redandwhite Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 With the Braves flopping this week, there is a good chance Jones could be dealt. He'd look real good in a White Sox uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take my chances with Brian Anderson in CF and Brady backing him up, no need to acquire another $12M+ player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Would they make a White Sox uniform in Tony Gwynn size to fit Andruw Jones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitoMB345 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I would not do this deal, unless BA or Jones were going to be playing left. Our CF is fine, its the LF that is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very much so. There is room for one bad player. Especially a rookie. Stats from Uribe like he is putting up are just completely unacceptable. If we had a decent, hell, even someone like .265/.340/.450 at short, we'd be a lot better. BA has also more than made up for his lack of offense to start the year on defense.

Look around at all your 2005 World Series Champion swag... remember that if it wasn't for Juan Uribe, you mignt not have it. How quickly fans forget less than a year ago.

BA has also more than made up for his lack of offense to start the year on defense. Uribe's hit .316/.329/.624 the last 6 weeks as the Sox went in the crapper. Anderson's hit .284/.326/.432 over that span. Anderson and Uribe aren't the problem. It's completely naive to think that two of the best defenders at their respective positions should be replaced while they're hitting as they are. THEY'RE NOT THE PROBLEM! If anything, you should be calling for them to stop hitting. The Sox won more games that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LF is the biggest problem on the non-pitching side of the team right now. Obviously, starting pitching has been the biggest overall problem lately.

The staff ERA is almost a full run worse than last year. Even though the offense has improved by a similar amount, the recent string of bad games should be illustration enough why run prevention, of which defense plays a large part, is more important than run production.

Because he is way too streaky at the plate. He has no plate discipline. I believe he has around 10 walks ALL SEASON. He has a terrible OBP. Sure, he's got pretty good fielding skills, but sometimes I think he makes lazy throws and causes errors that REALLY should have been outs if he would have just took his time.
