Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) Without injuries, you'd put us above Seattle? Yes. We obviously don't have a Felix Hernandez. Besides that, I'd take our talent over theirs. Certainly doesn't mean we have a better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Has someone hitting under .200 ever hit 30+ homers in a major league season? Rob Deer? Dave Kingman? The funny thing is that if you look at Quentin's minor league stats and 2008, you would think he would be a consistent .270-.310 hitter for 15 years.

Deer hit...I believe (recalling from memory)... .191 one year with 30+ homers. I stand corrected, 210s and 220s when he was in the 25-30 HR area.

The Gooch Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) So you're willing to erase a career of mediocrity from Mr. Scotty, all in favor of what he has accomplished in 3 weeks, playing for a bad Kansas City team? Cool, sounds like a plan. If it meant I would have never gotten to watch Pierre in a White Sox uniform then hell yes. Its not so much that I like Pods, its that I hate Pierre. Scotty is overachieving like hell to start this season. I fully expect him to bat around .280 with a good amount of stolen bases and maybe even a few home runs.

Besides that, I'd take our talent over theirs. Certainly doesn't mean we have a better team. We also don't have Cliff Lee, Ichiro, a defensive/offensive threat that is equal to Franklin Gutierrez (Rios has been close, but look at Gutierrez's numbers AND his salary), Chone Figgins (sucky so far) or a defender that's close to as talented as Kotchmann (Kotsay is good, but not that good and not capable of regular play).

BTW, Milton Bradley and Javier Lopez can be solid offensive forces as well...when they're on and hitterish.

Hell, Jose Lopez might be better than Beckham this season, and Jack Wilson is a solid player. Their issue is Griffey Jr/Sweeney need to go.

GMAB, caulfield. Our rotation 2-5 destroys their 2-5 on paper. We have the better bullpen by a pretty good margin as well. Franklin is hitting a little over his head. I think what you saw from him last year is probably his max. No, we don't have an Ichiro. And there's no contest between the two teams defensively. But player for player, the Sox have more talent.
