Kalapse Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) Have I mentioned before this team is boring (btw, this usually starts a Sox rally)? It's really one of the big reasons why I want this team to pick up another bat: this team just isn't very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Sadly, even if the Sox acquired someone, Jones would be DFA'd. The organization wants him around to hit #400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) Jones is at least 1 for his last 20, if not worse. Couldn't Ozzie have just waited a few days to play him against Kazmir? Edited July 4, 2010 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is we just don't have enough roster spots with this weak of a lineup to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 The organization wants him around to hit #400. That's got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Nobody is going to buy tickets to watch Jones hit some meaningless milestone. Jones sucks. They need to just realize the mistake of their ways and dump him. It's a miracle this team has the record it does. This offense blows and has blown all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 08:47 PM) I'd say Viciedo would be. Ideally, you put Omar at 2B, Dayan at 3B, and bench Gordon Caruso. Problem is, you're still stuck with Kotsay as the DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 If Danks can't throw 110-120 pitches through 7 innings regularly, we're going to lose a lot of games Ozzie needs to let him go deeper into games, otherwise he's going to continually burn up our bullpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I like Dayan a lot but if he continues to swing at everything he's destined to make a ton of outs in his career.

fathom Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 How in the hell can we not hit this pitcher? Also, I don't think it's possible for Viciedo to hit an inside fastball with authority. Once again, another Sox prospect with a huge hole in his swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Seriously why would any team give us a cheap single? Teams should play as shallow as they do when pitchers hit in the NL except for CQ and Paulie. It is a crime to let a White sox bloop a hit into left or center. I'd play shallow shallow shallow against the punchless Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
