It looks great, just one tweak. I don't have any sources to back this up just now, but I can look later. I'd list Jayson Nix over Brent Lillibridge on the White Sox bench as it's currently constructed. Nix had a much larger role on last year's team, and everything I've heard at SoxMachine, SouthSideSox, etc. has indicated that that is the plan. I'm pretty sure the front office said something about liking him off the bench at some point this offseason, probably after the Teahen trade.
My thinking was that Lillibridge's experience playing the OF could give him the edge. With Kotsay and Jones now in the mix, it might not matter so you could be right. I'll definitely look into it.
Me again. Your thinking does make some sense. But Ozzie used Nix in the outfield occasionally last year, and they seem to feel pretty comfortable with him out there. Then there's always Teahen at 3B capable of switching, although I think they'll try to avoid that if they can. Nix is also out of options. It's a small matter, though, because with a good spring Lillibridge could beat out Nix, and if Kenny signs another bat neither of them will be on the short list.
This is the best I can find, and it's not very conclusive:
http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20091214&content_id=7807542&vkey=news_cws&fext=.jsp&c_id=cws
All good points. I will make the change based on the fact that Nix is out of options. Lillibridge has more speed and more OF experience but Nix has more power and can also run pretty well. You're right,though. One more acquisition or free agent signing and both are long shots. If not, it would be an interesting battle to watch in spring training. Thanks for the feedback.
I know this may sound crazy, but how about Jermaine Dye in RF. For all the other options we keep thinking about Dye can still produce better than what we got on the bench. We still a lefty that can hit 30+ hr. Kenny smarten up. This is Chicago's Baseball Team, lets act like it. If I here 1 more thing about the sissies from the north side I am gonna vomit. White Sox are Bridgeports Finest. Chi-Town 4ever...
Love the website. The only questions on this page is Teahen batting 3rd. I haven't seen that in a news story or another website yet. Thanks
I think you're right on Teahen not being in the #3 spot. Quentin has hit mostly 3rd this spring but the rest of the lineup is hard to get a grasp on. Any ideas?
Jason, it does seem pretty hard to tell. This Chicago Tribune story mentions Kotsay batting 3rd against right-handers: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/ct-spt-0325-white-sox-chicago-spring-trai20100324,0,4754935.story. So it looks like a Kotsay/Jones platoon at DH where Kotsay would play more (more right-handers I'm guessing). So the sox probably are better-suited for multiple batting orders (R/L). R: Pierre, Beckham, Kotsay, Quentin, Konerko, Rios, Teahen, Pierzynski, Ramirez. L: Pierre, Beckham, Quentin, Konerko, Rios, Teahen, Pierzynski, Jones, Ramirez/Vizquel. Pretty messy.
