I wouldn't be surprised to see him batting horriblly come June/July with little pop and high strikeouts. Rumors of appendix issues, too. GENIUS.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Wow, going through some of this thread there were more than just a few people who either didn't like the signing or weren't crazy about it. I remember pure jubilation. And lol at the Kotsay or Dunn post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie. Everyone is like D Lee this D Lee that, what's D Lee doing these days? It wasn't unreasonable to want DLee at all, and many of those who wanted him (including myself) were worried over the number of years that Paulie would demand and his cost since at the time we didn't know the Sox would be going that high in payroll. Of course, I also stated that signing DLee was contingent on a great physical on his part. Don't forget, Konerko had to be swayed to stay, DLee at the time was a very reasonable answer without knowing budget and the actual health of the players.

I think a lot of people were turning on Paulie because they "didn't think he could match" last year's performance. Paulie is our best hitter period.

Paulie is our best hitter period. I wasn't turning on him. But history did suggest a regression was in order. And it'll probably come at some point, be it next year or the year after that. But as for this year? Yeah, Paulie owns the regression police. And it's a shame that such a great year is being wasted because of guys like Dunn, Rios, Pierre and Beckham. If those 4 were producing at an even league-average rate, we'd probably be in first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The genius part in green and the whole appendix thing, I think I made it pretty clear that it was a joke. I really hope people didn't believe I was serious.

elrockinMT Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I never turned against PK and I didn't like the Edwin Jackson trade, but I did like the signing of Dunn. All I know is the moves are what they area and hopefully these guys perform that way we hoped they would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Clayton Kershaw has 2 hits vs LHP's this year. Dunn has 1. Tim Hudson has a HR vs a LHP this year. Dunn has 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 This thread reminds me about how happy I, and most, once were when we signed Dunn. And then we re-signed PK and we were all thinking World Series. This team still has potential. Just gotta piece it together slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie is our best hitter period. I wanted PK back, but I honestly didn't think he was going to match last year's performance, either. Considering that was the best statistical year of his career, and he'd never done anything like that over the life of his last contract.

caulfield12 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The Rangers and White Sox (some will also argue the Twins, but their underperformance has as much to do with injuries) are the two main enigmas in the AL. Like usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
