Texsox Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 OMG Konerko is looking good. I wouldn't mind seeing a situation that puts Frank out there a couple times a week. I'm still amazed at his productivity when he plays the field. beastly, you bring up a good point, we may want to keep Kong and pray he and Botch turn things around under OZ.

The Beast Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 To be honest, I want to keep all of them. Its just that KW won't allow it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have no problem with him playing first up to 4 times a week would be fine with me...he's not that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Godfather Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I also agree with putting frank out there. His production is so much better when he plays the field that I would consider playing him there on the daily bais. His D didnt look so horrible when he was out there last year. And his average was nearly 70 points higher. It would seem like a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 It would seem like a no brainer. Unfortunately, last year's manager had no brain - and had to prove a point to Frank that PK was his 1B no matter HOW LOW his average sank. Frank looked just fine at 1B last year, and as long as he's going to be here, and as long as the Sox have "financial restrictions", I'd prefer that Thomas played 1B four or five days a week and have a cheap reliable journeyman fill in a couple times a week. If he flops over there, then try to get someone during the season, when a few teams generally try to move guys anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernuke Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 If we can get Palmeiro cheap I would love to see him sharing 1b and DH with Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Palmerio would be great if we are talking under 4 mill. Otherwise I'd just as well see the Sox go after Fullmer. The guy is coming off an injury, but last season he was hitting over .300 and he has a career ops above that of Konerko. He also has similar power numbers and is a more patient hitter. And Fullmer was playing for very cheap last year and likely would get the same if not a little less this year. You could get Fullmer for about a mill a year, maybe even 750K with incentives that could push it up to 1.5 To me he's the best answer because he puts up good numbers, has a great attitude, good work ethic and allows the Sox to spend money in other areas.

What about drug testing though? I'd say Fullmer is at risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Can anyone find out what Frank's AVG was against American League pitching while playing first? I know he ripped up the NL pitchers, but I wonder how he did vs. AL. My guess is he was still better, just not as dramatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 What about drug testing though? I'd say Fullmer is at risk. LMAO...he is definately the buffest player in the majors. Him and Glenallen Hill have always been monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Can anyone find out what Frank's AVG was against American League pitching while playing first? I know he ripped up the NL pitchers, but I wonder how he did vs. AL. My guess is he was still better, just not as dramatic. That is a good question. When people were screaming for Frank to be playing 1B after the inter-league play last season, I pointed out that NL didn't generally have experience at pitching to Frank and didn't really know how to get him out. I thought that was the reason for his hot streak. However, I don't think anyone considered it a viable reason. The fact that in the mid '90's Frank hit so well while he was a 1B seemed to carry more weight. But, I digress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
