If lilli was our full time dh this year and we never signed dunn KW would have gotten crushed by every sox fan including myself. Now look I'm pretty sure we would be in first place or at least 3-4 games better with him in the lineup instead of dunn. maybe way more. weird how this game is sometimes.

Nice looking DP.

2 redeeming moves by the Elf for that first error.

Flowers with a good single up the middle, again.

 

Gordon inside outs a ball to RF.

Awful weekend for Morel.

Another Sox batter hit. Why not? Pitch inside all you want against the White Sox they never retaliate!

 

Blame our pitchers. They have the ball in their hands. It could be a sign of what they really think of their teammates.

When we walk other teams' batters. Ouch. When we walk, normally don't matter.

Lillibomb is an interesting character.

He's pretty much got a power hitter philosophy. If he played as much as Dunn, would he lead the Sox in homers? At this rate wouldn't he hit 30-35?

 

Danks is wild now.

Nice approach to Butler after falling behind.

 

Nice job pitching around the leadoff walk.

Juan Pierre with the bunt hit.

 

He's a good baseball player.

Corner outfielders who slug .337 are not good players. I'm glad he's less embarrassing lately, though.

I'll stand by my comment.

He's a good baseball player and a good leadoff hitter.

 

A lot of fans (not saying you) buried him after his first error of the season. On a team full of bums (this season) he's been excellent.

Wow, that was some sudden transition to being in shadow/cloud

There's no standard by which he's been excellent. On a team full of bums he's been tolerable if you ignore April and May and his fielding.

0.1 WAR. He's not good defensively, has no power, and doesn't get on base frequently. He hits for a good average and runs well (not counting SB attempts where he hurts us). That doesn't add up to much of a player.

To the 80 percent of America who still follow batting average, his batting average is excellent.

His defense is fine.

His willingness to learn how to bunt and get a hit off a bunt is very excellent.

I'd call 0.1 WAR tolerable. We could have lived with a few 0 WAR players if the guys we're paying a lot of money to had played to their salaries

Arguably he's our third best hitter. That's pretty f***ing excellent.

Juan Pierre is a better hitter than Reggie Jackson was. Got it.

 

Why laugh. He's got something like 17 bunt hits.

You may not like the word "excellent." I can't believe anybody wouldn't at least agree that Juan Pierre is a good baseball player.

For the record: better White Sox hitters by wOBA (which credits hitters for everything they do offensively based on the context neutral value it adds to run production).

 

Konerko

Quentin

Flowers

Lillibridge

Castro

Pierzynski

Ramirez

You can take out Castro, Lilly and Flowers because they haven't played enough to compare to steady Juan.

I'd disagree on Ramirez so that makes Juan fourth best on the team. Not bad.

I see your point with Castro and Flowers (though Bridge is getting up there).

 

And regarding Ramirez, are doubles, walks and home runs are meaningless to you?
