Wise is now batting .167 on the season....I think his chances of reaching the Mendoza line are slim

Carrasco, even pitching as well as he has, would not even get you a #8/9/10 prospect in another organization.

 

Unless it was the 2007 White Sox minor league system...then you could trade him for Owens/Brian Russell/Andy Gonzalez.

 

Understand, but unless you think Carrasco is going to be a contributer to the next contending White Sox team, deal him for whatever you can. Borchard brought back Thornton and teams will overpay for pitching at the deadline.

if you dont like it ...just dont watch his at bats....at least thats what ozzie says you should do

right, maybe another team will think he'd make a good starter. plenty of teams looking for one of those.

hey guys its june... what's excuse now from w sox brass of why their not hitting?

Linebrink fail.

Wise has an OPS around .400 this year. Just remember, he's going to be facing a LHP tomorrow.

im not sure why im this mad....objectively looking at our lineup...only two guys (Thome and Konerko) are above average major league hitters....frankly i was a huge chris getz fan at the start of the season...but if he's not getting on base at a .360 or so clip he's worthless

 

 

Getz has a 607 OPS right now.

 

That's not going to get it done. He needs to be at 650 at least, because he's not nearly the player defensively that Nix is.

 

At least Ramirez, we know what he's capable of doing. There just seemed to be too many assuming that it would be easy for Chris Getz to go out and hit 280-290 with a 340-360 OBP.

 

I would take 340, but you're right, with the lack of pop, 360 is more like it. And he doesn't have the stolen base ability of a Chone Figgins type either.

Hitting balls hard, but right at people (which couldn't be more false)

Getz is a perfect example of be careful what you wish for. People wanted a grinder with decent speed, so we end up getting a below average offensive producer. It's why Alexei should have stayed at 2nd, and you groom Beckham to play SS. If Fields and/or Viciedo can't play 3b, then you fire your scouting.

What do we do if Beckham outs on the first pitch again?

Are you Nick Swisher's agent?

 

That got a little old with Harrelson moaning about Quentin hitting in such bad luck...when his approach was pretty much like Thome's, just to hit anything out of the park. Actually, Thome's done a much better job of going to the opposite field than Carlos has demonstrated this year.

Trainwrecks have always been interesting to me though.

Yeah, I don't know why we are so afraid of moving Beckham to 2B. Getz really isn't doing anything productive. AT LEAST in Fields you have the potential for 30 HRs.

Hahahahahahhahahaha.

 

Beckham RULES!

oh.

 

my.

 

god.

Alright Gordon that's enough of that.

What do we do if Beckham outs on the first pitch again?

 

Just laugh

oh.

 

my.

 

god.

HAHAHAHA.

 

Beckham is really beginning to irritate me now. This is just baseball retarded from him.

flip our s***.

 

Let the s*** flipping commence.

 

I now know how Beckham got that awesome contact rate. Let's not overreact about Beckham's game tonight.

you know what? honestly, again, this falls on walker.

 

after those first two at bats, what should the FIRST thing that he told Beckham when he came back to the dugout? "don't do that again"

 

WTF?

Still of the thought that the best possible defensive arrangement is Beckham at 2B and Ramirez at SS...because Alexei has a bit better range and the stronger arm and he looks very comfortable there.

 

You're right, Fields AND Viciedo both failing would be crippling, worse than Borchard not panning out.

 

And, no Hawk, CJ Retherford isn't the answer as a full-time player either.
