CWSOX45 Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 We've dumbed up a bit It's fine if Konerko wants to "cheat" a bit with a power swing on a 2-0 pitch or (less likely) sees the pitch so early and so well that he feels confident about jumping on it...but it isn't the case: I see so many 0-1 power swings that result in foul ball and pop ups I feel sick. Gary Ward should get the f*** out if he can't teach his hitters value of opposite field hitting. Konerko and Lee in particular should be embarassed. If he is as dumb as he seems during interviews, I am scared for these hitters. Somebody tell me why I shouldn't be pissed right now You should be pissed. I'm frustrated with Carlos Lee, Borchard should be on the roster and not Josh Paul. CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSOX45 Trade Lee and bring up Miles...use Daubach in LF for now...breaks up the righties in the middle of the lineup. Put Dauber at #5....and Konerko at #6....IMO, that'd work out great....and if Konerko needs a rest....use either Dauber at 1B....or Graffy or Miles or someone like that. Hell, use Thomas and have Alomar DH. Something. I seriously would really not mind at all if Lee got traded...hell, trade him for prospects....and have JR do it. Don't let KW know about any of it.

BrandoFan Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 I'm frustrated with Carlos Lee, Borchard should be on the roster and not Josh Paul. But can you imagine Borchard in the hands of this moron? Do you want to have Kieshniek 2.0 on your hands? I think Borchard needs a full year (maybe 2) at AAA. I'd rather have him up at 26+ ala Helton and dominate than to have opposite pitchers find a small hole (as of spiring training it wasn't that small, lol) in his swing and exploit it until he is sent back down crying. Part of the reason is Lee's salary and the fact that nobody expected PK and CLee to suck this much. They were suppoed to finally put it all together this season, having each displayed 3 months worth of all-star talent in the past 2 years...s***, Borchard and Valenzula are insurances for next year if one of Lee/Konehead/Hurt isn't back.

If only it was that easy, I want Borchard to be our everyday left fielder. Lee really needs to take a seat on the bench until his bat comes back.

YASNY Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 How in the hell is Lee's bat going to come back while he's on the bench? This guy has too much hitting talent to give up on him after one bad week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has too much hitting talent to give up on him after one bad week. Hitting jaggernauts don't bat .090 on 2-0 count. Something is horribly wrong with his "eye" and his approach. Too many strike outs and pop ups, somebody should etch the "if you hit it hard homers will come" on his forehead if there enough room.
