watchtower41 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Unreal. Gameday shows every single of the 7 pitches that Crede got at the knees. Scouts must be licking their chops when he comes up to the plate. Joe Joe is more inconsistent than this entire team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Joe's definitely struggling. Makes it worse that he keeps ending innings with God jr. on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokimar Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) Is he on pace to reach his option requirement? Its going to be close.. could go either way. Also, doesnt he have a buyout that the Phillies pay a large portion of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Joe K's. I wonder if any of our hitters ever think that the opposing pitcher will throw a change up on a 2 strike count especillay on a 3-2 count? And they always do and our players seem to always K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankensteiner Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 This team is painful to watch hit. Unless they're already up by 5 or 6 runs. Then it's time to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) If Thome reaches a certain amount of PA, his option automatically kicks in. Jim has made a ton of money over his career, but I don't see him walking away from 14 million. Anyone got the number? No, I don't know the number, but Jim Thome is a heckuva of a player and brings a great presence. If he returns to the Sox it won't be at the slary he is making now. Or at least that's my guess.

Im pretty sure there is a 3 million buyout that Phillies pay like 1.7 million but I dont think he will reach plate appearences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 10:53 AM) In case anyone cares, the Dodgers lineup: 1. Pierre LF 2. Kemp CF 3. Martin 3b 4. Loney 1b 5. LaRoche 2b 6. Young RF 7. Berorra SS 8. Ardoin C 9. Kershaw P Martin @ 3b is interesting. I looked it up, and apparently he's started 6 games at 3b this year. I thought he was only used as an emergency 3b. Martin has been trying to convince the Dodgers to let him play shortstop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim has made a ton of money over his career, but I don't see him walking away from 14 million. Anyone got the number? Per mlbtraderumors, Thome may only need 564 AB's, not 664. He can probably get to 564. Thome's '09 Option By Tim Dierkes [June 26 at 8:11am CST] Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times discusses Jim Thome's '09 option. Cowley says Thome needs 392 more plate appearances this year for the $13MM salary to vest. The White Sox can choose a $3MM buyout if it does not vest. However, both Cot's Baseball Contracts and the Chicago Tribune indicate that Thome's '09 option vests if he tallies 564 PAs this year. He already has 274, so he needs 292 more. He should be able to pull it off if he starts 75 more games. The White Sox have 85 games left. Today's game is the last in an NL park, so Thome can go back to DHing regularly. This option will go right down to the wire. Thome may be back regardless, according to the Tribune in February. The White Sox have been getting a half price deal on his contract; the Phillies paid them $22MM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
