Buehrle>Wood Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) Indeed. The question would be, do we trade Thornton or Jenks? Those two guys could bring in a s*** ton of talent. Can't trade Thorton IMO. I'm weary of trading Jenks but if we could get two great prospects for him, it'd be worth it. It would have to be quite the haul though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 03:05 PM) It is amazing how many people really think the Sox would have a .350 team batting average and score 12 runs a game if they had a different hitting coach. They need to look at the players. That's on KW. Agreed 100% Unfortunately many hitting / pitching coaches lose their jobs, due to the failures of the general manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't want a hitting coach who thinks all it takes is one batting practice session to cure all that ails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thome was on the pre game yesterday saying that Walker had the team in batting practive focusing on line drives up the middle and the opposite way. We maybe working on it in practice, but when the game starts, it's a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not do the little things, and have no idea how to go the opposite way. I was driving yesterday and listened to Rongey they had some guys on during BP, they were working on going the other way. They work on it, but when it comes to game time it doesn't seem to happen. Isn't there the slightest possibility it is personnel-related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Me: I doubt it. I believe this is the first time the sox will see Huff. If they are gonna be just like recent memory and past indicate, then I don't like their chances. I'll hold up a bit of optimism though. Pretty obvious. Game isn't over yet, but still.

So what's the point of having him around? The point being there isn't the personnel there to do the job. It would be like firing Cooper because MacDougal and Whisler can't throw strikes. They work on things, it doesn't mean they are truely capable of doing them in a real game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
