[BigSoxHurt35]

Ya, I don't know. Something is up.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

So Danks comes back tomorrow? Hope he does well. I've always like John Danks.

 

[DewsSox79]

is gillaspie luck or hahn knowing a little bit more than some other GMs?

Why does Keppinger suck so much? Not even close to his career average or his averages in recent years.

hes been better last 11 games. is obp has been putrid

 

[Capt. Serious]

Phegley tearing up AAA. Get his ass up.

Sox have gotten zero production from the catcher position.

True. And yeah, I don't think he knows what a walk is.

I was pretty happy going into the season knowing that a .280 hitter would be at 3rd instead of Morel or whoever else. (obviously he's playing 2B now) But Kepp hasn't lived up to expectations. I think once Beckham is ready they'll split time there depending on who hits better

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Kep is the second guy we got in the past few years that we sign and he's not even close to his career avg

Which makes me wonder why. Is it the coaching? The ballpark? Or just god hates the White Sox?

 

[Capt. Serious]

Wouldn't mind if the Sox would ship De Aza's ass outta town.

God awful lead-off hitter. (when you look at his BB:K ratio)

Sophomore slump.

Or that Kepp is exactly who I said he is, a non full timer who hits into way, way, way too many DP's.

If you get rid of De Aza, there are quite a few that need to leave before him (Dunn, Kepp, Flowers)

No. Who will play DH? Dunn is frustrating but the lineup will look even worse without him there at some point. No depth.

i wonder the same everyday, than i wonder about guys like gillaspie and it makes me even more confused.

 

[Capt. Serious]

This team is an utter joke.

Shitty offense/defense.
Getting beat by losers like Borbon, Navarro, Valbuena, Travis Wood.

I think it's just luck. Both bad luck with some players and good luck with others.

 

[brett05]

And that's going to look stellar on Peavy's trade market giving up a tater to Travis Wood. Shoot me know please.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

I think a big reason the White Sox are so consistently mediocre is that they're afraid to even use the word rebuild.

So they will continue to be mediocre unless they build up talent in the minor leagues.
