southsideirish71 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 07:51 PM) Or move up in the box and take away the change-up? My sig from Blackburn says it all. These guys, outside of Kong and maybe AJ, think that hitting is about a glorified home run competition. I remember a few years back listening to the twins radio broadcast and they were talking about how our pre game hitting is just a glorified home run comp. Our guys just go for homers instead of getting there work in. They said we were the only team they saw all year doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzk Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Last time Buerhle has given up over 3 runs was April 22. Truly impressive season so far for him. In fact the whole staff has been impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet people still argue that another perspective/point of view if Walker is canned wouldn't be a positive thing.

caulfield12 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) 4 outs away from Soria. Maybe that's what we need to wake us up, since we've sleepwalked through this entire game. But what are the odds of beating him twice in one season? BTW, how the hell does Travis Hafner have a 972 OPS? Make that 979, another hit.

The Ginger Kid Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 someone please tell me how long we're going to have to wait until lineup/roster changes are made? are they seriously going to wait until the off season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 We've had this s***ty offensive approach for five years now (second-half 2006 through first-half 2011), and while the players have certainly come and gone, the one constant has been Greg f***ing Walker. Give him his damn walking papers already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there will really only be offensive change for next year and that's Viciedo for Pierre. You'll see the same s*** next year, too, don't worry.

caulfield12 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) He's going to be a hell of a player Hafner's been hurt, Sizemore's nothing like the player he was before the injuries and Choo's out for 6-8 weeks. You'd have to say the White Sox have been amazingly fortunate to be in the position we're currently in...at least until we face our own division.

Real solid in every facet of the game except speed though relative to catchers, he is probably average. Top quality I would say is no glaring weakness.

Where would he play? I doubt they'd move Ramirez to 2B. And taking on another huge salary hit, no way? Remember, Juan Pierre is now back in "good graces" compared to Dunn and Rios.
