BigEdWalsh Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 05:15 AM) If the choice is between Wise and BA in center, it should be BA any time. He's easily the best defensive centerfielder the Sox have had since Jim Landis. Can't tell if you're kidding or not, but if not I'd point out that you're memory is going to hell.

If you are suggesting that either Rowand or Lance Johnson or Chet Lemon were better than BA is in CF, I think you are wrong. Anderson's 2006 season in CF was absurdly good. He has range, speed, a great arm and he takes the best routes to the ball. Rowand was pretty good, but he was more flashy than truly great.

BigEdWalsh Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I was mainly thinking of Ken Berry or Mike Hershberger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I got to be honest here. I don't think David Cook has much of a big league future, but i think he could hit at least .250 playing the same part Wise is playing for this team.

Kalapse Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 QUOTE (LZPride08 @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 01:33 AM) this is the worst journeyman to play OF for the team since Rob Mackowiak.. but he still put up a .250 BA at worst, DeWayne Wise has a BA of a average NL Pitcher Mackowiak hit .285 with a .360 OBP as a member of the White Sox and was the furthest thing from a journeyman when acquired. He was a very productive offensive player for the Sox, his manager's decision to completely misuse him him defensively destroyed his reputation, however.

whitesoxfan101 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Wise and Richard will be gone soon. I am going to lay off the stating the obvious ripping on these two until August 1st. If Richard is still in the rotation on August 1st and Wise still on the roster that day, however, it would be pretty maddening, and I have a hard time believing this team can make the playoffs if those two play the roles they currently are the last 2 months of the season.

Vote4Pedro Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 ask and i shall receive last night after his 0-5 i said that if he is going to still be on the roster can we have a permanent thread to bash him on well the thread was made can we keep it towards the top haha....it's really good we've been winning lately it kind of dampens his 0-4's every night but his defense has been horrible....restovich can play better than him....

Heads22 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Mackowiak gets too much hate. He was acquired to be a bench player, and he certainly hit well. He admitted how badly he felt that he HAD to play CF, and he knew he wasn't that good out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 QUOTE (OldSmoky2 @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) He was my first favorite Sox player when I was a kid. When Bob Elston said "Now Burgess is coming out of the dugout to pinch-hit" it usually meant the Sox still had a chance to win. And he frequently delivered. Yes, he did. I remember some about the article which of course was years ago and it went something about how the guy could pick up a bat and hit in the middle of January. The announcers would laugh when Smokey was used for an inning behind the plate to finish up a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEdWalsh Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Breaking down Wise's split stats, I've come to the conclusion that he should only play against left-handed pitchers of the Cincinnati Reds at Great America Ballpark....in the month of June.

wilmot825 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 With the news of our best defensive player being sent to Charlotte, I just have one serious question. What in the hell does Ozzie see/like about DeWayne Wise? Because I've see this guy play and I really cant figure it out at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonxctf Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 i wonder if every team has fans complaining about their 4th/5th outfielder? Remember Jayson Nix, he's still on this team too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
