SouthsideDon48 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm shocked at the people that would prefer Lillibridge over Hudson. Whaaaaaat? Hudson's a veteran who was once a very good 2nd baseman. Lilli never, and will never, amount to anything. I'd rather have Hudson's veteran experience over Lillibridge's underwhelmingness, anyway.

WORTHLESS. s*** happens. He's in a horrible slump. Somebody said it before, but please bring back Lilly just so we can see a sequel to that kid who was crying when Sox dealt him.

Steve9347 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Shouldn't this be in Diamond Club? Lillubridge is f***ing awful; why would anyone want to waste a roster spot on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 He's lucky to have qualified for his pension, if he did.... Believe he needs 4 yrs service time; close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I really dont care about Lilli to be honest with you. last year was a pretty extreme outlier if you look at his career in a white sox uniform. He plays pretty good defense, but the guy is a .200 hitter that strikes out a lot. Personally I dont really want Lilli or Hudson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Time for Lillian to appear again quoting Dan Johnson's AAA statistical line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Lillibridge will find a job somewhere. A utility guy who can play both infield and outfield is valuable because he potentially frees up a roster spot for a team. That may be his greatest asset... Providing roster flexibility.

Luckily for LD, I heard his kid is a pretty good ballplayer? As for Hudson, I am pleasantly surprised with how he has handled his benching...not that he could argue, but he doesn't seem to be pouting. Probably happy just to have a spot on the roster of a winning team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 09:02 AM) As for Hudson, I am pleasantly surprised with how he has handled his benching...not that he could argue, but he doesn't seem to be pouting. Probably happy just to have a spot on the roster of a winning team. He's very professional about his change in roles, but hopefully he won't be on the team much longer. We really need a right-handed bat off the bench, preferably one that can play some CF. Reed Johnson would be the perfect acquisition for the role. He'd basically be in the lineup anytime De Aza or Dunn needed a rest, with Viciedo moving to the DH spot on Dunn's off-days. That would leave Danks as the primary backup for Rios & Viciedo and Escobar for 3B, SS, and 2B. There wouldn't be a reason to keep Hudson around at that point.

The outfielders don't miss enough games to justify using up two bench spots on just outfielders. I'd rather have Lillibridge, who can play 7 positions and is a faster runner than Johnson. If you can get Johnson cheaply and want to have him take Danks' spot, I could be on board with that, but I don't like having only one option to cover all the infield positions.

greg775 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 What's the update on Lilly? Did he get DFA'd? I'd think we'd pick him up. He's not a bad bench guy in a White Sox uniform. Long swing, though. Must revamp his offensive game again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
