Maybe the the Sox throw Viciedo in the right field mix ,add LaRoche at 1st and Dunn for DH/1B. I could live with Dunn and LaRoche.

I guess I'll have to agree with you both NSS72 and TBolt. I'm sure the Thome situation sticks in the craw the most where we could have had him for so cheap and then we spend the money later like close to $10M on Jackson and Ramirez while giving up a pretty good pitcher we had under control for a while. That's the "debacle" part and the constraints supposedly now on the payroll.

Dye f***ed up and now wants a job but still wants to play outfield or 1st base where he's unproven. My guess is he'd be a bad 1st baseman with as much range as Paulie . DH is about it but he has to prove he can still hit but yet won't accept a minor league deal. Still delusional. Hope he's prepared to sit out another year.

Major props to Lexi on his superb season . He is now amongst the best SS's in the game. Who woulda thunk it ? And yes please Alexei try hitting early in the season for once.

Buehrle is the only pitcher to ever win multple GG's and have multiple no hitters.

Still to early to say because many non- tender candidates will be hitting the market soon.

I like Tank a lot. He hasn't got to where he is now by looking at pitches . Much rather have a guy who can hit and not take walks than a guy who can take a walk but can't hit a lick. He's a baby , he will learn. Right now his strength is tatooing the ball and I'm fine with that. If he was 24 and still hadn't found a position he can play or take a few walks once in a while then he can be a DH.

Alexei had a pretty good day too.

And that's a White Sox winner/season !!! Bye Nancy !!

Juan with a 3 hit day . 3 ribbies maybe he can get caught stealing so the Sox can end there season appropriately. Nope stole 2nd.

Lillibridge the K machine.

De Aza continues to hit well.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 01:17 PM) They should have taken out kotsay in the middle of his at bat so that he could have also received a standing ovation. Damn shame. That was funny.

Just watched Dayan bat against the sidewinder and it made me think what if baseball players could have a coach communicating to them through a headset in the helmet. After Dayan got down 0-2 and the pitcher pitched the next one outside I thought he'll go out there again and try to get Dayan to fish. And sure enough he did and Dayan swung and missed. You would think a coach could communicate the same stuff.

Thanks to all the 2005 WS winners who are left and maybe be gone next year. Would also like to see Beckham get in there to PH. Flowers 1st hit !

It's not certain if Walker will return. From Whitesox.com : CHICAGO -- Even with Ozzie Guillen firmly entrenched as manager for the 2011 season, White Sox hitting coach Greg Walker has yet to decide if he will be returning. "I never make a decision before getting away from baseball," said Walker, who originally spoke about his pending decision a few weeks ago to the Sun-Times, before Guillen's return was made official. "Ozzie wants me to come back," Walker said. "Our coaching staff and manager are clicking as good as we ever have. Our manager has had a great year. Our coaching staff has fought the fight. We are a very close-knit group. I would miss that very much, but my family comes first." Walker's present hedging on returning for his eighth full season certainly doesn't mean the White Sox will be shopping for a new hitting coach. As Walker explained, he simply likes to get away at the end of the season, "go out in the woods in Georgia and chill," before making a decision. That process follows whether Walker has three years on a present deal or one year. He'll certainly run the final call by his family, but Walker pointed out that he also has a baseball family in Chicago to consider. "This is part of my family, too, so it enters into the equation," said Walker of his love for the White Sox. "I never make any decisions until the season is over. I love this job, I love the players and I love our staff. "Chicago -- it's my home. But I don't rush into it because I don't have to. I've done other things, so I know I'm capable of doing other things. I still have a great deal of passion for this job. Over the years, we've gotten good at what we do here, and we are getting better every year. So, that's where I'm at."

Viciedo 2/3 double and HR now batting .310. Morel 1/3 double, DeAza 1/3 rbi double, Lillibridge 1/2 2 rbi single, Flowers 0/1, 2 walks, 2 runs scored , still batting .000. Pierre, Vizuel, Konerko and Teahan combined 0/11. Sox win rain shortened game 6-2.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 08:11 PM) I don't know what is sadder. That Viciedo is making Ozzie look stupid again, or Flowers already having 4 walks in 10 ABs to A.J.'s 15 walks in 472 at-bats. Flip a coin.

Viciedo 2/3 double and HR now batting .310. Morel 1/3 double, DeAza 1/3 rbi double, Lillibridge 1/2 2 rbi single, Flowers 0/1, 2 walks, 2 runs scored , still batting .000. Pierre, Vizuel, Konerko and Teahan combined 0/11. Sox win rain shortened game 6-2.

QUOTE (elgonzo4sox @ Sep 30, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) PAULIE!!!! (grand slam HR, 4 RBIs) TANK!! (2 run HR) JONES!! (2 RBIs) JOHNNY D!!!!!! (6 solid innings to earn win #15) SANTOS!! (2 solid innings in relief, including striking out the side) MOREL! (nice defense at 3rd) Did we just see our 2011 rotating DH/1B duo: Konerko/Viciedo? I hope so... Let's keep on winning. Someones paying attention. Nice to see

Nice come back win. Sale again looked darn good and awesome of Dayan to hang in there with 2 strikes after hardly getting any AB's lately. Quentin said the same thing in the post game interview.

Amazing what a bunt can do

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 25, 2010 -> 12:53 AM) He's the next Joe Crede, only without as much power. I'm in the Morel camp and actually think he can have as much power as Crede and even more.
