BigSqwert Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) The interesting thing if you read between the lines, is that Thome pretty much admits he wouldn't have been nearly as motivated if the Sox did bring him back. That's actually a pretty good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 11:58 AM) Reading the Thome article in today's Sun Times makes me wonder how both Kenny and Ozzie are back next year. What specific part of that article makes you wonder that?? I agree about it being a bad decision, and Kotsay sucks, blah blah blah, but that article just talks about Thome suddenly caring more about playing when he signed with the Twins. Looking at it that way, you can't expect KW to never ever let a FA walk in fears that he is gonna get a chip on his shoulder when he plays the Sox.

The part of the article that reminded me that we got rid of a great clubhouse guy who's also a formidable left handed power bat and not having anything in place to make up for that production. And to hear his new teammates vocalize what a poor decision it was for the Sox just made me even more annoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being reminded that they decided Kotsay >>> Thome is a good enough reason for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
