox fan...or most.
March 27, 200619 yr 15 responses, and no mention of Josh Fogg? Quickman, Flash where is joo guyz? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can't rip on Josh Fogg when your team has Matt Thornton in the bullpen.
March 27, 200619 yr QUOTE(Whitewashed in '05 @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) Is that judgment based on numbers or bias? Give me a healthy Thomas over Thome no doubt about it. Both.
March 27, 200619 yr I'd take a healthy Thome over a healthy Thomas. I'd also take PK and Thome over Thomas and Delgado. Why? Attitude.

March 30, 200619 yr QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Mar 27, 2006 -> 05:31 PM) and you're racist I know that is in green, but my remarks have nothing to do with skin tones.
March 31, 200619 yr I see he's played consecutive games and will start the season on the roster, rather than the DL. This is better than I expected, good for him. It will be interesting to see how much they are able to use him. While I had hoped the White Sox would retain him I knew he would cost 3 roster spots any given game: his, the guy who runs for him and the guy who finishes the game at DH. He's going to have to really hit well, like he did last year, to last under these circumstances. A slow start could get him released.
