GoRowand33 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I think that we have an amazing offense, but were using it the wrong way sure were winning, but I think with the lineup I propose below we could be even better 1. Scott Podsednik-LF 2.Tadohito Iguchi-2B 3.Jimi Thome-DH 4.Paul Konerko-1B 5.Juan Uribe-SS 6.Jermaine Dye-RF 7.Rob Mackowiak-CF 8.AJ Pierzynski-C 9.Joe Crede-3B I think our lineup is about 100% more balanced, and there is no death stretch at the bottom of the order that could kill any rallies I think we had something going last year with the bottom of the order, lets try it again, instead of batting in order of productiveness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Why would you want an automatic out batting 5th right behind your second best hitter? Also you have 3 straight righties and 2 straight lefties in there which is somehthing Ozzie would never stand for. Plus BA needs to be in there but that's just me.

Rafael Furcal and Jeff Kent figure to play as much as possible in a pennant race, while Izturis could become trade bait for a team like the Twins, who value defense at the position. Keep Izturis stashed only in deeper NL-only formats at this point. we dont want the twins acquiring him Edited June 1, 2006 by Melissa1334 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Our lineup is slumping right now. Over the last 7 days we are hitting .268 as a team. Gooch .150 Thome .238 Konerko .192 AJ .182 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The All-Star/GG thing really doesn't mean s***. Did you know that both Lance Carter and Mike Williams were All-Stars! Hell yeah 2.) he'll make $4.51M next year and has a $5.85M team option for '08, most contracts are back loaded, his follows suit. That is good money. 3.) He's comming off major elbow surgery, no one knows how he'll be when he comes back. He could be a totally different, horrible player. I'd rather not acquire another question mark. 4.) It's not a great idea to acquire an NL hitter for an AL team in midseason, some players are just NL guys and never really adjust to AL pitching. EX: Renteria. 5.) It would cost some serious talent to pick him up, something I really don't want to do is rape the farm even further plus I'm not sure what we'd even have to offer them.

GoRowand33 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 heres my reasoning for Uribe at #5 so many times have we had 2 on and none or 1 out and Uribe and Anderson come up and blow the rally I think if we scatter about or weaker hitters their averages will improve, and less rallies will be squandered QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 31, 2006 -> 09:01 PM) Feel free to write, Ozzie Guillen's email: [email protected] done no way I will get a response, but whats to lose?

Why in the world would I ever throw a pitch to Konerko if Taz is behind him. I would walk him on 4 pitches with the bases loaded, so I could throw 3 in the dirt to Taz for the K.

Buehrle>Wood Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 As good as AJP has been hitting this year, we are getting very little production from him hitting behind Thome/Kong/Dye. He could use a drop down in the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sees nothing at all. Each batter has an affect on the players around them. Thome is a force in the lineup, and therefore he gets walked a lot, and pitchers go after Konerko because a strong hitting Dye is behind him.

The Twins don't really matter at this point. They're a 4th place team and acquiring a player that won't really help the club just to block the Twins would be a huge mistake. Also, Renteria >>>>> Izturis, no way he's the best SS in the NL. I won't even mention Eckstein, Jimmy Rollins, Jose Reyes or Felipe Lopez.

You're nuts. The Sox would have the best lineup in the NL if they swithched over tonight.
