He should be our leadoff guy.

If Ozzie had him leadoff for tomorrow's game I wouldn't b**** one bit. Atleast you know your best hitter is getting the most ABs in the game as opposed to your worst.

I love him more. I don't see you in Game Threads giving up to the second Jim Thome stat updates.

 

.342/.561/.974/1.535 btw

Those numbers are just silly. No one is even close for OBP and OPS. Also, for him, more BBs than Ks is amazing.

Speaking of things I've never seen

 

For the 3 game series with Texas, Thome was 3 for 4 with 3 home runs, 3 RBI's, 5 runs scored, and 9 walks....so he reached based in 12 of his 13 plate apperances, that is astounding.

Holy crap, those are some ridiculous stats! Wow.............

Is there a reason why he hasn't been nominated for Sainthood? He's basically the greatest guy to ever play professional athletics and now he's a 36 year old farmboy who is still one of the most feared hitters in the game. Jim Thome has succeeded at everything he's set out to do it seems and it's a damn shame that more people don't know what kind of person he is.

He's like Chuck Norris, only better. Way better. Way, way better.

Not to bring down everyone's buzz, but he is getting these freakish number of walks right now because opposing pitchers know that Konerko can't hurt them. He has no protection and is getting the bat taken out of his hand.

 

 

thats gonna bite some team in the ass.

Twice last night, the Rangers walked Thome to load the bases. Konerko did nothing to punish them. Two inning ending K's. Its happened like that alot so far this year.
