Texsox Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I think you can guess the qualifier for this team. Of course it is mostly based on speculation. But how about trotting out this line up? You would need a really big weight room as much as these guys work out. C Ivan Rodriguez 1B Mark McGwire 2B Bret Boone SS ?? 3B Ken Camineti LF Barry Bonds CF Sammy Sosa RF Jose Canseco DH Rafael Palmeira I need a SS. Of course Clemens will be on the mound for the first day. And perhaps I would have Billy Botch as closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 LOL, I'd have to have Bonds leading off. I couldn't even imagine any semblance of a batting order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Palmeiro won a gold glove at 1b and you've got him @ DH and McGwire @ 1b? Gagne closes and that shouldn't even be close. Could really use a CF upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Edmonds for CF. Alex Rodriguez for Shortstop? Just speculation, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just tossing out a name, I prefer Gagne if he "qualifies". Gagne is as qualified as anybody. He was an undrafted nobody in the Dodgers system, suddenly and randomly gained 7 MPH on his fastball and a biting slider, missed almost two full seasons (2005 and 2006) to injury after three dominant seasons, and now has not been able to get people out since he came back despite only being 31 and now 32 years old.

We have a closer. If the team stays healthy, do we have a WS team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 We have a team that would light up the regular season and lose in the first round of the playoffs when Roger Clemens begs out of a game and everyone else gets caught up swinging for the fences and the rest of the pitching staff blows it.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) Also, we have two setup men currently in our own division for this team. Juan Rincon of the Twins and Rafael Betancourt of the Indians have both tested positive for PED's.

Gagne actually was drafted...by the White Sox. Didn't sign, and then he signed with the Dodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirdog Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Brady Anderson should be on the team and start in CF in place of Sosa. The team has enough sluggers and we need a legit lead off man that will give you 30+ stolen bases and one 50 hr season (and then 40 or so homers total for the rest of his years playing).

watchtower41 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Magglio and Sheff would be outstanding bench players on this team. I will also go ahead and nominate Javy Lopez for back-up catcher and Boomer Wells to fill the 5th spot in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him injecting himself with a liquefied jelly donut, but not steroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
