WilliamTell Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 When was the last time this guy started 2 for 2? Keep it going and that BA will jump up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Davis might make it to the Mendoza line if he could keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 I think he just needed a change of teams. He looks like he's having fun right now. But who could have fun in this losing streak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I was reading something about him. He was hitting over .300 at the all star break last year, and fell apart. This guy has ability. He usually is a far superior hitter right handed, but has hit both his White Sox homeruns from the left side. I think Sandy needs to retire. Maybe Ben will get some more playing time, and start living up to some expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 From what Roons and Farm were saying, it sounds like he is really buying into the Greg Walker hitting philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Sandy is going to be a great coach someday, I have no doubt about that. As far as Ben Davis, I've noticed whenever I watch he's pretty strikeout prone. Not a Joe Borchard strikeout prone, but he takes a seat pretty often though.

He usually is a far superior hitter right handed, but has hit both his White Sox homeruns from the left side. I think Sandy needs to retire. Maybe Ben will get some more playing time, and start living up to some expectations. Ben Davis has a slow bat, but he is strong. If he wants to get back over .250, he is going to have to shorten and level his swing as much as possible and make a living hitting up the middle and the other way, only turning on get-me-over fastball on hitter's counts and hanging breaking balls. Sounds easier said than done, but guys like him (read: at least half ML'ers) simply cannot surivive as pull-hitters. It's up to him to make the adjustment(s).

WilliamTell Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Just because he'd go 0-10 doesn't mean he should be in the minors. He was just saying that people here will get on him if he goes 0-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoArow33 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Ben Davis looks like a still has loads of potential. He's definitly in physical shape. If Walker can work on his swing then Davis will probably be a decent hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this change of scenery will help him realize that potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 I think the change of scenery is what Davis needed. He got to basically start over here and had no pressure to produce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 If and when Sandy retires as a player, I hope he's still in a White Sox uniform as a coach. That’s what I’ve been saying. Alomar has been an All-Star, but now he’s nothing but an easy out. He should stick around with the White Sox organization though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 His home run turned out to be the difference in this game. This guy is hitting over .300 since the All-Star break. You've got to respect the work he's done to get back on track offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
