fathom Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Broken hand on a HBP. Hell of a season for him. Definitely look forward to seeing him take on a bigger role next year. Edited September 9, 2011 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 This legit makes me sad. Hell of a year by a guy who was fun as hell to watch play. Get better, Brent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxsoxsoxsox Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) This sux. Too bad more guys on this team don't have the heart this kid shows. He was fighting back tears realizing his season would be over and said he was hoping for one more final push.

Milkman delivers Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 We just have to hope it doesn't become one of those lingering injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 This is terrible. The guy still ran the bases afterwards though. The legend continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 He'll be our 4th OF/Back up 1st next year. I can honestly see him learning some catching too, to allow Flowers/AJ DHing situations. Hell of a season by Frodo, and I wish him naught but the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Dude ran the bases with a broken hand. If only half our team showed that kind of heart. Great year for Frodo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) The saddest part is how his broken hand is going to keep him from ummm... indulging himself over the long winter. Edited September 9, 2011 by Chet Kincaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 That's very disappointing. I saw him get hit, and right away I thought his hand was broken. You could tell he was in a ton of pain when Herm was checking his hand out. Lillibomb was one of the greatest surprises on this team this year. The guy gives it his all. I imagine he'll be back as the 4th OF next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 It will be interesting to see what his playing time looks like next year, and where he plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Probably a better second base option for next year than Becks IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 ChrisRongey Chris Rongey Herm confirms the fracture in Lillibridge's hand is the 5th metacarpal. In case you love details. BSLillibridge Brent Lillibridge Thanks for the love everyone. Very frustrated, but God has blessed me all year here in Chicago. See you all on the field in Spring.

I'm not one of those guys that was going around calling Gordon Beckham the Bacon Slayer and claiming he was a future Hall of Famer, but Beckham does have one hell of a glove. I don't know if Lilli can give you that night in and night out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2nd would be more of a challenge though. Plus I can't see Beckham being this bad at the plate next year. Maybe with a new hitting coach he will have a resurgence in 2012.

LVSoxFan Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Is it safe to call Lilly--if we take Paulie out of consideration, who's a lock--the 2011 Sox player of the year? I mean this guy just DEFINES hustle, spirit, enthusiasm, ability--you know, everything that's missing from the 2011 Sox. Sorry to see him out for the season but doesn't that just go right along with how 2011 has been. Lilly: my favorite player of 2011 by far.
