Maybe, and this is just a thought, Konerko wasn't pleasing the fans with his attitude. They fans do the deciding by votes, IF they vote Yankees it’s up to them!!

He's cost us more games than Thornton and the lsck of speed put together!

]]> Comment on Brent Morel: Just Another White Sox Player Not Performing by michael.turano http://www.whitesoxrant.com/2011/06/brent-morel-just-another-white-sox-player-not-performing.html/comment-page-1/#comment-584 michael.turano Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:53:59 +0000 http://www.whitesoxrant.com/?p=832#comment-584 Totally agree with you 100%. The problem I have is that Morel is sometimes hitting in the 2 spot. Not to mention his second walk of the year came on June 28th. Again, I do agree with you that the kid is a rookie and may have some amazing years in the future. It's just frustrating that he isn't having a better year. I agree that he isn't the White Sox main problem, and that expecting a lot from a rookie isn't fair, it would just be great if he was having a better year at the plate. Totally agree with you 100%.

Brent Morel is probably the last guy on the team that should garner criticism. You need to think big picture and long term. If at the start of the year I told you Morel was going to hit .250 and play a solid 3rd base you would have been fine with it. That is because he is a rookie who was supposed to be batting 9th. I told all my Sox friends before the year started, "If we ever start talking about Morel's offense, it means the Sox have big problems." They do, they are named Adam Dunn, Alex Rios, Juan Pierre, Gordon Beckham. These are the guys that need to pick it up. Morel is a project and quite frankly reminds me a lot of Crede's first season, with a little less pop. Heck even Robin Ventura, probably the Sox best offensive third basemen of all time started his career like 0-43. Morel isn't tearing the cover off the ball, but he wasn't expected too, other guys were. That is the Sox issue, not Brent Morel.
