Jim Spencer Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 06:31 PM) He's probably feeling sorry for himself, and you can't blame him, but he's going about getting a major league gig all wrong. I agree. He struggled last year too when he was sent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeynach Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 06:31 PM) Fields isn't long for the White Sox organization, but he won't be waived. He's probably feeling sorry for himself, and you can't blame him, but he's going about getting a major league gig all wrong. Teams will wonder why a guy who has performed like he has the last 2 seasons thinks he should be handed a starting job on the major league level. He'll hang around as fodder for some team for a while, but probably won't have much of a career. Hes done with us...below average fielder, below average hitter (cant cover the fastball). He just like Joe Borchard he played his way out of the organization with poor performance and a lack of improvement over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 12:32 AM) I remember when people were penciling him into our starting lineup with thirty homeruns. Guilty. See my predictions in my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I might very well be the only guy on the planet with a road grey #22 Josh Fields jersey. Edited August 12, 2009 by Greg Hibbard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) If you face him anywhere but USCF, you have a chance. Hitters hit better at home and pitchers seem to pitch better at home...maybe that is what home field advantage means but I don't know.

Wanne Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 As much as most are down on Fields...at this point it really doesn't make any sense to just jettison him when our roster is going to be turned around the next year or two and infusing youth. Letting him stay down there a while and get his game back and go from there wouldn't hurt anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Josh is up to .302/.380/.556 so I guess this thread was every bit as premature as it seemed when it was started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
