May 31, 200322 yr Frank needs to get off the bench and play more first base. He is the guy that can carry our offense when he catches on fire. Start Frank at 1st base 3-4 days per week would be good.
June 1, 200322 yr frank has always done better at bat when he plays at 1st ...... dont know why but he always seems to hit alot better when hes playin as opposed to coming off the bench...........i vote to keep him there..... hell he isnt any worse than paulie anyhow...........
June 1, 200322 yr Just remember last time Frank played first he nearly ended his career diving for that line drive down the line.
June 1, 200322 yr Just remember last time Frank played first he nearly ended his career diving for that line drive down the line. yeah be that as it may.. i always remember frank playing and getting big hits during the game........thats what matters now anyhow and thats all im concerned about .. him hitting and getting back to normal..
June 1, 200322 yr As long as Paulie has been in the rut he has been in for practically all season, I'm for having Frank start at 1B for the time being. Paulie should see 1B two times a week to keep him in condition; however, don't have him start there regularily until he works out the kinks AND GETS SOME SPEED!!!

June 1, 200322 yr A player can stay in game-mode MUCH more easily if he's on the field between at-bats as opposed to sitting on the bench. It will help him forget about a bad AB -- he won't have to sit on the bench and brood over it. Something like a .330 career hitter while playing 1B, as opposed to .280 at DH. If he starts DH'ing again full-time, Manuel is a moron.

June 1, 200322 yr How can he get some speed? My friend Ed will hook him up if he really wants some...
June 1, 200322 yr As long Konerko isn't hitting and Thomas is, start Frank at first base, what are you really losing? At least then ONE of them is hitting.
June 1, 200322 yr As long Konerko isn't hitting and Thomas is, start Frank at first base, what are you really losing? At least then ONE of them is hitting. That should be a no brainer. Let's see how JM deals with this dilemma.
