Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The rotation would be awful. But I wouldn't mind the lineup. I also wantto point out that there is no way I'd have Howie Kendrick on a bench anywhere. That guy is going to win batting titles. As far as my lineup I can't throw out predictions yet...gotta see what happens with Buehrle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) Well, if I were GM : Starting Pitchers: Buehrle (because Kenny finally got drunk enough to give him a NTC), Zambrano (because he's a Sox fan), Garland, Vazquez (because the Sox gave him a diminished skills clause similiar to Frank Thomas'), Danks Relief Pitchers: Linebrink, Jenks, Aardsma (because his name makes him sound like a pirate), Masset, Floyd, MacFrougal Konerko, Iguchi, Uribe, Fields, AJ, Pods, Rowand, Ichiro, Thomas! Man, that'd be a smoking hot team. Minus the crappy bullpen. Edited July 6, 2007 by Beastly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 In reference to the first post, if Crede and Fields were both on this team, I'd dh Joe with his back and let Fields have a ball at third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) batting order: 1st - Ichiro Suzuki - CF 2nd - Danny Richar - 2B 3rd - Jim Thome - DH 4th - Paul Konerko - 1b 5th - A.J - C 6th - Josh fields - 3b 7th - Ryan Sweeney - RF 8th - Juan Uribe - SS 9th - Lastings Milledge - LF bench - Erstad, Ozuna, Hall, Andy Gon, Jerry Owens Pitching - Buehrle, Vazquez, Danks, Floyd, Gio bullpen - Jenks, Thorton, Mcdogual, Day, Logan, Linebrink I figure Garland, Dye, Contreras, Mak-o-wak, Iguchi, Pods all being traded or let go. I figure most of the players we get back to not be ready yet. Edited July 6, 2007 by GoSox05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 OK, here is what I would do: take every AAA or scrub player right now and make them a full time starter. Take the remainder of our roster and trade it for prospects or other teams' scrub players who can fill in the holes. We're golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm just going to assume to worst. This way, there's no possibility for disappointment Lineup: LF - Fields CF - Erstad RF - Sweeney 3B - Crede SS - Uribe 2B - Richar 1B - Konerko DH - Thome C - Pierzynski Starters: Contreras Vazquez Garland Danks Floyd Bench: Ozuna, Terrero, A. Gonzalez, Hall and some small, lefthanded (preferably veteran) Latino MIF with no bat. Whether he exists in the majors or not, we'll trade for someone fitting this discription in the minors. Bullpen: MacDougal, Thornton, Jenks, Boonito, Aardsma, Sisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 If Ichiro is ever on this team I will shed tears of joy. I doubt it happens, but it would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsox Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 11:03 PM) If Ichiro is ever on this team I will shed tears of joy. I doubt it happens, but it would be great. That should be KW's 1st priority in the offseason: Sign Ichiro! But then again, I'm sure they'll cheap out and sign back his exalted grindness, Darin Erstad for another yr of playing for a month and getting hurt the other 5 Or A-Rod opts out and Bora$$ uses KW's lustfulness again to drive up his price on Anaheim as KW misses out on Ichiro and signs whatever overrated pitcher is left in FA after Buehrle signs with the Mets. Oh God, I hope I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 The most important question is largely unanswered here: what the hell are we going to do to fix the bullpen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoota Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Starting from the top with a competent manager, Tom Kelly. Brian Anderson would be starting in center. Sweeney would get a look in LF. Crede'd be gone with Fields taking over. Contreras and Dye would be gone for sure. Erstad, Podsednik, Terrero, Cintron and Gonzalez would all be gone too.
