Balta1701 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) Just look at all the Red Sox and Yankees who make it on reputation year after year. Can you name any who made it with an ERA of 4.5+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) As far as Jenks, I don't apologize for listing him as somebody who could or should make it. He's been one of the better closers in baseball and sometimes they take guys on reputation and he's had a great season so far. Just look at all the Red Sox and Yankees who make it on reputation year after year. If you guys want to continue to devalue White Sox players, go ahead. Jenks ranks right up there with the elite closers. He has for years. Seriously?!? I don't even know what else to say besides that because that comment is so laughable. Anyways, Rios, Danks and Konerko should all be in the conversation but ultimately I believe it should just be Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) The starters were too s***ty for too long a period for any of them to make it. What do the other starters have to do with Danks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Greg gets the last laugh no matter what. Serious or not. Which he is. I don't know why you guys let it get to you anymore. I mean it's the same thing day in day out. It's not changing anytime soon. Sometimes i truly believe i am the only one that understands this.

greg775 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 You guys act like Jenks is some hack who blows a significant portion of his saves. He's been reliable for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sin city sox fan Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Although I don't think his chances are as good as Rios, Paulie, or Jenks.....if Freddy can get 2 more wins before the All Star game, he's a maybe as well. Tough not to take a pitcher with double digits wins at the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Responding to greg775 posts is something nobody should do anymore. He's not even serious, he's just trying to get a rise out of people, and is succesful in doing so. Ignore him and he'll go away. As for the ALl Star Game, Rios is in and Konerko is a coin flip in my opinion. Nobody else should even be mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody else should even be mentioned. Konerko's problem is that there are 3 1b with OPS higher than him. Morneau, Youkilis, and Miguel Cabrera. He has the 2nd most home runs and RBI from that position behind Cabrera, so he's legitimately in the running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to get a rise out of anybody. I think supporting Jenks and Ozzie may be unpopular, but my arguments for them are at least reasonable. I remember supporting Paulie heavily a couple years ago as well and that wasn't popular at the time and it seems to me everybody's back loving Paulie again. I mean I can discuss other topics besides Oz and Jenks if you like. Start a new thread. Edited June 23, 2010 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it really won't. In fact, with how vulnerable he has been to little injuries this year, I'd prefer he not make the team and get 3 days of R&R. I think the only 3 players that a case can be made for are Rios, Konerko, and Danks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
