That is absolutely right. I have long thought that Santiago has great upside as a starter and that the Sox should give him that opportunity. When Danks comes back, I sure hope the Sox are open to having 4 lefties in the rotation because Santiago should keep starting. And Axelrod would make a decent long man in the bullpen.

That said, it's not like Konerko's been lighting the world on fire, either. .225/.279/.378 isn't exactly a bat you need to find room for no matter what.

Pitching is very important and the White Sox have assembled a good staff even though injuries have affected it so far. But they went into this season with a fragile offense and no back-up plan. Offensively the 40 man roster had a shaky starting 8 and very limited back-up options. Certainly Flowers was questionable and they back-ep him up w probably a worse offensive option. Since there are 3 outfield positions, the 4th outfielder is a vital roster spot---hence they chose Wise. Gillaspie has been a good option so far and probably is better than Beckham offensively. Then you go to the 40 man and guys like Greene, Tekotte, Wells are all questionable ML prospects.
they went into this season with very few roster spots where there was any competition for playing time. |

Same here except I remember Luke Appling playing at the end of his career.

We need a few professional hitters on this team, and it seems that only Rios qualifies at this point, and that's when he feels like it. What's worse is we're pretty much stuck with these guys, with Floyd out for the season +, Danks on rehab, Peavy nursing the back, Konerko's slump and Rios being our only relaible bat, who can we really deal for a good young hitter? Everyone would want Sale, and he's the guy we can least afford to deal. ![]() |

Viciedo played in AAA last night in Columbus. . . went 0-6 in the doubleheader with 2 K, made a 2-base error in game 2 that cost Charlotte the 1-0 lead.
Danks pitched game 1 and was OK. . .a bit wild, didn't get the decision. |

So if Viciedo hits better with the weather warming up, I would assume so will our opponents.

This and That:
Gonzo told me Santiago was in the clubhouse and just lost track of the game. Why someone on the bench didn't pick up on the fact that he wasn't in the dugout I have no idea. The Sox teams of the mid 60's were well schooled in the fundamentals. Both Lopez and Stanky demanded it. If you couldn't execute a bunt, move a runner over or didn't get a guy home from 3rd with less than two outs you didn't play, period. In fact Stanky would fine guys for not doing those things (and to be fair he'd reward guys with things like a new pair of shoes for stolen bases things like that) The Sox had the best pitching staffs in the league (maybe in baseball) from 63 through 67, and that was a large part of their success but they had to have some hitting. At least those guys got it done enough to average 92 wins a season in that time period. These guys? No ****ing way. Sox have now scored three runs or less in 52% of their games so far this year.

Yes they are. The DH did not exist in the 60's. This team is pathetic when it comes to hitting. At least there aren't any more threads about firing Walker.

For most clubs, a player with that slash line would be among the weaker hitters on the team. For this club, it's about the mean. Sad days.
