iamshack Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Well, I know I am a bit more of a glass half full guy, but I like the composition of this offense. The problem isn't in the way the offense was built, but rather that it's two best hitters have been extremely underwhelming. I'm really not that surprised by Jones and Rios. Konerko's performance has been a bit surprising. But if Beckham and Q do 80% of what they are capable of, this offense will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Another patented Ramirez "vapor/brain lock." He sometimes makes Pods looks good out there with his decision-making processes and logic. Should have been 1st and 2nd, one out. Maybe it doesn't even matter with TMK batting...haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Patented pull hook down to right side of the infield. But at least Kotsay doesn't strike out. Oops, that's bad too, because he would be better striking out instead of grounding into DP's so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But neither Beckham or Quentin had any type of track record of consistent success coming into this season. Remember how many times we heard "If X players performs well, this offense will be fine"? Like many said back then, there were too many ifs and an extremely mediocre offense wasn't out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many said back then, there were too many ifs and an extremely mediocre offense wasn't out of the question. Well, while they might not have had the track records, they did have the pedigrees. You're right though...but the problem is, unless you're the Yankees or Red Sox or Cubs, you've got to count on guys like that performing well because there simply is not enough money to go around to acquire guys with track records at every position.
