WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I've mentioned this before, I would hate to see Beckham move to third. He should be playing short, second at the very least. I would love to see him at short and Alexei in center but I don't think that will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 watching JD's homerun again, i still stand firmly by my opinion that he has the prettiest right-handed power swing in baseball right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THis too shall pass! by the way, I cannot believe the Indians actually won this game, i think they were down 10-0 at one point. Yes, yes the were haha.

ptatc Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2009 -> 08:48 PM) Personally, Quentin should still be put on the DL. Agreed. If they were desperate enough to do cortisone shots and shockwave back to back the heel was really hurting. I don't know if it was the same thing or maybe compensating for the pain that caused the problem today but he obviously hasn't been running right for awhile. He should rest it.

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 25, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) How long does Fields have to suck before it can be determined he's not a championship quality 3rd baseman? Let him have at least 1 full, healthy season which up to this point he hasn't had. He was hurt in 2007 and still, it's hard to call his 2007 rookie season a disappointment. Let him prove he cannot adjust to MLB pitching. Let him prove he can't hit in the summer in the Cell. If the Sox tank this season, let him prove he can't hit all year. The only way I'd understand is if it's a contending season with super high expectations, but that is not the case this year. So far, we suck.

SoxFan1 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 25, 2009 -> 08:54 PM) Most players don't even get 150 MLB games to prove they suck. Maybe the Sox gave up on guys like Owens and Terrero too soon. Mike Caruso hit .300 as a rookie and then sucked. The Sox gave up on him. That was just stupid. Oooooooh, good examples!!!! Good thing we gave up on Crede, and Rowand, and Garland, who all came up and sucked too. I can play that game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand got benched in CF for Carl Everett in 2003. When Garland was 26 he was a world champion. Edited May 26, 2009 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 But why not send Fields down to AAA and let him get his confidence? His biggest problem is hitting 91 mph fastballs, and he'll see plenty of those in Charlotte. He has an option left, and he's doing himself and the team no favors by being with the big league squad.

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Fields has been a huge dissapointment so far, but if this team isn't going anywhere and you might as well give him a chance. Wilson Betemit and Jason Nix aren't long term answers, Viciedo isn't ready, and I don't want to see Beckham at third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you really rather have Betemit there? Anyway, I don't deal with Josh on a daily basis. Who knows exactly what's going through his head? I'd imagine he's working on it. He may well just need time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to feel stupid when we recall Lillibridge and his fly balls to right field actually make it out of the infield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
