NorthSideSox72 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) i have to believe macdougal just pitched his way off the team...not sure who they will bring up...broadway?? poreda? egbert? russell? I'd be OK with any of those other than Poreda, who I want to see focus on development. I'd also be OK with Wassermann or Link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) Somehow I doubt that. He's not only not coming through, he's having pathetic at bats. He is horrible up there. He walked 3 times in a row. He's hardly played. Even his big strikeout which apparently cost the White Sox the game really wasn't that horrendous of an AB. Gallaraga is tough on RH batters. BA hardly ever faces RHP. What do you expect is going to happen? Edited April 15, 2009 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) Never have I see a pitcher with such talent be so ineffective for so long as this guy. Its like listening to music by Rush - such great musical talent, such irritating results. Never ever rip Rush again. You should be suspended.

Anderson is a 4th OF who plays absolutely fantastic defense, hits lefties at a decent rate, and can't hit righties. There is nothing wrong with that, unless of course you don't have a starting CF to speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I have to believe there will be a new person in the bullpen when the Tampa series starts. Whether without Richard or MacDougal. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a hunch. id say theres almost 0 chance richard gets sent down...he hasnt been good, but he is what he is....a lefty reliever who hopefully can give a few innings.....he just desparately needs to work on PFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his career, he's split his AB's roughly 60/40 righties/lefties. It's not saying all that much given how bad his overall numbers are, but he's put up better batting averages and OPS against righties than lefties.

Actually 4 with 2 BB, and I'm sure all his AB against RHP is very scattered. Before he's hung, I think he needs a chance to play for a little while like all the other guys. He obviously has ability.

He obviously has a mandate from above to cut costs. But his talking up Lillibridge and Marquez and Nunez was just plain pompous. The only team that shred more payroll than the Sox this offseason was SD. I think the Sox are the odds on favorite to win the biggest payroll drop next year.

He did well just to get rid of Vazquez and Swisher quite frankly. The White Sox ticket sales are ahead of last year. They have found some more sponsors. They increased ticket and concession prices when other teams are holding the line or decreasing them. They have a ton coming off the books next year. If they didn't have the money to give Orlando Hudson a bigger guarantee than LA did, they have been operating deep in the red for a while, and we know that doesn't happen.

He did well just to get rid of Vazquez and Swisher quite frankly. He traded 2 legit major leaguers though and got no one that could realistically play CF or leadoff. He got one potential major league player in the trades, and that guy is Flowers. All I'm saying is that the lack of depth of major leaguers is very evident now after just 2 injuries.

I bet it will be lower than that. Between $60-70 million unless they lose 100 games this year and they have to sign someone significant to keep at least a few people paying $23 to park.
