Lerew Reminds White Sox: You're Still A Few Bats Short
by The Cheat on Jun 28, 2010 10:41 PM CDT
in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintFree from the pressure of trying to continue one of the hottest streaks in team history and no longer able to beat up on the lesser National League, the Royals were supposed to provide a soft cushion for the White Sox return to American League play. The Royals sent some guy named Anthony Lerew to the mound, which should have further softened the shock of going back to playing real baseball teams. But Lerew shut the Sox down, which shouldn't be a surprise, really, considering the offense was hardly the driving force of the hot streak.
I think the general reaction to the end of the streak was something like: That was a fun ride. We're right back in this thing. Time to get serious about the holes in this lineup. Of course, Ozzie sees things differently. Asked what changes/additions need to be made to his club on Sunday, Guillen replied:
"Nothing. When I talked to Kenny earlier in the Winter Meetings and earlier in White Sox fest, I always liked this ballclub. I don't know why, but I did. I like the ballclub sometimes, and I don't like the players. I like what we have. When we was bad I looked at the lineup, and I showed the beat writers the lineups. We don't need anything. I hope we just continue to play [well]."
Ozzie likes the club because it's a National League lineup; no designated hitter and about 7 bench bats (too many of which not only find their way into the lineup every game, but find themselves in the 1 & 2 spots.)
The streak was nice. It's certainly more fun to watch (and write about) winning baseball than the other option. But the Sox need to acknowledge what happened before the hot streak. There's a reason that winning 15 of 16 games doesn't put you in first place, and it doesn't really have to do with the competition. It's that the Sox were poor enough to almost -- almost -- play themselves right out of any chance over the season's first two months.
They were literally one loss away from me firing up my Blow It Up post. They're still the same team; Carlos Quentin has finally joined them, as well as Jake Peavy and Gavin Floyd. But they still don't have a DH, 3B or 2B they can count on and are still looking up at two teams -- two teams who aren't without flaws themselves, but two teams who are ahead of them, have been all year, and figure to try to make themselves better as the trade deadline approaches.
It's not time for back-patting over a nice comeback, both in the division race or the last two games which saw 9th inning go-ahead runs at the plate. It's time to get serious about actually contending in the American League Central, and that means we need some new blood in the lineup.

Why does this series
smell like a sweep to me? Maybe I am just overly familiar with the Sox.
I liked this gem:
Ozzie likes the club because it’s a National League lineup; no designated hitter and about 7 bench bats (too many of which not only find their way into the lineup every game, but find themselves in the 1 & 2 spots
When you’re getting absolutely no offensive production out of your DH and 2B positions, replacement level offense out of your 3B spot, and your pitching moves back to the AL where they have to pitch against competent DH’s, shit starts to hit the fan again. Yes, the NL run was great, but the problems still exist. Anyone who felt they could keep up the kind of pace they displayed the past 2 weeks is maddening. I joked that it could happen, and it may still will, but I wouldn’t bet $5 of my money on it in Vegas of them putting together anything close to the recent streak they just had again this season.
Yes, Cheat. Time for some new blood. Time to open up the wallet and blow up the farm system again. I was with you, too, before this streak happened. I suggested when the Sox were 6 under that 10 games under .500 would be the breaking point for Williams. I was for blowing it up when they were 9 back, but after this recent turn of incredible events, it’s a good thing I’m not a GM. Now it’s time to improve for 2010 and beyond.

Don't think you really need to blow up the farm system
Due to our DH being so bad, it’s not like it’d take much to improve by a lot.

We don't need a DH
We have one. Quentin. We need a RF, preferably a lefty (Kotsay/Andruw is not the solution), and a solid 2B.
Beckham gets sent down, Viciedo and Omar split 3B duties. That’s how it should go down. Doubt it will, though.

Williams needs to so not do what Ozzie wants
The winning streak was gift from the baseball gods, offering contention in return for some sacrifices from the farm system. Williams needs to deal and bring in players for DH and LF. I mean, please, how ridiculous will it be to fail because you couldn’t scrounge up a couple guys to post even .750 OPSs in LF and DH?
I could be wrong, but I think they could acquire a couple of mediocre bats without giving up Hudson (or maybe even Flowers). Would Baltimore deal Luke Scott for Viciedo and Torres? Please?
I think they'd do that, easy.
I don’t think it’ll take Viciedo though.

