Bonkeymutt Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Paulie better not be back. Why don't you want paulie back? He's a good hitter and a solid first baseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) Ross Gload will not be the Sox starting first baseman in 2005, mark my words. Even if Paul Konerko does not come back, Kenny Williams will go out and get a real first baseman. I agree. I think PK will be the starting 1B in 2005. 2006.....I'm not sure yet.

The fact that he has called out players multiple times in his Sox career. I'm sorry Paul, what have you done to warrant such actions? To me, he's a stat padder. Carlos Lee to a much lesser extent.

Rowand44 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Ross Gload is not an everyday 1B for a good ML baseball team. Nobody knows this for sure, all Ross has done in his professional career is hit. He plays a great defensive 1st base and he can run for a first baseman as well. Personally I think Ross would do a fine job as an everday first baseman but I will say I highly doubt that he ever gets a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Who cares how he is away from the ballpark? The chemistry down there is excellent by all accounts, Konerko is in the lineup every day so he's obviously a bit part of it. That should be good enough for us fans, but apparantly it isn't.

TheHammer Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 The comments Konerko made were only a big deal on this website. Didn't effect the team obviously. I think Konerko is the longest tenured guy on this team besides Frank, he has a couple AS selections and has been in the middle of the order here for half a decade. I think it is fair to say he does have some kind of leadership role in the clubhouse. A bunch of guys here have decided they don't like Konerko and no matter what he does some people are going to act like he is the anti-christ regardless of reality.

That should be good enough for us fans, but apparantly it isn't. i was going to say something similar to this. i don't think anyone can deny the fact that a lage part of the sox' success this year has been due to the fantastic team chemistry. konerko is down there everyday and he is certainly not hurting the chemistry any.

Guest JimH Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 A comment was made about his off field stuff.. I just responded to it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes Steff I know ... that is the main reason I did not quote your post directly. My reaction is more this, I think lots of people on this board, and many White Sox fans in general, take what these guys say too seriously. I am not suggesting most of the player quotes are given tongue in cheek but I am suggesting they can easily be taken out of context and then broad brush impressions of players occur. Everyone will have their opinions on certain players and that is great. I think though that many Sox fans and probably sports fans in general put a halo or devils horn on an athlete's head for reasons other than their on field performance. If a guy is a menace to society that is one thing ... but off hand quotes, etc. - that stuff happens every day in pro sports and I tend to dismiss a lot of it. I see it a lot on this website ... every quote from a player is interpreted to fit the posters preconceived notion of that player. We saw this with Frank for how many years, the guy would make a seemingly innocent remark and all the Sigmund Freud Sox Fans would interpret it that he was being a baby, whiner, etc. So that's where I was coming from.

Gotcha. I specifically went out of my way not to comment on Paul on the field. It's obvious he's an asset there. I see your point though.
