Kalapse Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) we must find the next young pitching phenom(s). Aaron Paledo (Coop's words, not mine) will be the next great lefty to dominate the American League. QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 08:58 PM) You forgot to mention that Thome is "unclutch" I heard he's an asshole off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he learns how to throw strikes, learn a few breaking pitches, and of course doesnt lose a few MPH on his overpowering fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 01:58 AM) Exactly because we have a bad record due to our pitching. If only they could hold the opposition to negative runs everynight we would have a chance. If there was ever a pitcher who could lose while allowing negative runs, it's Javy Vazquez!

hitlesswonder Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 08:58 PM) Isn't that what we did by drafting Poreda instead of Porcello? That's right -- the Sox looked at Poreda & saw a guy that can't strikeout college hitters even with his 96MPH heat (that's 96MPH in "White Sox MPH" which translates to 92MPH in the real world) and immediately project him as a left-handed Brandon Webb that pitches to contact and never allows a fly ball. Great scouting. Edited June 13, 2007 by hitlesswonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderman Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 08:52 PM) where did you get those #'s? again, all you guys do is criticize. thanks for sharing your great ideas/sarcasm. Hunter is easily better than any hitter on our squad. look at the #'s. northsidepolish17, don't get offended because you've been continually owned by the new poster. just deal with it, ace. Signing Hunter at $13+ might look ok for a season or two, but he's going to be in his mid-30's halfway through a contract like that. Not a good idea.

Not a good idea. He's already slow, declining defensively and has trouble cracking a .335 OBP. Sounds like the kind of guy you want to throw a s*** load of money at.
