mmmmmbeeer Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 If mods want to merge this with the pinned AS thread, that's cool. Just curious what y'all think...Ozzie seems to REALLY take pride in sticking up for his players, almost to a fault at times. So come July, am I the only one who thinks Ozzie is going to bring a ridiculous number of white sox players with him, drawing MAJOR criticism from the media? Just knowing the way Ozzie seems to feed off of controversey, I think this is very possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I seem to remember him making commnets along those lines last year, but I don't think it'll happen. Ozzie has a lot of respect for the game and it's players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I hope he does. How many years did Joe Torre take half of his team? Everyone complained, but nobody did anything about it. Like I said after the Thome deal, When you finally get to sit on the throne, you better act like a f***ing king. Ozzie can do what he wants, if he wants his boys, more power to him. To tell you the truth, I think the Sox are gonna get plenty of guys voted in as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 All I know is he better bring Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 If the ASG were today, He'd take JD, Konerko, Thome, Buehrle, and Contreras All 5 of them could be there in July, but they have to continue to perform for him to justify taking them... Vazquez is the one I'm expecting to make the team as Ozzie sees more and more of what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 All I know is he'd better bring Ozuna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 He better bring Thome but also be fair to other players in the league, liike stated earlier he does care for the league and its athletes and Im srue he will give full respect and credit to all possible considerations.

sircaffey Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Pauly, Buehrle, Jose, Thome, and Iguchi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 QUOTE(sircaffey @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 03:33 PM) Pauly, Buehrle, Jose, Thome, and Iguchi Gooch! I do hope he gets put on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABearSoX Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I think he'll bring whoever it takes to get us home field for the series again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 The following players all have an argument to make it in some form (so far). Thome Konerko Dye Iguchi AJ (if he keeps the avg up above .350 lol) Crede Buehrle Contreras Vasquez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Almost more importantly, he gets to choose the starter for the game. The cool thing is, this should mark the 3rd White Sox ASG starter in 4 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damen Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I'm sure Ozzie will find a way to get Timo some quality All-Star at-bats. He's so clutch, you can't leave him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 maybe he'll let more players rest if they want it...what say you to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Like everybody is saying I think Oz respects the game and won't take somebody who is hitting .270, but he's gonna take a lot of Sox iwhich is only reasonable considering we're World Champs. Right now, Iguchi has to be considered as well as Thome, Mark B, Jose, Konerko, Jenks, Dye and A.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I can see Contreras, Thome, Konerko and Iguchi. I like Buehrle as a player, but he hasn't convinced me yet that he's an All Star this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALso Crede is playing All-star baseball. If he keeps this up, he should be an all star no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hate to say it, but it might be hard for Ozzie to actually bring Thome. IIRC, the AS game is at a National League park this year, which means no DH's, and there's a ton of guys out there playing good 1b or with big reputations. Tex may get voted in again, Giambi, Shelton, PK, Sexson's sure to heat up at some point, Big Papi (He's got to be there somewhere), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I betcha by the time things roll around, Cotts/Politte/Jenks (at least 2 of them will also be representing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
