January 27, 200818 yr Swisher should be hitting second; I just wish we had a real leadoff hitter with a good OBP to plug in in front of him.
January 27, 200818 yr QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 27, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) what is with all this PK batting 3rd stuff? Did Ozzie say that? yeah seriously ... I would never see Thome batting 5th even against lefties .. plus Thome and Swisher are good players to get on base and having them bat behind players that smack it like Konerko and Dye that makes no sense ... anyways i think the point was Ozzie saying Owens will be watched this spring
January 28, 200818 yr If I had it my way, we would somehow trade Dye for a leadoff hitting center fielder... 1. Player aquired via Dye, CF 2. Cabrera, SS 3. Swisher, LF 4. Thome, DH 5. Konerko, 1B 6. Fields, 3B 7. Pierzynski, C 8. Quentin, RF 9. Richar, 2B

January 29, 200818 yr QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 12:13 PM) Oh I see. So the fact that Josh only hit 52 HR in 1400 minor league AB is due to focusing on something else. Now he's going to shoot right up to 40+ HR because he's now unleashed. If only it were that simple. I got to thinking about this one last night, and went back and did a little research. There are people who have the tools, but develop their power at the major league level. Go back and look at the minor league numbers for Maggs and Robin. Ordonez never hit more than 18 homers in a season over 5 years in the minors. Robin hit a grand total of 3 hrs in his only minor league season.

Trading him for prospects would be a complete waste, and would piss off many fans. If someone like Noah Lowry is offered in return, I suppose the Sox should take the deal. Just because KW is in "win now mode" doesnt mean he isnt allowed to make a trade and get spects in return.A quality trade is all Sox fans would want,we wouldnt be pissed off if we got a decent spect in return.
