sox-r-us Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines After reading that article, I started worrying about what we do in a World Series game. I know - most of us will be happy if we make it the WS again. But last year, losing Carl was ok for the WS games. But with Thome..... We better start having Paulie practice 3B or something and we better have the AL win the A/Star game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 PK is never playing anything but 1B. Just stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) Konerko can play center. He was drafted by the Dodgers as a catcher and I'm sure AJ has played a little shortstop some time in his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Anyone remember a few years ago when some guy at soxfest asked about Pauly playing 3rd because it worked on his xbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 A cartoon flashed in my head when I tried to picture PK playing 3rd. Anyway, Thome is an AWESOME weapon to have sitting on the bench late in the game in NL parks where PH's are used extensively. I got no problem with it.

Listen...If I can take out an entire base of alien invaders, capture the flag, and run it all the way back to my base, then paulie can play third. Its obvious. XBOX is real world simulation.

Konerko will never play a position outside of 1B or DH for the rest of his career. Exactly. Back in the Dodgers system, he was drafted as a catcher, moved to OF, and then moved to 3B before finally becoming a first basemen. All of this is fun to talk about but he will never play another position for the rest of his playing days. Unless of course were back in Oakland and Jermaine Dye is playing SS again. Then all bets are off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 QUOTE(rudylaw @ May 24, 2006 -> 08:41 AM) I remember at the start of the 2000 season, Pauly was at third and Greg Norton was playing first. This is true, he played 7 games and 58 Innings over there, he also avoided picking up a single error over that 7 game span. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) Konerko can play center. I hear he has great range out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFanInDallas Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 If Ozzie wins the All-star game, that is only 3 games in the situation.........It only took 4 games last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dixie Normus Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Defense wins championships. Hate to lose the bat for the first 5-6 innings but I would much rather have the infield intact than have monkey around with finding a place to play Thome. Interesting question is who bats third. Right now, I would put AJP there and let Dye stay at 5. Move every body else up one slot and Ps bat in the 9 hole, ofcourse. Pods Gooch AJP Konerko Dye Crede Uribe Anderson/Mac Pitcher Looking at it, maybe move Uribe up and Crede down one. Hmmm....
