Sox Suck at 3B

[SaberSox]

From BR, interesting but telling info:

The Chicago White Sox are arguably the hottest MLB team entering June 5. They have won 14 of their past 16 contests in large part because of a recent run-scoring binge.

It's amazing that they've gone on this tear despite getting zero offense from third basemen.

Brent Morel, Orlando Hudson and a couple others have combined for a futile .448 OPS from the hot corner. None of them have contributed a home run, and their strikeout rate (63 Ks in 188 AB) is disgusting.

Despite this gaping hole in the lineup, the White Sox have averaged almost seven runs per game since May 17.

Just imagine what this team and offense would be like with a third basemen that could actually hit the ball.

If we have Joe Crede of 2005 on this team, we probably would have a good shot at contending for the World Series.

And I know, we can't have him. I'm just a huge fan of his. Good glove, power, and can hit for average. What's not to like?

I think you mean 2006 Joe Crede, when he won the Silver Slugger. But yeah, I loved that guy.

Well yeah. 2004-2006 Crede basically.

Why? He heavily contributed to the shittiness at 3B.
