southsideirish71 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 08:18 PM) One of the worst at-bats I've ever seen from Konerko. It's really starting to set in how bad this team is. 85 mph fastball, a curve that you can negate by not swinging at it, and a change he bounces in. Not exactly the second coming of Cy Young. But against this team, anyone is Cy Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 What is the purposed of Alex Cintron playing with a bad arm. I know we are short on backups, but good lord he is horrible right now. Kicking the ball, throwing like he is a 14 year old girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope...we have more pitching depth in the minors than offense, yet we don't draft a single offensive player? The first 3 pitchers we took were fine....the last two were horrible picks.

I like the fact we picked up pitchers. We will get plenty of infielders back when we trade Buerhle in about a month. The only thing I would of liked was Porcell.

We have no other back-up SS. We'll keep trotting him out there, but then make excuses for him that he's hurt. Hell, even last week, they took an MRI to make sure there wasn't any other damage they weren't aware of. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:27 AM) I like the fact we picked up pitchers.

I do agree with you there. After all the trades Kenny made in the off-season to acquire the young arms, I thought we'd draft some offense.

We passed the best HS pitcher in the draft because we are cheap (but hey, everybody else is so it's ok I guess according to this board) and we also ignored position players when that is a FAR FAR bigger need than pitching for us. Nobody knows who will be good and who won't, but we ignored all needs and passed on one of few guys everybody seems to agree on in Porcello.

Of course, this is the same crap every year. As I mentioned in another thread who is going to play the field. I suspect we do not like to pay our scouts. We drafted just a ton of pitchers. this whole thing is coming apart in every aspect of the organization. Its amazing at how fast its happening. KW will make a move very soon even though he claims he won't trade just to trade. he will in fact do that to shake things up. This is a nighmare.

whitesoxfan101 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Fields is looking like every other prospect we call up. I hope this doesn't last, I have a feeling he will be in our lineup most of the balance of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the team we have on the field tonight, combined with who's in our bullpen. What a disgrace. This team won't even finish .500. The lack of depth in our system is killing us with all these injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
