G&T Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:45 PM) Paulie looks confused at the plate. He's more concerned about the ump than hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:42 PM) Yes they will. It's actually not so insane to think that Swisher being lower in the order could be a better RBI guy than Konerko this year. His power stats last year in non-hitters park. The necessity of having Quentin and Swisher both play, and the need to get more speed on the team. The idea would only be worth exploring more, however, if there was actually a proven leadoff hitter in the equation instead of the unknown Owens.

Kalapse Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It just seems like Konerko isn't seeing the ball all that well up there. He's taking pitches on the corner and looking perplexed when they're called strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcpweiner Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Swisher has done nothing this year to suggest he isn't a "proven" leadoff hitter. Unless Kenny can somehow get Roberts, moving Swisher even if Owens comes back seems like a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swisher's offensive value takes a huge hit when you move him in from the outfield. You can usually find guys who can put up Swisher-type numbers and play 1B/DH, it's rare however that you find a centerfielder who can do what he can at the plate.

almagest Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm not upset with 6 IP+ 3 ER from Vazquez. I also like that we have Blackburn over 90 pitches through 5 innings, even though we haven't broken through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good point, but lets not forget Swisher's 2006 where he had 35 HR, again factoring in Oakland's park. with .372 OBP I just wonder if anyone would be willing to sit Konerko some if we had a proven speedy leadoff hitter. And could move Swisher to 1B. But it'll all be in theory until we have an extended slump from Paulie. Last year was down but he still drew a lot of walks.
