witesoxfan Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Thomas should be a 7 or 8 hitter until he proves himself. He hit like .285 over most of the regular season this year IIRC...unless they fear a sophomore slump, I really see no problem with letting him hit 2nd.

beck72 Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 He hit like .285 over most of the regular season this year IIRC...unless they fear a sophomore slump, I really see no problem with letting him hit 2nd. CHARLES Thomas may improve somewhat. Yet being so young, he still should benefit from hitting down in the order. Few teams have or want basically a rookie hitting 2nd. Certainly no one comes to mind. Most are vets or guys who have proven themselves in the majors. Unless ATL picks up another #2 hitter, I don't see who they currently have that fits what Giles gave them--good contact, speed, close to a .300 avg. Now if there are rumblings that Vizquel would go to ATL or had any ties there, then that would solve the need for a #2 hitter and a Furcal replacement. However, it looks more likely the Sox would go after Vizquel. The key is would Vizquel have interest in coming here. My guess is yes, as the sox could offer a 2 yr deal, and fit his taste for playing w/ a contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I want Fucal as much as anyone but I doubt we can get him. Our bullpen is in good shape. Just a hard throwing closer and were fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
