I don't think Victorino would fit well into our future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 and somehow still had a chance to get right back in this game. I hope all the BA fanatics got a good look at him at the plate today when it counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 If the team needs a shakeup this year, I'd fire Walker before Ozzie. Fire Walker, hire Big Hurt as PH/hitting coach. He might spark the dugout. Then if we keep sucking, Oz would probably resign cause he'd be pissed Walker got the ax in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His swing is back to crap, he swings at every single 2 strike breaking ball, and he hasn't hit the ball out of the infield in god knows how long. Get rid of him, I'm over it.

No way is Thomas coming back with this team (other than to retire) while Kenny is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Anyway we can institute a new rule for the A.L.? All-time defense. BA plays CF the whole game, and we designate a real MLB hitter to play offense for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's proved this many times. He's a waste of a roster spot. I don't have any idea who could replace him, but he's still a waste (as is Wise).

greg775 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Five hits vs. Cleveland's s***ty starter and relievers TOTAL. Inept hitting performance again. Season going down the drain versus easy teams at home. It's JUNE. Time for some panic button move. Somebody's got to get the axe. Mr. Walker? Oz? Walker has to be the sacrificial lamb to wake this team up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 09:05 PM) We all loved it, as we should have. Looking back in FutureSox, seemed everyone wanted Smoak or another power corner guy. The immediate posts following Beckham being picked were "Meh", "Dammit!", "barf" and "Boo". Funny looking back.

That's the problem who do you replace him with, I'm sorry but if Scott Podsednik is your best defense option in center your going to have problems...

TylerAtIU Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 04:06 PM) I wish we moved Becks up in the order, so he can actually see more pitches and get opps to have guys in scoring position. how would you feel hitting behind Wise, BA, Getz and Nix. I like this idea... I actually wouldn't even mind him batting 3rd, Dye is not completely tearing it up right now and with Pods and Lexi probably being our two hottest hitters (also PK) it would give Beckham many more chances to drive in some runs and give him a real boost to his confidence(even though he needs none) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Nobody is getting fired and I doubt any changes are going to be made soon. We are 26-30 and still "in it" so unless we lose all 5 games to Detroit, I doubt anyone hits the panic button even though it needs to be done.
