A Fortnight to Decide The Season's Future

PrintChicago White Sox at Cleveland Indians, Jun 29, 2009 6:05 PM CDT
Outside of when the schedule is first introduced, my interest in the White Sox future opponents consists of only the questions 'Who's next?' and 'Who are they playing in the games I have tickets for?' But thanks to a comment I don't have th time to search for right now (it's 5:20), it's been brought to my attention that the Sox schedule between now and the All-Star break consists entirely of non-Tiger AL Central opponents and could be considered quite favorable.
The Sox sit at 1-game under .500, 3 games below their high-water mark of 2-over (way back in April at 7-5) and 5-back of the division-leading TIgers. With 6 games against the Indians, who have already begun to sell off valuable parts and have perhaps the worst non-Nationals pen in baseball, and 4 more against the Royals, who have gone 14-31 since their high-water mark at 18-11, it would seem that the All-Star break would/should serve as a somewhat arbitrary deadline for deciding the Sox immediate future.
I still think they should probably Hold rather than Buy or Sell.

Curious
I will be the first to admit that I totally dismiss the hold scenario too often (I’m a greedy bastard and want my trade to happen sooner than later to enjoy some fruits).
At what point or what standings results paired with timetable would you have to see to move to buy camp? Cheat or anyone in a similar situation?

To "buy" what?
A real CF maybe? A Peavy for now and the future? I guess I’d agree with those, but maybe I’m crazy… I think this team can win the division.

No, just pointing out the fact that boston's seinfeld reference was a heady play
and no one commented on it, thus, making it an underrated gem.
Formerly Crede's Crew
The question for me is where to buy?
CF would be the obvious choice, but who and at what price?
Which I suppose brings us to the elephant in the equation that is Carlos Quentin. If the Sox are healthy and have a resurgent Pods in CF, they might be in a position to take the division. They’re still far from a team you would bet on in the playoffs, but getting there is the goal, and they might be in position to get there without even thinking about mortgaging the future.

agreed, if we trade for a centerfielder he better be a leadoff hitter...
if not, then we are a better team with pods playing center, granted Q! returns to normal.

Yup
At this point I will believe it when I see it, Supposedly he’s starting a rehab assignment soon but who knows.
At this point I just want him to recover, no sense in risking further injury

cowley said, around 5pm,
that Q may as well be in a wheelchair. then he went on to say maybe he’ll be back after the all-star break. don’t know what to expect. chance of re-injury/worsening the injury a possibility.
brian anderson would've caught that...
Cowley? Who couldn't be bothered to cover the team against the Cubs?

Wheelchair
I’m not expecting miracles…but does this look like a wheelchair to you?
From Gonzo’s blog:
Carlos Quentin took early batting practice and wrapped up his session by hitting several deep drives to right field. Quentin headed to the right field line to run a series of 90-foot sprints at about three-quarters speed and is currently performing more agility drills under the supervision of conditioning director Allen Thomas.
I said 2-3 months, if he rehabbed properly
and I’ll stand by that. Biggest concern is that he said he rippedthe tendon – not good.

he's not a reporter either, but he plays one in the newspaper.
although, his report on the score just after 5 was actually pretty good. he was really ripping the cubs, rothschild in particular, for trying to pin the blame for the bradley/piniella leak on a sox employee, and at the same time praising ozzie for the way he handles things.

Cowley is usually mildly useful.
Lately he has been totally worthless on anything of substance on the Sox. I can’t believe they actually pay him.
"I'm just here to provide street cred and a rosy outlook"- translation - unemployed life coach
That's partly why I asked.
For me, I am looking for a “decent” versatile player that wouldn’t require any damage to the farm system. I am more interested in bringing up the production at “rested position for the day”. A Derosa lite. A Mark Reynolds type.
If Q comes back great, that helps depth. If the offense improves like I think, providing depth will be more important anyway.
Otherwise I go for a starting pitcher to replace Richard. I take a solid staff and turn it into great.
"I'm just here to provide street cred and a rosy outlook"- translation - unemployed life coach
but do you think a mark reynolds type wouldn't require any damage to the farm system?
a player like mark reynolds (young, still entering his prime, and probably under contract for a couple more years) is a player that the diamondbacks gm or any respectable gm should hold on to unless given a lot in return. i think it would take more than JD or Jenks

yeah, i made a similar devil's advocate point to him, but he's done his homework. and between the gov't incentives to buy and the absolute destruction of value in that area, it appears that even a modest bounce could be very profitable.

Que Bally to refute your "hold" call.
Though I agree with you. Even a .500ish record at the break wouldn’t cause me to buy or sell. The team SEEMS to be improving in most respects, including the defense. For example, despite his errors Che has also made spectacular plays at short. Beckham seems to improve daily, the starters and bullpen have been great with only rare meltdowns, hitting has improved. Even (most) of the games they’ve lost lately have been close.
“Do nothing” may be the perfect move for the second half.
(Though a Peavy-like deal would make me happy too.)

I also think the Sox should "Hold" too
With the their strong starting pitching and bullpen, the Sox will be in most of their games this year. I would hate to see the Sox ravage their farm system for a rent-a-player who would only be here for half a year. Its not like Detroit will run away with the division. Heck, if Detroit wouldn’t have gotten lucky in some of their ninth innings last week the Sox could have been only 3 games back.

Olivo just homered off of Blackburn. 3-0 Royals. Back-to-back on Blackburn.
Just [expletive] Fuck It.
and hochevar is one hitting the twinks
and mauer is 0-3 and his average is down to .388. embarrassing.

I hear ya...I decided against Baltimore or Boston
Both would involve a 4 hour bus ride on a smelly bus and in the case of boston, tickets would not come cheaply. Going to be seeing us here in NY though.

morneau homer in the 8th.

i like how beckham is producing near the bottom of the order where there is less pressure,
but is it reasonable for him to bat ahead of getz?
Always bet on black!
by onlysoxfaninboston on Jun 29, 2009 9:50 PM CDT reply actions
i'd say leave him where he is
at least when getz reaches he brings him home about 1/2 the time. he’s got 11 rbi’s in 22 games hitting mostly out of the 8/9 spots.
one last beckham question
for those watching is he making adjustments, e.g. turning on an inside fastball, at the plate?
Always bet on black!

sunday vs cubs
he pulled two balls just foul down third base line then hit one oppo to right.
I think hes legit.

he has a level swing
turning never really seemed to be a problem so much as a perception by those two scouts, likely due to his bat coil

51% of Sox fans think Pods is the most deserving player for an All-Star berth (per the post game show)
I can’t decide if that’s just a remarkable turnaround for Pods, or some sort of damning indictment of the team.

even though pods' performance may be more important for the sox.

He's starting with tonight's A's-Tigers game, then working his way backwards until he's covered them all up until now.

I like it when the hat-tipping goes the other way around
"It took me a little while to find it and gave them those couple of runs," Pavano said. "That was enough for Gavin. You’ve got to tip your hat sometimes to the opposing pitcher. He handled a tough lineup and made it look easy."
Is it still the fourth inning?
