Milkman delivers Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 OK, B-R is confusing me. It may be even less than 44 games with an appearance in the outfield for Lillibridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about how he performs against lefties, and he hits them very well. After two seconds of research, it was easy to see that you had only looked at Juan Pierre's handedness.

Soxbadger Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) Hard to believe there are 8 pages of debate on whether we should vote for a turd sandwich or giant douche. Its the last guy on the roster, Sox must have felt versatility trumped the fact Lasting may have been a (slightly) better player.

Marty34 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'm still trying to figure out why Milledge dogged it on that double in KC. You'd think that a guy who is running out of chances in the big leagues would've played with more of a sense of desperation on that play.

Chicago White Sox Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 People need to look at Lillibridge's minor league numbers. He's a terrible offensive player period. He'll probably hit around .200 - .230 at the major league level. He doesn't provide plus defense at any position either. He only offers speed and versatility. The problem is with a four man bench, he'll sneak into the lineup far too often. He will start costing us games. In a sport where every regular season game matters, small moves like these add up and can make the difference between making the playoffs and not.

You could have wrote that same paragraph about Milledge in reference to his defense so far this year. It is pretty easy to argue that he very well already cost us at least one game this year.

Marty34 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'm not a Lillibridge fan at all, but that doesn't mean you keep Milledge. His numbers don't make up for his lack of effort. Again, he's a 4th OF'er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers don't make up for his lack of effort. Again, he's a 4th OF'er. And? Who said otherwise? Nobody wanted Milledge to start. But I'll wait until more about this hopefully comes out. This can't be based off of a few mental lapses defensively over the course of a whopping two games. The White Sox have been home to some of the worst individual defenders the league has ever seen. '07 to '09 Jermaine Dye, CQ and Teahen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty34 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I don't consider jogging after a ball that's bouncing toward the fence with a runner circling the bases a mental lapse. Milledge isn't a good enough hitter to overlook that. Hell, he's not even a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks seem to forget that a role player off the bench is not the all star player like Konerko, Dunn or others. They bench plays a specific role when called on. I believe Lillibridge does a good job for us and gives it his all. Edited April 8, 2011 by elrockinMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You raise a valid point, but based on one play I can't say Milledge didn't deserve the opportuinity and may well still be on ths team. He lost out ths time simply because of the relief corp failing us in the first few games plus Lillibridge has more flexibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I sure hope one of our starting OFers dont get injured for a long period of time, i feel a whole helluva lot better with lastings in the lineup for a long period of time over lillibeiber....If a starter does go down and Dayan is back, what are the chances he gets the call to start?

Buehrle>Wood Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Twitter chatter says he accepted his assignment. Not sure if he even had an out-clause. Guessing we'll still have to wait the three days for waiver claims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
