BigSqwert Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ May 26, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) If Anderson continues to struggle and Fields makes the adjustment to playing in left in Charlotte, we'll see Fields in left and Pods in center before the year is out. No chance we see Pods in CF this year barring some injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I guarantee you that we wouldn't make the playoffs. That defense would be embarrassingly bad. If Anderson and Mackowiak can't get it done, KW needs to make a move.

fathom Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 For everyone clamoring for Sweeney or Fields to come up.....why in the world would you think that we're going to call up a prospect and they're going to contribute offensively? I wouldn't say our organization is known for developing their prospects into major league-ready hitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that Fields comes up to the majors and rakes the ball or hits at all. We have had a lot of people hit in the bandbox of Charlotte and look like studs, only to come up and completely look like turds. Jeremy Reed tore up Charlotte. Brian Anderson hit 300 down there.

My main problem with it is the time it would take for him to readjust. Now that he's had plenty of reps in left he reads the ball off the bat fairly well. I don't see him having a problem with center. Except he would take bad routes for too many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 At some point either Cliff needs to prove he can get hitters out again. Or he needs to figure out a new career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox It To Em Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Our bullpen is abysmal. Shame on Kenny for expecting more unbelievably good years from Hermanson and Politte.

Sox fans know what's going on. The funny thing is when a crappy pitcher toes the rubber at the cell, they show his 2005 stats and his 2005 stats only on the jumbotron. Cliff Politte was good last year, this year he uhhh, well last year he helped us. Shingo was good for us one year, then we ditched him. We ditched Koch after he blew. Lets not hold on to garbage for sentimental reasons ie: Mike Jackson pitching in a meaningful games in a playoff race because he needs to get some silly record.