I just checked and Thome has a .927 OPS this season
You know…even with the decisions to have Pierre and Teahen on the team, if the Sox had simply picked Thome over Kotsay they’d be in first place today. Not by much, but still.
Agreed.
He flashed some speed today with a triple (luck) to go along with his HR. Sigh. Seeing this around the same time I saw Kotsay pop up to the infield with the bases juiced and 1 out made me want to throw feces at the screen.

You do know how oxymoronic that concept is.

agreed
Kotsaydh hasn’t been awful, but is still not a player who should be even sniffing the dh role. I sitll think Beckham’s swing is broken right now and might need to go down to the minors to fix it. Now that Chicago is back in the race, they can’t waste so many outs waiting for Beckham to fix himself. Still, who would replace him? Move Vizquel to 2nd, but now you have an even bigger hole at 3rd. They definitely need to make a move.
Adam Dunn?
Let the rumor mill start:
http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/2443158,CST-SPT-sox29.article
dunn for flowers would be my only option. Im sure they would want some shitty low level reliever.
I dont see Washington doing that, and anyone more leaving the sox system, would be a horrible move. You know the sox won’t re-sign dunn. Just his bat would help us possibly make the playoffs, but he wont get us to the W.S. I just do not see this happening, unless KW overpays. Dunn is the exact opposite of what oz and kw sought out at the start of the season.

from the start. Yes, it was a nice ride, but this team is short a DH, a 5, and a 4 that can hit. But I’m afraid nothing will change, so might as well sit down, relax and watch it unfold.

3B, DH, 2B
You forgot to add LF
They don’t have enough prospects to trade to fix all those holes. I guess you could trade for Dunn to fix the DH, but is it worth giving up a Hudson for a half season rental when the rest of the lineup is that flawed? I don’t know who else might be of interest to Washington.
Might as well stay with what you got and pray that the pitching keeps rolling and Beckham wakes up.
"But this streak goes to eleven"
kind of agree,
though getting Dunn would be very exciting, and would probably propel this team into the playoffs. The goal is not getting to the playoffs, it is winning the World Series. Is this team a World Series contender with the addition of Adam Dunn? In my opinion and most likely the majority opinion, absolutely not. So the rental of Adam Dunn for a few months would not be worth it.

I’m thrilled that they’re back in contention, and I’m happy with that. I don’t see any need to mortgage whatever meager future there is to make a push this season.
But on the other hand, the future is so meager that hey wtf why not go for it this year. SEE YA HUDSON! ADAM DUNN WOOHOO!!!!!!!

Dear Kenny:
Do not freaking listen to Ozzie. Continue to hate him and do things now to spite him. That means bringing a real bat since we actually do “play” in the American league. You can’t fix everything just start with 1. It gets easier after that.
Regards, Tdogg
Buerhle was maddening but still good to see a decent start.
I think Q really is back.
I HATE Pierre leading off for this team. I know, not a newsflash to anyone.
"Officially off strike...."
I think what bothers us so much TDogg
Is that we hated Pierre leading off before the season started. We hated not having a left handed bat in March. It’s just baffling that fans can see these glaring weaknesses and the manager of a major league baseball team doesn’t seem to think it’s a problem.
I guess that’s why Beckham struggling doesn’t bother me nearly as much as Kotsay or Pierre playing or not having Thome on the team. It’s one thing for the execution of a good plan to fail, but to go into a season with a bullshit plan, that everyone knows will fail is just unacceptable.
by Grinder in Training on Jun 29, 2010 8:48 AM CDT up reply actions
I get that.
But Beckham much like Q did before his turn around is “crushing the White Sox”. Folks have got to get over this mentality of its no bothering them as much. Beckham is the worst offensive regular in the AL right now. The off season is the past. Lets fix now.
"Officially off strike...."

I’d agree. It’s not like most teams carry more than two good second baseman though. And our backup second baseman is starting at third because Teahen got hurt. And I realize Teahen wasn’t great, but he was relatively mediocre compared to Beckham.
I’m sure if Teahen was healthy, Vizquel would be getting ABs at second instead of third.

He’s the worst. Anything is a freaking option right now. See you still have this 2009 Beckham image in your head. Let it go man. If he turns it around in the minors he can rejoin the team, sort of like a “mini” waiver trade. His wOBA for June is .251. Its not getting better.
"Officially off strike...."
Sure.. if you believe Ozzie will play DV
I have seen no proof of that. And even in this worst of seasons, Beckham’s OPS is still higher than Lillibridge’s OPS for his career. Our options suck until Teahen gets off the DL.

