Balta1701 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 JT. We need a LH bat to balance the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thome. We need OBP. I don't care which side of the plate they bat, but this team needs OBP. Thome even on the decline gives you a .360 OBP and a .800+ OPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Jim Thome, we could use his bat in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 We can also adequately use Jones as a DH against LHP with Thome in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Voted for Thome. Â Dye is the guy I'd want back more, but we need a lefty. Thome would be a big upgrade over what we have now (absolutely nothing) and he is one of the better options out there for what we would likely have left to spend, if anything.

Quin Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Kittle. Â He's going to SoxFest. Â But between Dye-Thome, Thome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHITESOXRANDY Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 There's no chance Dye is coming back. I'd take Thome back but I really do prefer the idea of not having a DH that can't play the field for this team unless he was a real stud.

bmags Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 There's a chance we are underrating Dye and possibly missing out on a great year (yeah, duh that's with everyone.) I, too, was just sick as hell of him after that second half. But recently, I can't help but think about how pissed I was he didn't make the all-star team. If we took a flyer on him, I'll hold my tongue...possibly my nose as well. But I just have to wonder if Jim really has another year left in him.

I'd take Thome back but I really do prefer the idea of not having a DH that can't play the field for this team unless he was a real stud. Â Â Exactly, Thome is no stud by any means. As long as he NEVER plays against a lefty, I'll take his 2 strikeouts, 1 weak selfish groundout to the shift, no speed, and 1 walk per game against good pitching, and his 3 for 4 with a HR once a week during a blowout.
