if Morel, Beckham, Rios and Dunn are all batting sub-.200 at the All Star break, then I'll join the Fire Ozzie crew 4/25/2011 10:38:38 PM |

I'm glad Humber is finding some success. Sucks that he had TJ a year in to his career but he seems to be serviceable now.
Morel and Beckham will improve given their age, but it's not like Gordon has some long track record that he should align with. Guy OPS+'d 86 last year, not even close to league average. And Morel is a rook who has a ~.830 minor league OPS and never really played above his expected age level.
Rios/Dunn will be fine...

Beckham started off horrible last year but posted above average numbers post-All star. He's got some sort of mental problem, though. Morel can hit the other way very successfully but I'd still take Gordon's power over him. His glove is a little questionable, too.
Rios ...
Dunn will turn it around. 4/25/2011 10:55:19 PM |

Ridiculous that you're 10.5 games out on May 4th. I don't think Kenny would fire Ozzie mid-season, but who knows. He's one the best GM's in the game and not intimidated by Guillen in the least. 5/4/2011 1:29:51 AM |

WAR is a pretty limited stat when we're not even 1/4th through the season... that is, unless, you think Juan Pierre is truly going to make 20+ errors this season in left. What else did you read on the ESPN blogs?

nice that Q and paulie can take 9 straight pitches in the top of the 9th down 1 b/c the other team knows rios won't do shit with two men on.
if only we had been able to pick up a big bat in the offseason, say an adam dunn type, then this wouldn't be an issue.

Quote : | "27. Chicago White Sox
Five days later and it's still hard to figure what the White Sox were doing when they dealt Edwin Jackson and Mark Teahen for Jason Frasor and Zach Stewart. Yes, Stewart has some mild upside as a back-end starter or reliever, and Frasor bolstered Chicago's pen. But did the deal really just boil down to Kenny Williams wanting to shed $7 million of Mark Teahen as a way to reclaim some of the dead money being paid to Adam Dunn and Alex Rios? It was widely reported by the time of the trade that the Cardinals were interested in Jackson, and that Jackson and Matt Thornton could have potentially landed Colby Rasmus. Were the Pale Hose seriously not interested in adding a potential star center fielder to their underachieving lineup?
You have to feel for Williams a bit: Two games under .500 and four games out of first, the Sox faced a tricky decision on whether to buy or sell. They kind of did neither. Or both. And they didn't help themselves at all." |