I don't understand the JP hate.
He’s not been amazing, and we’re not paying him to be amazing. He’s met, if not slightly exceeded expectations. We have much bigger problems than the leadoff spot, namely 3B, 2B and DH. If I’m making trades and getting better players, LF is the 4th spot in line I would tend to.
Thanks alot for these ridiculous ticket prices, 2005.

I hate that he's here.. not what he's done.
Although he has not exceeded or even come close to meeting expectations.
His OPS is .590, his career average is .713, his OBP is .314, his career avg. .346. He’s having the worst year of his career.
by Grinder in Training on Jun 29, 2010 9:08 AM CDT up reply actions
I'm not saying he's good,
I’m just saying he’s a little buried in the list of positions to be taken care of. And I guess as far as expectations go, I just got pretty excited watching him bunt in runs during that streak. Down back to earth I suppose.

DH, 3B, LF
I wouldn’t consider that buried on the list of problem positions at all. You can argue Beckham is a bigger disappointment at 2B (and maybe he is), but it’s not really a problem they’re going to address, at least I don’t think so. We have our 2B, he’s just not hitting. Pierre was a big problem coming in and everyone knew it.

If JP weren't on pace for a career year according to fielding metrics
He’d be DFA material. Even with almost 9 runs above average in the field, he’s been worth less than half a win. You do the math. If his fielding starts slipping and comes back to his career averages, we lose another win.

"....we have to find a way to win. And good teams do that."
Tomas Kopecky May 29, 2010
Total zone likes him this year also
If its just a “hot” streak, so be it. I don’t see any reason to bury our head in the sand though. He’s been really good out there this year. Does it make up for that bat? I guess not much huh?
"Officially off strike...."
The point is, he's been fielding above his career norms according to many metrics
and he’s still at what, 0.4 WAR? He’s on pace for roughly 1.0 WAR. That’s if he keeps up his fielding and his offense stays the same suckitude. I see his fielding regressing and his offense improving, likely giving a little more tug down on that 1.0 number. But we’re looking at the rest of the season. If you expect what I do, for his offense to improve and his fielding to regress a bit, we’re looking at a 0.4-0.5 WAR player the rest of the way. I’m confident someone out there is available to provide more than that.

Viciedo - Dunn
Could us not playing Viciedo be a situation like “hiding” Poreda in the pen or keeping Dexter Carter down in a lower level in the minors.
It seems to be the Sox way of keeping the value of their prospects high before a trade.
Otherwise, why the hell is here? It’s pointless, it’s not like Kotsay or Beckham are blocking him with outstanding play, and Vizquel is 43, I’m sure he could use a breather once in a while. There are plenty of ways to get the kid in the line up.

Then we trade Jenks and Viciedo to Houston for Berkman
LaRoche (only 26) becomes our 3B – Meek (only 25) is another outstanding arm
in the bullpen. Putz/Thornton take over closer job, while Meek takes over Putz role. Teahen moves to utility role where he belongs. Berkman and Paulie alternate 1B/DH. Andruw gets DFA.
nevermind the pirates trade 3 bad relievers somehow equal a good arm and an everyday(kinda) player

KW has to see that thing isn’t sufficient. Doesn’t he?
Maybe he’s just counting on Teahen coming back healthy to give the team a lift.

Our only hope may be pulling a fast one on Selig
And trading leagues with the Cubs. I don’t like NL ball, but our batshit crazy manager does and I do like our results against them.

Zumaya took the cake, but Utley's thumb, Victor Martinez and Dustin Pedroia will probably have the worst effects on their teams

I have VMart, Pedroia, Buchholz, and Heyward on my fantasy team.

speekin of dhez
would the cubs be interested in sending D Lee over? Make Paul the full time DH? Do we even want Lee? Flame away.

Lee would be a Type A, pretty sure. Why not?

his value is at an all-time low, I presume.
What would it take?

Also, Marlon Byrd may be available as well. We can assume Fukodome is too, but we don't need him.
The vultures will soon be circling over Wrigley, and Kenny should be paying attention

He said it Monday morning with Mully and Hanley too. He sounded serious, but he can't be.
Or, Hawk has finally turned him crazy.

play 1b or sell cars
This is like having Marshall Faulk on your fantasy football team in 2000 and screwing up the rest of your draft to finish 7th.
