SoxAce Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Damn I didn't realize how much power Nick Franklin had either. If its true Hahn wanted him, then that sucks to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So-so fielder he's going to be a decent player at the next level but not much more than that especially since he had to be moved off ss. Upside is dan uggla.

Didn't practice re touching 2nd base enough in spring training, so Avi misses it , has to go back and it out. Robin is the ringmaster of the White Sox circus. Andy Wilkins is getting closr to logging his first career game with at least one plate appearance and no strikeouts.

caulfield12 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) You can probably blame the tigers...for avi's fundamentals. You can blame the sox for lack of accountability if u want though. Detroit did pick up j.d. Martinez and rajai Davis for practically nothing so you can't be too dumb when u win a division four consecutive years. I personally hope the a's royals or mariners ruin someone's party in the playoffs. Except all three of those teams are holding on for dear life on their individual roller coaster rides. Possessing offenses other than cano are ugly bordering on putrid. Meanwhile Carlos Sanchez is down in the mid 500s ops-wise as predicted.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 So it appears that the Tampa Bay Rays are the only team that gave Konerko a momento without pretty much being forced to. The other teams were CLE, MIN, KC (AL Central teams), and the NYY (Payback for Jeter gift). And you'd assume the Tigers will do the same for Paulie next week. I was kind of thinking the Red Sox or Angels may be one of those teams, because of 2005 and all, but I guess not. Or maybe even the Dodgers because that's who gave him the first chance in baseball.

caulfield12 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Viciedos at least having better ab's the times I have watched....just no results. Teams are so much more careful with abreu now that Dunn is gone. Maybe that's my imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Viciedo just over .230. Could finish in the .220s, not good; Tyler close to falling back into the .230s as well. Edited September 21, 2014 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
