greg775 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Can't we acquire somebody, anybody with major league experience to play third instead of Josh? It's time for him to play some more minor league ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time for him to play some more minor league ball. Really? Cause I'm pretty sure he has proven just about everything he can prove down in the minors. If he can't cut it, at this point, in the majors, he's definitely a bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Acquiring a leadoff capable 3B would solve this team two problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, there's guys you could easily get away with leading off who happen to play 3b...but you'd rather have them hitting like 2nd or 3rd. Michael Young, Chipper Jones, Ryan Zimmerman. And maybe guys you could stick there in a pinch. Andy LaRoche has a .357 OBP while at 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Josh Fields has played 1, count it, 1 FULL Major League Baseball season, 164 total games in his career to be EXACT. /thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Those two middle inning AB swings by Josh last night were as hard as he has hit balls all year, especially the double off of the RC field wall. Hopefully the RBI single on Sunday loosened him up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Double off the rc field wall. What a concept. Hit it where it is pitched. Maybe some of these guys will start to do that. When I watch other games, I see a lot of opposite field blasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watch other games, I see a lot of opposite field blasts. opposite field hits may mean his timing is off swinging a little late or he needs to cut down on his swing. Many right hand power hitters power alley is to right center. If he's striking out too much not hitting the ball for power and averages sound more like we need to get rid of Greg Walker. With his firing I think at least we, the fans could at least feel as if Sox management is at least trying to make the team better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Greg Walker's fault Josh Fields strikes out. Why wouldn't it be Don Cooper's fault Mike MacDougal couldn't throw a strike? Maybe they should fire him to show fans they care.

Hopefully the RBI single on Sunday loosened him up a bit. His first hit was the hardest hit ball he hit for a while. He was looking fastball, got it, and actually hit it. That second hit though, that's a pitch Fields has always handled. Speier really sucks, he has nothing. I don't remember him being so bad in Toronto.

Or is the poster 10 years old, which is possible. Josh Fields needs a lot more multi-hit games to prove he's a big leaguer but I wouldn't blame Walker. At least the Walker stuff is Baseball Cliche 101. The Royals are not hitting right now and after every anemic performance the talk shows are lighting up about getting rid of Kevin Seitzer as hitting coach. Earlier this year, they were clamoring for Dave Duncan's head in St. Louis, so much the columnist wrote the fans need to shut up, that Duncan is a Hall of Famer. And since that Cub series, the Cardinal staff has been great, temporarily shutting up the fans. Who are Cub fans blaming for their eight losses in a row? It's a cliche you gotta blame either the skipper or one of the coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember him being so bad in Toronto. With all due respect, so what? He hit a ball really hard. In Chicago it would have been a homer. You have to start somewhere, and to have Fields squaring up and hitting the ball hard is a good thing for him and team, which is the most important thing. I know you have a thing against Fields, but the team really has no REAL substitute for him until Dayan Viciedo is ready, which could be next year. I don't want to hear Beckham, because the team themselves have said he isn't ready, nor Nix, because he is hitting worse than Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
