southsideirish71 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 09:38 PM) Lindstrom looking a lot like Axe. 2-2. Is the radio feed giving you these facts or is it the Internet. One barely breaks 90 the other sits in the mid 90s. Sure Mark Buehrle looks a lot like Chris Sale as well.

elrockinMT Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 03:29 AM) His value is in the pen and he has to improve his command. He has big league stuff and probably doesn't have to be a loogy, but he's got strides to make if he's going to stick long-term and succeed. I would hope that Leesman replaces Veal as the LH relief man and we find someone else to replace Troncoso and even Lindstrom.

Thad Bosley Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I have what I feel might be an "irrational exuberance" about the future of Gordon Beckham in a White Sox uniform. But I'm really enjoying watching him perform both at the plate and with the glove these days. Hopefully he has finally turned the corner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Just give Viciedo the Rios-makeover and change his stance. He's the king of the foul ball to the right side. Beckham was similar to this when he had his old stance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 That was a bad at bat by Tank. Hope he learns how to hit the next 6 weeks and starts out strong next year. Can't somebody teach Tank how to hit?? If not Manto bring in somebody else to work with Tank on developing an approach up there that doesn't require him trying to hit everything 600 feet.

elrockinMT Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 What's your take on Viciedo? Here is a guy that looked like he had finally figured it out last year and this year is garbage at the plate in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
