Now the real fun starts tonight, with the roster moves taking place. Please don't do anything big KW.

Wise has 5 more strikeouts than hits. WTF?

KW needs to dump Wise ASAP... screw that Oz has a man crush on him.

The White Sox should be ashamed of themselves. Just completely embarrassed.

 

When you say ashamed, you mean emotionally...right?

Bringing in Joe Nathan to retire DeWayne Wise is like smashing an ant with a sledgehammer.

they went into detroit in 1st and they're going to come out of MIN in 3rd.

What a f***ing stud! Gordon makes me so happy.

 

I still wonder where his future spot in the lineup is. I'm gonna say the 2 hole, mainly because he likely won't hit for the power you want for your no. 3 hitter, but you want to get him an AB in the 1st inning.

Typical sox, worrying about their pose at the plate when they park the pitch instead of playing good team baseball, making contact and winning. At least Beckham hasn't sucked down the poison of corpseball.

 

 

Anyone.

 

^^^^^^

 

I guarantee you if Jayson Nix was left handed, he probably woulda pinch hit.

c'mon guys wise is just getting back from injury give him some more time...he'll get a 1-3 AB at some time during the year give him sometime....

 

WOW another 0-4 outing for him...so so so predictable

When you say ashamed, you mean emotionally...right?

 

Can one be physically ashamed? If so, that's how they should feel.

20/108 in hits 25/108 in strikeouts. HE ONLY HAS 3 f***ING WALKS ON THE YEAR....2 sb's

It's debatable. Me, Slav and others see Beckham as a stud 2 hole hitter, with the XBH, gap to gap machine. Fathom, Wite and others see him as a 3 hole hitter, with more power potential, XBH, machine. I honestly don't care as long as he's in the top 3 of the batting order.

HAHA more K's than hits!

I want the most people on base for him as possible. Your best hitter should be batting 3rd, and that's exactly what he is and will be.

CBS Sports has Norris Hopper and Mark Kotsay on the Sox......are they replacing Fields and Wise?

that would be a .185 batting average for Wise....keep running him out there ozzie he'll come through one of these days....

I don't care if he only hits 18-20 homers a year. With his ability to hit doubles, that would be deadly in the 3rd spot with fast players in the 1/2 spots.

and you know cubs will find a way to win tonight trailing by 4 in the 8th

If he is going to have a batting average of .320 or higher with a OBP around .400, then I'd be fine with him hitting 3rd.

Well I agree with that, but I like him as a guy who hardly K's, can take a walk, and can hit doubles and still drive in Danks2, Mitchell, whomever in the future and Flowers or whoever else to man the 3rd spot. If he goes into 3.. you won't hear an argument on my end, but I like a gap to gap machine at the 2 spot.

kinda like when robby alomar hit 3rd for that ridiculous indians team??

In a perfect world, Getz is your #9 hitter and that gives you some excellent speed when the order turns over. I still don't think Danks is a top of the order hitter, and more likely to be in the 7th or 8th spot.

I guess it depends on who else is on the team.

 

Some people might question having Mauer bat second, but it makes sense that you would want to get your two best hitters at bat in the first.

 

I also noticed Beckham isn't pointing his bat as forward anymore and has his hands in closer, so that should help him hit the inside fastball better. It's so refreshing to see young players making the right adjustments.

thome=old

pk=declining

dye only as dh

Getz = sucks
