BearSox Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 QUOTE (earthshiner @ Jul 3, 2008 -> 12:01 AM) if he comes back and the sox start losing then you have to bench and go back to what was working. Pauly has a history of sucking and I see no reason why he should just waltz back into the starting spot. He's had one really sucky season (03) and one very mediocre season (07). Now, you tell me how those 2 years mean more then the other 8(?) he has spent with the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaseballNick Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 We are a much stronger team defensively and much less prone to the rally killing double play with Paulie not out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I hate to say it--it is Paul-ee after all--but I'm fine with him gone. I think Swish is FAR superior at first base, and Anderson, bad average or not, is making some pretty unbelievable catches in CF--just last night in fact. Problem is, as I discussed at length with my baseball nut co-worker, we're in a bind. There's nothing to do here. -Nobody wants that contract with his batting average and now his injury, and his age -He has right of refusal and if somebody like Baltimore would take a chance on him, there's no way he'd go to Baltimore -You can't bench him with that salary -You can't make him the DH; where does that put Thome (a whole other problem)? -Putting him back in puts Swish back in center and either Anderson or Nice will have to go I don't think it's any coincidence that this team is looking really "2005" right now with him out. I love Paulie for 2005, but he never struck me as a "quiet leader"--more like a drain on the team when he's not hitting well. I certainly don't wish any harm to Paulie or want him to be seriously hurt but yes, I think he does more harm than good coming back at this point. We get enough homers without him.

SoxFan1 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'd deal him + BA for the best CF we can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 PK needs to stop swinging like a pussy. He's up there trying so hard to just hit it to right field. We're not paying him for one single a game. Hit the ball with some freaking authority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Im fed up with him, nuff said. He clogs up the basepaths, is in a constant slump and I prefer Swish at 1st. thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 BTW, the best possibility for a trade, even though it would never happen, is to Arizona.

Leonard Zelig Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 If the Sox got rid of every player this board has wanted to get rid of, I think we would still have AJ, Alexei, Quentin, and Jenks and that is about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
