Ex-Sox hitters in 2006
With the recent ass whoopings we've taken from Frank and Maggs, I decided to give a greater look to just how good some of the ex-White Sox guys are doing this season. This just goes to show how strong we should have been in the 2001-2004 range when we couldn't past Twins teams with Doug Mientkiewicz, Cristian Guzman and Luis Rivas playing. On the flip side, very few of our ex-pitchers are worth a damn now. They really weren't worth much when they played for us either.
C: Miguel Olivo, FLA, 263/287/439 (only 8 walks in 400+ PA, but still a decent season with the power)
DH: Frank Thomas, OAK 281/391/568 (14 homers from 500 and a guaranteed new White Sox cap in the HOF!)
1B/DH: Greg Norton, TB, 296/364/500 (don't ask me how this happened)
2B: Ray Durham, SF, 296/364/540 (the best OPS for any 2B in baseball, even Utley and Cano. A career year at age 34.)
2B: Jose Valentin, NYM, 276/334/506 (also rated as the best defensive 2B in the NL. A monsterous upgrade for them over Kaz Matsui and he's getting paid less than $1M. An unheralded brilliant move that gives them a much better shot at winning the whole thing.)
IF: Tony Graffanino, KC/MIL, 280/352/416 (solid as always)
OF: Carlos Lee, MIL/TEX, 301/363/538 (hitting .332 with Texas)
OF: Kenny Lofton, LAD, 302/363/399 (still a good leadoff hitter, still a lousy defender)
OF: Magglio Ordonez, DET, 296/343/476 (been brutal since Ozzie put him on the A-S team.)
OF: Aaron Rowand, PHI, 262/321/425 (very similar to last year.)

Yeah.
Valentin, Graffanino and Norton are mediocrities having good years.
Ray Durham's paid a bunch by SF.
CLee's doing what he does. Soon to be overpaid.
Magglio's overpaid.
Big Frank is the only one I really miss. Well, and the healthy Magglio.
