August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 06:31 PM) He's probably feeling sorry for himself, and you can't blame him, but he's going about getting a major league gig all wrong. I agree. He struggled last year too when he was sent down.
August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 06:31 PM) Fields isn't long for the White Sox organization, but he won't be waived. He's probably feeling sorry for himself, and you can't blame him, but he's going about getting a major league gig all wrong. Teams will wonder why a guy who has performed like he has the last 2 seasons thinks he should be handed a starting job on the major league level. He'll hang around as fodder for some team for a while, but probably won't have much of a career. Hes done with us...below average fielder, below average hitter (cant cover the fastball). He just like Joe Borchard he played his way out of the organization with poor performance and a lack of improvement over the years.

August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 12:32 AM) I remember when people were penciling him into our starting lineup with thirty homeruns. Guilty. See my predictions in my signature.
August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (striker62704 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 03:40 PM) Guilty. See my predictions in my signature. LOL. I was very optimistic.
August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (Jim Spencer @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 07:48 PM) I agree. He struggled last year too when he was sent down. Last year he was injured most of the year.
August 12, 200916 yr I might very well be the only guy on the planet with a road grey #22 Josh Fields jersey. Edited August 12, 200916 yr by Greg Hibbard

August 12, 200916 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) If you face him anywhere but USCF, you have a chance. Hitters hit better at home and pitchers seem to pitch better at home...maybe that is what home field advantage means but I don't know.
August 12, 200916 yr As much as most are down on Fields...at this point it really doesn't make any sense to just jettison him when our roster is going to be turned around the next year or two and infusing youth. Letting him stay down there a while and get his game back and go from there wouldn't hurt anything.

August 19, 200916 yr Josh is up to .302/.380/.556 so I guess this thread was every bit as premature as it seemed when it was started.
August 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (Jeremy @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) Josh is up to .302/.380/.556 so I guess this thread was every bit as premature as it seemed when it was started. Glad to hear it. I hope he continues to rake so he has some trade value.
August 19, 200916 yr It would be nice to have him on the big league club so Gordon can actually get a day off once in a while.

August 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (WCSox @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 04:25 PM) That might be a possibility when the rosters expand next month. Or when Getz is back (Nix getting a spot start at 3rd).
August 19, 200916 yr I wonder where Josh will try to resurrect his career next year. The NL somewhere? Minor trade?
August 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) Or when Getz is back (Nix getting a spot start at 3rd). Wouldn't mind that either. Nix is hot right now and keeping his bat in the lineup would be a good thing.
August 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) For a time there I thought the Sox had two solid guys at 3rd. D'oh Morel is still in the system....
