I understand your point, and to some degree it is true, but when you speak up like White, then proceed to get ripped in your next 2 appearances afterwards, you aren't gonna be winning any fans over. He has been bad against TB and KC, with 7 ER in 2 IP max. Just because a player "cares" doesnt mean that he gets the benefit of the doubt when he pitches s***ty.
I wonder how Paul Konerko was a supposed leader then since he spoke so much but did nothing to back it up other than one half of a season last year
Hmm...I may be wrong here, but I'm not, but PK hasn't said ANYTHING about why he was struggling this year. HE made no excuses, put all the blame on himself, didn't piss and moan when he wasnt playing. He handled it like a professional, something Rick White could learn. PK knew it was all on him, and even admitted it.
