BearSox Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) Do you actually trust Ozzie to use Kotsay properly though? Also, as I discussed yesterday, with Fields being sent down, what righties would Kotsay even PH for? True, Ozzie horribly mis-uses the bench. As for players he'd pinch hit for, I can only think of Wise and Nix when they start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSOX45 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 09:12 PM) Yes, please bring back the fire Greg Walker threads. He's been getting a break since the Sox haven't hit like s*** for about a month. But now it's back! It's been like this for the past 3 seasons. I've never seen a full team trying to pull every pitch. It's so simple it's ridiculous. Look at how good of a hitter Aj was in Minnesota, what did he do? He went opposite field on a regular basis. Konerko in his prime? Opposite field power. This team has no approach at the plate, it's lift and pull, and it's the same old story. Enough already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 09:18 PM) People need to get over the Brandon Allen manlove. It's not a love of Allen, it's a disdain for Pena and the lack of return on a solid prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never was an opposite field guy and his hitting coach in his prime.............Greg Walker. These are the same tired arguments that are totally false.
