Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 12:17 AM) I bet deep down Rollins was glad to get released. Had to be the worst experience of his baseball career I'd think playing with this woe-begone team. This has to be one of the worst hitting team in Sox history. It's like the 60s when the mound was lower. lol. omg, dude. stop. Jimmy Rollins was/is monkey turd. He simply can't play the game of baseball anymore.

It's like the 60s when the mound was lower. The fact that Rollins was still playing at age 37, with tens of millions in the bank and a WS ring on his finger, strongly implies that he really enjoys playing baseball. I seriously doubt that he wanted to be released. Edited June 13, 2016 by Black_Jack29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe Rollins really likes playing professional baseball and doesn't freak out like you do when his team goes from first place to .500 ball 1/3 of the way into the season. Get a grip.

Get a grip. The Sox have lost something like 9 series in a row. The team has lost some of the most bizarre ways in club history. The team has not hit, has not pitched in the five week stretch. It is not a stretch to conjecture Rollins has to be glad to be out of Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Chicago White Sox @whitesox 20m20 minutes ago The #WhiteSox have requested waivers on SS Jimmy Rollins for the purpose of granting his unconditional release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollins has 2 small children so having to find a new team after only 2 months in Chicago could be very disruptive to a young family. You may think it is a like video game but there are family issues involved in many of these changes. Hopefully it works out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Having seen Anderson for a few days now, his swing and his approach really remind me of Alfonso Soriano. Really long arm action and coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Man his line drives are smoked though. You can see how much pressure he puts on a defense. Their reads need to be right on because he can easily turn a single into a double with one bobble or misplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I know he hasn't been up with the Sox long, but it is so refreshing to see a position player brought up through the system and do well. The Sox have seemingly done the right thing with him. Drafted three years ago, worked his way up through the minors, and now getting a chance with the club. He's been a spark for the team, and the combination of him leading off with Eaton batting second is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
