Contreras

8th wonder of the world. 7.2 innings, one run. Lead off hitter hit his second pitch nine miles into deep right center; RF had a great jump and caught it; next guy had a single up the middle. Then, he got the DBacks out. Brandon Allen hit a long homer in second inning.

Good for Jose. I love Jose.

Brandon Allen has 3 hrs already? Bad bad trade KW.

 

He is also hitting .217, a .294obp, 8rbis and has 19k in 46 at bats.

 

In about the same number of at-bats to start this year Josh Fields was hitting .286 with 1hr., 9 rbi, 14k and a .375obp.

 

So I guess you'd think the Gordan Beckham call-up was a bad idea then?

 

 

But go ahead cherry pick your stats to prove a point...

I saw him pitch.

 

I wrote something in my blog. Less than 50 % of his pitches this year were fastballs and that is not good for Jose! I wonder why Cooper did not address this issue with Jose. I remember once he came to CHiSox Cooper worked with him on this.

Cooper and the Sox have addressed this with him repeatedly.

 

But it didn't seem to make a difference, because when Jose got on the mound he simply did what he wanted. And for some reason, he just loves dropping down into his multiple sidearm slots... consequences be damned.

Greg, you can't set yourself up to get schooled like this.

 

Gotta bite your tongue on some of this s***.

The Allen trade only makes sense if PK is signed for another 4 or 5 years. It is dissapointing considering the return we have had from Pena. Contreras can still pitch he just wasn't for us for sure

Dayan Viciedo is the 1Bman of the future, not Konerko.

We'll be really lucky if he's ready for the big leagues in 2011, and Konerko's only signed through 2010.

 

he had a good, not great, year in AA this year, and he'll probably end next season in Charlotte. I think I'll be more surprised if he's not in the majors in 2011.
