Princess Dye Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 despite my postcount, believe i am depressed all day now would we be better with 1B Thome, DH Big Frank. OK - kill me . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 You should be upset, Mr. Dye. You tanked your contract year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 You mean 1B - Thome (35 games), DL - Thome (127 games), DH - Thomas. Right? The guy is not an everyday 1B anymore and Konerko is a better bet to produce consistently from 2006 on than Frank Thomas. The only difference between Paul Konerko and Frank Thomas' 2007 numbers right now is Thomas' 10 extra walks and 4 extra HBP. That's it. Same amount of HR, same batting average, same SLG.

That and Konerko is far more likely to rebound and be one of the better run producing players in the game (just like he usually is....not the upper echelon, but just a notch below it, imo).

OK - kill me . . . . As much as people bash Thome against LHP, and he is bad, Frank has been terrible against RHP. Even with all the lefties in the AL Central, a player will still have 2/3 of his at bats against RHP. Frank is just too much of a health risk and because this isn't fantasy baseball, we can't have a Thome/Frank platoon at DH (although it would be awesome. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'd prefer neither myself. I like Thome but I think a trade involving him can help set the franchise up for another long term run of success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just say the Sox were able to sign Thomas this past offeason, were currently platooning he and Thome at DH and they were putting up the exact same numbers against RHP/LHP as they are now. You'd have the deadliest platoon in baseball: 135 AB, 8 2B, 11 HR, 49 BB, 31 SO, .326/.500/.630/1.130 Un-f***ing-stoppable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are right chisoxfan. I like him, too. Hope the trade of Thome will bring some impact players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
