DBAHO Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) Umm wait till Uribe comes out in 05... Tell me the basis of this statement, because here are some facts squarely against it; - US Cell is extremely beneficial to RH Power Hitters - He is not coming into training camp overweight, which was an early rumor in the off-season. - Had splits of .293/.340/.481 against RHP Although his home splits are definitely much better than his away stats, I can't see much of a reason to think Uribe will be a bust for about $2,500,000 next season, compared to other SS's in this league (you know who I'm talkin about).

Steff Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 20, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) For once I agree with ya.. I don't care if willie hit .400 in the minors.. that doesn't mean squat until you hit in the majors which Pods has done. Which is the point I tried to make to Kenny at last years Sox fest.. :banghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 The thing is with Harris, a lot of us at this time last year thought he was going to be nothing more than a AAAA player, someone who's too good for AAA, but not good enough to be an effective everyday player. Still for all those Willie bashers, .262 with a .343 OBP wasn't the worst statistics for a second baseman in the league, especially for Willie in his 1st "full" season in the majors.

He doesn't deserve the money we are giving him. What other SS, the one that has won something? Look get over the Cabrea trip we all know we lost out on a great player cause KW was to stupid to realize it., so instead we waste money on a player who can barely hit his weight on the road, and wonder why we can't win here Back to the topic at hand.Funny Pods hit better on the road .274 then he did hitting at home.. which is a good thing since.. you have to win both places to makes it.. and having Uribe on this team as our starting SS, sure as hell can't rely on him.

So I guess Paul Konerko isn't worth $8,750,000 either because he can't hit well away from the Cell either, even though he puts up .277, 41 HR's and 117 RBI's. You're not going to find many productive everyday players who can hit better away at a pitcher's park than one hitting at home in a hitters park. Also about Pods, he went out to a lot of fly balls at Miller Park, and that's one thing that worries me with him hitting at the Cell. He's just gotta learn to hit the ball on the ground a lot more, and try and run out some singles to get on base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle was must be worth twice as much as we are paying him since he's so much better on the road than at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at that contract, if Buerhle continue on with his great form over the next few seasons, how big of a bargain will that contract be compared to other starting pitchers around the league?

greasywheels121 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 *BUMP* http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/cws/new...5news&fext=.jsp Center of attention, revisited: It looks as if Rowand could be back in center and Scott Podsednik in left, according to Guillen's comments Wednesday. Guillen seemed less concerned about Rowand hurting himself playing center, stating that Rowand had earned the spot and he could get hurt playing anywhere in the outfield. But nothing is definite. The outfield already has changed twice in Guillen's mind since the start of Spring Training. "My best guy right now in center field is Aaron," Guillen said. "We are looking to do the best we can defensively." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
