BigEdWalsh Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 6, 2013 -> 01:13 PM) Very unorthodox considering we got him to be contact/obp type guy. Guess the White Sox culture rubbed off on him. Beginning this season he had 179 career walks and 173 career K's. Welcome to the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2013 -> 02:07 PM) When has it happened with a Sox player we drafted and "developed"? We have been told Viciedo is what he is, as is Beckham. Both are potentially the two best offensive players the Sox have produced in years. (Which isn't saying much obviously)I am not saying it's definitely going to happen, but it can. Â I still can't believe people want the Sox to totally rebuild considering the players they have drafted and not developed and how prospects like Molina and Castro and Lillibridge, and the next Jon Garland, Jeff Marquez have turned out. Just to mention a few. Buddy Bell recommended Teahan and Keppinger and said Mitchell was a different player this spring. He gets promoted. A bigger voice. A rebuild would be a disaster.

Dick Allen Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2013 -> 02:21 PM) I don't believe Bell has done a very good job with the farm system. I really don't know what he's done after his playing career that warrants all the praise he gets. When he was managing, the teams he managed were better the year he took over managing and also improved the season after he left. He gets a lot of credit for the White Sox minor leaguers and they haven't developed an impact bat since he's been around. And it seems when they do bring up players, not a whole heck of a lot of them seem to know what they are doing all the time. Â It is a head scratcher trying to find some accomplishment where he can hang his hat. He must be able to talk a good game because he's pulled the wool over a few teams' eyes.

Molina, Castro, Lillibridge, Flowers, Marquez, Nunez...Gillaspie has been really good so far, hopefully it lasts, but these types of acquisitions aren't setting you up for future success.

Is Manto the fall guy, or do they just trade off everyone and blame the players?
