elgonzo4sox Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 QUOTE (elgonzo4sox @ Sep 29, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) Morel is our first honest-to-goodness true third baseman since Crede. A good glove at 3B can prevent 1 to 3 hits per game, so I say make him our 2011 third baseman and let his bat develop. I'm sipping my victory whiskey to celebrate tonight's win over the beantowners, so my mind is starting to imagine things, but here's what I'm thinking: an infield of Morel - Alexi - Beckham - Konerko could potentially be our best defensive (and a pretty decent offensive) infield since Crede - Uribe - Iguchi - Konerko in 2005. You know the old adage: "Good pitching is mostly just good defense". Our pitching in 2005 was fantastic, especially in the playoffs, but all you have to do is watch the last two outs of Game 4 of the 2005 World Series to realize where a lot of the credit for that good pitching belongs. Look at how our season turned around this year when Omar took over for Teahen at third. I am starting to get really excited about a potential Morel - Alexi -Beckham - Konerko infield in 2011.

knightni Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 They need to re-fit the corner outfield with youth that get on base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, they need to replace Carlos Quentin with the 2008 Carlos Quentin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
