hammerhead johnson Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 According to Paul White, the Sox are the 9th best team in the AL. I could actually live with this assessment, but I seriously can't believe what he said in his description of the Sox. This is Magglio Ordonez's team. He's miles ahead of the rest of the boppers. The only guy who makes anywhere near the impact is unsung shortstop Jose Valentin I guess that it helps to actually watch the games, yeah? Frank Thomas and Carlos Lee are clearly up there with the elite boppers in the game. Hell, I'd rank Paulie ahead of Jose in terms of overall bopping impact. What a silly b**** this guy is, eh?

[email protected] While I agree with Thomas and Lee being on there(or in other words, I am disagreeing with White), I tend to agree with him on Konerko(or I am disagreeing with you about Konerko), though I do not agree with him fully. If you go by 2003 numbers alone(which is wrong and incorrect and inaccurate, because, generally, you should go by what players have done in their past 3 years, and even in some cases, that is also misleading; like for instance for a Frank Thomas who has suffered a serious injury within the past 3 years, it is inaccurate because you don't know how they'll do), Paul Konerko has worse numbers then Jose Valentin...off the top of my head, Paulie had numbers that were something like .235 18 65 .700 OPS(maybe his OPS was not even that high), and Jose was about .240 28 80 .750 along with hitting about .260-.270 against RHPs(which is him batting LH) while putting up some pretty damn good numbers late in the game while Konerko was the opposite. Basically, when you make the Valentin-Konerko argument going solely on the 2003 numbers, Jose beats Paul handily. And indeed, what a silly b****!
