If they did, that's also part of the same problem. Aging sluggers don't age well because their bodies can't cope. Torii Hunter is not even close to a good example of a similar player, and if Torii Hunter doesn't play a game this season, it wouldn't have the same effect on the Tigers as Konerko not having an MVP season would have on our roster. |

I guess we're screwed then, because 2010, maayybee 2006, was the only season Konerko came close to an MVP caliber season.

Pretty much. It isn't overly negative to understand how important that kind of a season from Konerko would be to our roster. We don't really have anyone else capable.

Absolutely, strikeouts are the single worst thing in the world, definitely explains why 2 teams that made the playoffs had more K than the Sox, and the three teams that K'd the fewest times in the AL last year were the bottom feeders of the division.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but given that Dunn and Flowers (as far as we know) don't offer much of anything other than some pop (which, as we've seen, is far from a sure thing), them striking out 400 times is a bit of an issue.

No you're right, strikeouts don't matter. When we have runners at second and third with one out I don't want to see guys shorten up their swing like Konkero does. I want them to hit an 800 foot home run. In fact, that's all I want to see from guys. Situation be damned! SWING HARD BABY! SWING HARD! **** your .180 batting average in high leverage situations or a .204 average with runners in scoring position, HOME RUNS! AMIRITE?!

Strikeouts aren't a big deal if you're still productive. In some instances, they are the better option (instead of going up there just trying to poke the ball in play, which can lead to a double play). Sure, they're also the worst option in some cases, but really how bad a strikeout is versus any other out is at least situation specific. |
