    One guy throws mid-90's. The league has adjusted to him. He has to make an adjustment-- improve his secondary pitches etc. The other guy has no possibilities.
  2. a700hitter
    Agreed. It's time for Oki to go.
  3. a700hitter
    Not worth the internet bandwidth used by the story.

    As long as Theo agrees with me, I'm happy.:thumbsup: He made no excuses. I've always found that to be admirable.

    I'd make one change to the roster above. I'd replace Kalish with McDonald for the last OF spot. We need the extra RH bat, and Kalish should get regular ABs in the minors. So, in less than a day, and while doing my day job, I am one bullpen spot short of completing Theo's job for next season. If he screws up again next season, I can put in for early retirement and take his spot.

    Here's a short preliminary list of players that played for the Sox this season who I never again want to see in a Sox uni: Eric Patterson Kavin Cash Robert Coello Robert Manuel Daniel Nava (sorry Doji)

    Also, do we need a first baseman/DH type with a long term contract? That would leave no room for a prospects like Anderson/Rizzo to advance in the organization.

    Me too, and I have never been a Dotel fan.

    If the choice is between cutting him and giving him a roster spot, I'd cut him. He's been a flop deluxe. I think the Sox will decide to send him to the minors.

    Here's the Roster that I would like to see on opening day with one undecided spot: Catchers: VMart and Tek IF: Youk, Pedroia, Scutaro, Beltre, Lowrie DH: Ortiz OF: Drew, Ellsbury, Cameron, Werth/Crawford, Kalish Starters: Lester, Buchholz, Beckett, Lackey, Dice K Bullpen: Papelbon, Bard, Dubront, Downs, Feliciano, Atchinson, open spot

    At the end of the season, it was his shoulder that was the bigger problem.
  13. a700hitter
    It's possible that Lowrie could hit his way into a starting role, but that will not happen until after the season starts.
  14. a700hitter
    That's a negotiating posture. If he says that he wants to stay, he shows his hand and risks getting a low offer. I wouldn't put much stock in that. The real question is whether the White Sox want to go in another direction. If they do, I wouldn't be surprised if Konerko went across town to the Cubbies.

    Konerko will not leave Chicago.

    I think Salty needs to prove that he is worthy of a major league spot at AAA before he is handed a job. If he proves himself at Pawtuckett, VMart can mentor him in 2012. Salty is not ready, and we don't know if he'll ever be ready. They should keep Vmart and Tek behind the plate.
  20. a700hitter
    Ortiz has a higher Slugging percentage and OPS than Fielder. He'll have a much cheaper price tag than Fielder for a much shorter time commitment. The extra money could be used to sign VMart who could take a break from behind the plate to DH against the tougher lefties. VMart hits lefties much better than Fielder or Ortiz. On those days Tek, who still hits lefties pretty well, could man the plate.
  21. a700hitter
    That could be. If that's the case, I'm not looking forward to Salty being the backup. I don't see that working out well.
  22. a700hitter
    As I said, I just wanted to vent. I don't want anyone fired, except the Third Base coach Bogar. A stern talking to for Theo would be in order though if for no other reason than the fact Schoenweiss was on the 2010 team. I mean WTF was he thinking, That guys stinks.
  23. a700hitter
    You are very funny. Send around a petition to get rid of the incompetent third base coach while you are at it. I am tired of his shenanigans. Also, change the petition about Theo. Don't petition to have him fired. Petition to have him given a stern warning. I think you are being too harsh on him
  24. a700hitter
    ...and this proves that a good bullpen is irrelevant to winning? or what does it prove?
