i would love to see us get wood

 

 

Isn't the main complaint about him the same as Josh Fields?

 

Inability to hit quality, "plus" major league FB's or even anything 88-89+ on a consistent basis?

If we get a legit CF I'll show you some wood.

Why am I not surprised that this joke not only came, but came from you?

I've always thought his problems were similar to Fields in that he has a lot of talent and raw ability (reasons for success in high school, college, minors, etc.), but has bad fundamentals and slow bats (hence not being able to hit major league fastballs). Plus, both look very tense up there, like they aren't ready to hit.

Considering the topic was about Wood, this probably could have been worded better.

 

And yes, I realized that this would happen as well

At 42-40, the Sox have clearly made a run after being under .500 by several games. Now, they need to finish the half strong at home. Assuming the White Sox continue to stay close to Detroit, I don't think the Sox sell, especially considering that Contreras, Dotel, Thome and Dye (with the option) are off the books after the season which is much different than having to pay for another year.

 

I'm not sure I necessarily see the White Sox buying either though. Carlos Quentin coming back will hopefully be as good an offensive addition that can be made, and a healthy Contreras seems to have stabilized the backend of the starting rotation. Maybe he adds another bullpen arm to replace Gobble, but there doesn't seem to be any impact players available whom Williams can land.
