ThunderBolt Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I'm incredibly excited for this season to begin. I know this could end in tears, but we're going to compete this year, and i can't ask for much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyDo Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Per InsideTheSox twitter, opening day lineup will be as follows: 1. Pierre - LF 2. Beckham - 2B 3. Quentin - RF 4. Konerko - 1B 5. Kotsay - DH 6. Rios - CF 7. Pierzynski - C 8. Teahen - 3B 9. Ramirez - SS See, Kotsay's not batting 3rd. Why don't you step back from that ledge, my friend.

No offense, Scotty, but why not wait till a month into the season till we tell people not to jump to conclusions based on quotes from the mouth of the manager?

I think if Ozzie was gonna ride Kotsay's hot hand and put him in the 3-hole, he'd do it right out of his blistering spring training. Maybe I'm wrong.

Princess Dye Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) Wrestlers had a serious problem working with Ultimate Warrior in the ring. He was a roided freak who didnt pay any dues and was given fame right away. Then he'd get in the ring and do holds all wrong. A time or two he dropped people on their heads b/c he was doing the gorilla press wrong. Led to serious----real---injuries Edited April 4, 2010 by Princess Dye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nobody hitting behind him that is any better for the position than Kotsay. If anything it says something about the bottom of our lineup.

Mark did a decent job for us at the end of last year in a limited amount of at bats. That doesn't come close to overshadowing the fact he's been a bad player for most of the last 5 years. Like Jones, if Kotsay is used correctly, he can be an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong. Yeah...at this point, if he winds up in the 3 hole and the right guy is there to start the season...hopefully that means he's earned it. If he's hitting .330 in 2 weeks, I won't be that mad if he moves to the 3 hole, I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's hitting .330 in 2 weeks, I won't be that mad if he moves to the 3 hole, I promise. I´m not gonna stop hoping for a power lefty come the trade deadline. I just wonder how long Kotsay can perform during a long season. Edited April 4, 2010 by chisoxfan09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been extremely loud about it for the better part of a month I said i didn't want Kotsay hitting high in the order, never said i wasn't a hypocrite. Seriously though, i agree that we've been having some pretty spirited debate on both sides. I just don't think it's time to rule anything out that Ozzie's over the last month, just becasue the first lineup of the year is not as crazy as we'd all thought it'd be.

Maybe its just me, but I found it ironic and humorous that you ask him to wait to tell people not to jump to conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
