Ross Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I love games in Toronto because you can hear the fans talking s***. I remember a couple years ago they were giving Omar a hard time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noonskadoodle Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 White Soxfirst baseman Paul Konerko hit in the cage and played catch Wednesday,and remains on track to come off the seven-day concussion disabled list Friday.

Omar: http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...amp;position=SS Ozzie: http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...amp;position=SS Smith and Vizquel had the same wOBA at .311. But Smith was considered 10% more productive (wRC+) because league offense was much less potent in his era. These guys played 10 years apart.
