CWSGuy406 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Honestly, I don't care if Sweeney hits .220 this season, I'd love to see the Sox just say 'f*** it' and keep him up here the whole season. Despite the fact that Sweeney has never dominated a level, the Sox have always pushed him. Why not keep him up here for the whole season? He's going to be part of the future outfield eventually, let him get his lumps this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid has a more disciplined bat right now than the team. You just wait until Walk gets his hands on him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple; People are always going to think of Brian Anderson in 2006 when you suggest this idea Nice Grind out Giants designated 1B Lance Niekro for assignment. The Giants had no need for Niekro this year, and is was a surprise that he was carried out of spring training. He was 3-for-17 with no RBI through the first month. Unless maybe the White Sox think he could help out for a couple of weeks, it's doubtful that he'll be claimed on waivers. No thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW forfeited any title chances in 2007 more during last offseason than moving Sweeney into that spot would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(fathom @ May 4, 2007 -> 10:08 PM) I hope we don't look back at the 2005 offseason in 5 years and think it caused the downfall of the organization. I fear that as well. The Vazquez trade, as much as I condoned it at the time, may come back to haunt us. Anderson hasn't been able to cut it at the major league level and the Sox have no other CF option from within the organization. The other mistake we made was signing Jose to a 3-year extention. Everyone knew it was bad signing at the time. Nobody knows how old Jose really is except him and his family. When the Jose signed the deal his supposed age was 34. When his contract runs out, his supposed age will be 39. We all are pretty sure that he is older than that. In 2009 we could be paying $10 million for a pitcher who is possibly on the wrong side of 45. The contract could be immovable next year, as Jose looks as if his stuff is declining, and he is becoming very hittable.

dagotony06 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Bottom line is KW didn't put this team in a position to suceed this year. He didn't do anything at the trade deadline last year to help that team and didn't realize over the offseason that this team got old in the 2nd half of last year. He put his confidence in 2 players that had been injured in Thome and the ever fragile Pods, and offensively didn't add anything to this team. So the blame falls on him. He is the one who should be held accountable for this teams lack of offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Walker's Last Support Falls . While I think firing a coach in mid season is the ultimate panic move, I'd give Walker through the weekend and if they don't show some signs of improvement, I guess we just got desperate.

southsideirish71 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Considering that the Angels are pretty good teams year in and year out. How is it that they draft such good players and just have a minor league system filled with talent. I thought if you draft down in the order you cant have a good minors system. I wonder how many football players they have drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
