daa84 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 chris getz is going to score alot of runs this year if he is at the top of the order all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) The real question should be if Lillibridge should start in AA or AAA. He was overmatched in AAA last season. He's never really proven he can hit AA pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nice hit by Thome, followed by just awful base running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) A lot to overcome....potentially the worst defensive team (replacing CLE) in the division, the worst baserunning (certainly the slowest) and then the complete lack of fundamentals. At least Getz has been a bright light so far, and hopefully Konerko can follow-up his hot start and approach of focusing on hitting the ball up the middle and to the right side into a good April/May start. Isn't he due for a nice season, it's an odd year? Don't tell me Thome got thrown out too trying to stretch his hit into a double? That looks a lot like the last few seasons, 3 hits and one run in an inning. Edited March 26, 2009 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 For some reason, I thought he was like Bret Saberhagen and always did well every other year...at any rate, Konerko is definitely due for one last solid .280-30-100 season in his career with a .375 OBP and .525 SLG at least.

Along with leading the Cactus League in errors, we must have at least 15 (probably more) "mental errors" on the basepaths this spring, and we can't blame the minor leaguers for most of them (not to mention the horrible success rate on steals). Being aggressive is one thing...but the White Sox have run themselves out of countless innings this spring. Hopefully it won't carry over into the regular season. At least Marquez is starting some sort of streak of giving up runs every appearance...I think his days are now numbered as well, just like Poreda (despite him being KW's "prize catch" of the off-season, along with Viciedo and Flowers).

fathom Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Marquez's best pitch so far looks like his change-up. His "sinker" is underwhelming. He'll make good #3 starter this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saberhagen never had a bad year in his career... Farnsworth would best fit your description of bad to good from 2000 until 2006... even though his 2006 he was slightly above average. Actually farnsworth had a couple atrocious years in that span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only if you choose to acknowledge his -12 OPS+ since 2004. His 37% CS% led me to believe that he can throw a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The book on Marquez is for lefties to take him up the middle or oppo. He needs a pitch to counteract that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when you go 13 for 142 over a 5 year span. It's not out of the realm of possibility that he doesn't get a hit this season.
