January 25, 201313 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 02:55 PM) Take out all his good games, and I bet his OPS is s***. Cherry pick all you want. BTW, it's probably the .730 as referenced earlier. That's still better than most of the team put up. Well those 3 straight games with home runs were in October and they also were when the Sox were eliminated from contention. I agree with Marty that Viciedo was brutal against RHP and maybe could have sat a bit more often. However, the other options out there weren't much better and would not have won the Sox the divison. (Plus, Viciedo's worst moment was vs. a lefty, that bases loaded AB vs. Chen in KC. I still have nightmares about that one.)
January 25, 201313 yr De Aza also missed 20+ games from late July on due to various injury/illness which would make it harder to put Viciedo on the bench.
January 25, 201313 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 02:51 PM) Take the last 3 games against Cleveland out, what's his OPS? Right, so Kenny failed by not trading for a lefty-platoon player for Viciedo sometime over the last three weeks of the season. Edited January 25, 201313 yr by Eminor3rd

January 25, 201313 yr I love this is the Matt Lindstrom thread and yet Marty has found a way to derail yet another thread by spewing the same unrelated garbage again and again.

January 26, 201313 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Lindstrom official with #WhiteSox. One year, $2.8M plus $4M club option for 2014. $2.25M in bonuses and escalators based on games finished. Bonuses and escalators in Lindstrom deal with #WhiteSox are over life of deal. Me like.
