The real problem of

[Guest wsc425]

many things. The White Sox do not have:

Reliable Starting Pitching from 1-4.

Get a younger bullpen.

A catcher established with depth behind him.

An established centerfielder

A reliable manager

A reliable general manager.

My solutions.

Work especially on mechanics in May and explode in early June. If all fails, trade for Ponson.

Colon, Buehrle, Ponson, Loaiza. No number 5 is needed. 'It keeps the arms strong and builds them up healthily.'

The bullpen needs work. We don't need White or Gordon. They suck. Yes Gordon sucks too IMO. Not as of now, but he will shut down soon. The Sox should most definatly trade Buehrle to the Cards and get something IMO. For the idiots who like to argue, that is IMO. IMO. IMO. IMO.

Acquire a catcher. Cincinatti and Arizona are power houses of catchers.

Go out and get Everett. Borchard is at best a left fielder IMO. Remember that is IMO. Once more so no arguements occur that is IMO.

Managerial change would greatly benefit the South Siders. KW will hire a KW guy, so Valentine is out of the picture IMO. Two words come July, Wally Backman. IMO. IMO. IMO.

Lastly, the Sox need a new GM, but its not going to happen so we all must back down and watch Kenny Williams terrorize our organization for years to come.

This is garbage.

 

1. How many teams have reliable SP 1-4... Yanks & A's is about it.

2. If they had a bunch of kids, you'd say we need more veterens.

3. Alomar is established, Olivo is solid depth.

4. Ok, I'll give you this one.

5. Nothing wrong with JM noew that KW is out of the manager business.

6. Agreed.

Also.. There is always the need for a #5. Between Garland, Rauch and Stewart we should be able to fine one that hold down the spot. If Buehrle gets straightened out, 1- 4 aren't bad at all.

.......... Gordon will be just fine. Though I'm about to give up on White. Don't dump MB, he's aproven winner.

We don't need a catcher... Some catcher depth in the minors, yes. But Alomar and Olivoo are better than what most teams have.

Everett is a psycho. He reminds of Tony Phillips. We don't need that s***.

Why let a dips*** GM hire a manager, then fire the GM?

#5 is NOT official in my book

I'm talking about a homegrown catcher that is a freeagent who is about 24-25.

Wow, no arguements. Maybe my IMO's are working?

and I agree further. thank you for saying it in a kind way instead of f*** you. My post was garbage?

Olivo is a young catcher and there is no problem with him whatsoever. He's got a stud arm and is developing very well offensively and has great speed. In a few years he'll be one of the best catchers in the game.

 

Pitching wise the rotatoin has been fine. Look at the team era, its fifth in the AL, thats nothing to complain about. You can go ahead and complain about White, but forget about Gordon. This is a guy with a 95 plus fastball and an awesome curve as well as a solid slider. This guy is a stud reliever as is Marte and Koch.

 

In center the Sox definately have a problem, but I think were going to start seeing Magglio play more out there and then Daubach and Lee in the corners. I guess the few people that wanted that will get there wish, and I'm not really against it anymore.

 

As far as Manuel goes, a manager adds about 5 games or so or could lose 5 games or so, meaning that overall the difference between a great manager and a bad manager is somewhere around 10 games. The one guy that definately has to go is Gary Ward, but even that I don't know cause I really don't know what he preaches. I also like the suttle changes in Olivo's swing and those have been orchestrated by Ward or at least I think they have.

 

The problem with this team is they aren't executing properly. If this team executes, they will fight for the World Series, if they don't, they will be a few games over .500

 

This team is loaded with talent and to be honest, I'm sick of all the complaining in a lot of areas. The blame lies soley on those not producing and thats the players. Williams put together a team that could win, manuel is putting out there and doing what he can to help the team win as a manager. He's made a few mistakes and he's made some good calls, just like every manager.
