January 3, 200818 yr Just found out that Swisher's road OPS's (On base + slugging) for the last two years are .889 and .850, exceeding Konerko's career number of .849. That is pretty good given he will no longer be playing in Oak.
January 3, 200818 yr If I'm reading his splits against LHP correctly, this is an excellent move by KW
January 3, 200818 yr Author QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 10:56 PM) How about: .921 OPS vs LHP in 2007 1.022 OPS @ The Cell (Career)

January 3, 200818 yr Just curious, but Oakland's farm system has to be pretty stacked... Who are their top 5 or so prospects? They have Gio, DLS, Cunningham and Chris Carter correct?

Am I the only one who finds it very odd that the White Sox drafting, development, and minor league system absolutely sucks and KW should be fired, while Billy Beane is a God amongst GM's, and yet Beane has spent his offseason collecting guys we drafted?

Oh and who has the World Series ring? When Beane wins one, call me.

Nope. You're not the only one.
January 4, 200818 yr QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 05:14 PM) When did they get Carter, in the Haren deal? That is correct. They got a bunch of guys from Arizona, including both of the guys Arizona picked up from us in the last 6 months.

Dontrelle Willis ain't going to be happy about this move then. Although it would be quite ironic if Santana was dealt to either the Yanks or Red Sox considering our pitiful record against him, and considering we're trying to improve against LHP.

There's still Liriano...followed by Captain Cheeseburger, etc.
