Imagine if he were in a NL farm system. Turn him into a pitcher that could hit HRs.

Who could forget Kittle and Luzinski's roof shots? No cheap homes in that park.

I think these things are created by agents to justify getting a below average player decent money. I don't think you can copy and paste stats when switching leagues. A NL pitcher throws to 8 legit hitters while an AL pitcher throws to 9 and the guy batting in his spot is often one of the best hitters on the team as long as they are not managed by Renteria. I do think there is some caution when our eyes look at paper and not look what goes on in the field.

Charlotte is playing the last place team and Durham is playing the 1st place team.

Somehow they put those on a scoreboard and whatever team has the most RBIs in a game wins. They haven't done that for WAR yet.

I think agents create these stats.

I'd love to see what the exit velocity was when Jim Rice lined one in the first row of the CF bleachers at old Comiskey. Then CF marking was 475 ft. It was ruled a double. Only later the camera revealed it would have been a homer but that's how hard he hit it.

The perfect White Sox.

Do today's stats prove there is an advantage of R vs L anymore?

Maybe they are just really bad. It's a shame that someone in the pen not named Bummer would rise to the occasion and go into mental midget mode when the starter gives up 6 runs.

Get plenty of Kleenex.

Since when does an old school manager bat their worst hitter 4th?

But the individual does. There is this strange sense of betrayal. The ownership reinvents stupid every day. How many times did we hear "show up and we'll make the team better"? Imagine Domino's saying eat more of our pizza and we'll make it better? It's more logical to drop this team until there is new ownership. You hope the new ownership would gut out the organization. Then again new ownership could be worse.

They don't play the loyalty card. They fire people in their organization,

1&3rd, no outs, a base running error and 2ks.

I hope your right. We owe Alonso an apology.

I'd worry he'll be there next season. Anyone know the Sox record when he is behind the plate?

Charlotte is in mental midget mode. 4 game WC lead soon down to one.

The Sox NL pitchers - Alonso, Reed, Castillo We have the only manager in baseball that bats the worst hitter 4th.

I'm beginning to many just want to be miserable. It's interesting the pointless debates during game threads instead of enjoying the game.

Those black uniforms come handy. Imagine if it were those white ones.

They haven't been losing a lot lately.

But we still have to cherry pick on why he sucks. I think it's great he got that many RBIs with the clean up hitter having an avg. only shared by NL pitchers.

I don't think your analogy holds up.

That's the frightening part. The Sox are not so frugal when it comes to paying bad players.
