SSH2005 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 He also struck out twice. Sounds like he's trying to jack homers like last season so he doesn't have to run the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 No matter what Frank Does to change things, I don't think his body will hold up to baseball this whole year. Just that swing of his puts a ton of pressure on that body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 You know, all things considered, I'd still take a Healthy Thome over a Healthy Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) Why? He's always been a "Me" player, and I think it'd be fitting if he didn't reach that goal. I guess his statements about the Sox organization makes me deem him unworthy of gaining that goal.

Even including money plus the price to get the player as well? Not a chance in hell I do then. Give me Thomas. If both are guaranteed to be healthy, I take Thomas, use him as my DH, let PK go to Anaheim or Baltimore, and then trade Anderson/Rowand along with Gio and Haig to Florida for Delgado. I then have the lefty bat I needed, and, if I'm thinking right here, a little bit more money to use than the Sox did this offseason...perhaps enough to save from dealing Vizcaino in the deal to Arizona for Vazquez...or also perhaps keeping Duque, and using him as a swingman. Multiple impossibilities I could ponder upon...but everything I've said is pretty much a waste because there's about no chance in hell Thomas is healthy, so it's all a moot point.

GoodAsGould Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 While ill take Thome now just because no way Frank will stay healthy for a whole season... When healthy Thomas just has that presence in the batters box that no one on the whitesox currently including Thome can compare too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLAK Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I see he's played consecutive games and will start the season on the roster, rather than the DL. This is better than I expected, good for him. It will be interesting to see how much they are able to use him. While I had hoped the White Sox would retain him I knew he would cost 3 roster spots any given game: his, the guy who runs for him and the guy who finishes the game at DH. He's going to have to really hit well, like he did last year, to last under these circumstances. A slow start could get him released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
