sox-r-us Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Just found out that Swisher's road OPS's (On base + slugging) for the last two years are .889 and .850, exceeding Konerko's career number of .849. That is pretty good given he will no longer be playing in Oak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 If I'm reading his splits against LHP correctly, this is an excellent move by KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME JICO Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 How about: .921 OPS vs LHP in 2007 1.022 OPS @ The Cell (Career) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW definitely is trying to address the issue of our brutal record against LHPs with this move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoxfan Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Just curious, but Oakland's farm system has to be pretty stacked... Who are their top 5 or so prospects? They have Gio, DLS, Cunningham and Chris Carter correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one who finds it very odd that the White Sox drafting, development, and minor league system absolutely sucks and KW should be fired, while Billy Beane is a God amongst GM's, and yet Beane has spent his offseason collecting guys we drafted?

They got a bunch of guys from Arizona, including both of the guys Arizona picked up from us in the last 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW definitely is trying to address the issue of our brutal record against LHPs with this move. Dontrelle Willis ain't going to be happy about this move then. Although it would be quite ironic if Santana was dealt to either the Yanks or Red Sox considering our pitiful record against him, and considering we're trying to improve against LHP.

There's still Liriano...followed by Captain Cheeseburger, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
