pdxbears:Just when you think we're out of the woods batting-wise another case of "Which End Of The Bat Do I Use, Again?" begins and the "Fire Greg Walker" cries go up again. With Konerko's hand (and some kind of chest injury now?) and Thome looking like crap (he looks completely outmatched a LOT these days) it's time to start making changes before this thing gets out of control. Get some nuts Ozzie and bench those two. Bring up Fields or let Anderson DH. Trotting out those .200 averages time after time is getting way old.
agree 100%!...oh and send anderson packin,
No way! He's finally showing some batting strength and defensely he's a huge plus in center except Ozzie has something against him. I'd rather dump Thome.
Well, at least Konerko will be getting some time off via his DL stint and we'll be seeing some other players in the lineup. Hopefully when PK comes back, he'll pick up the slack.
As for Fields, it's sad to see him rotting down in the mirros. Would be nice to see him brought up, but I don't think benching Thome or whoever isn't a realistic scenario. I mean, he DID smack a useless 3-run homer against the Buckos yesterday...notice how he couldn't come through earlier when the game was still knotted up (or losing, can't remember) and he had bases juiced? It's like there's a switch in his head: "Oh, we're up by 5+ runs, NOW I can jack it."
And Anderson, yeah, I'd like to see him continuing to get PT. I'm still in love with the man's D, and that alone would give him a chance to play for my squad.
