Chicago White Sox
Overall Grade: F+
Record: 71 - 89
Standings: 4th in AL Central
Team MVP: Jim Thome (really no one, but I'm being kinda biased with the 500 hr's)
Team LVP: bullpen
Best Starting Pitcher: Javier Vasquez
Worst Starting Pitcher: Jose Contreras
Best Relief Pitcher: Bobby Jenks
Worst Relief Pitcher: Everyone else
Staff:
Ozzie Guillen (Manager) - D
Don Cooper (Pitching Coach) - D
Greg Walker (Hitting Coach) - D-
Position Players:
C Toby Hall - F+
C AJ Pierzynski - D+
C Donny Lucy - D (Really haven't seen enough of him)
3B Alex Cintron - F-
3B Andy Gonzalez - D-
1B Paul Konerko - C
2B Danny Richar - C+
SS Juan Uribe - C-
RF Jermaine Dye - C-
RF Luis Terrero - D
CF Darin Erstad - F+
CF Jerry Owens - C-
LF Scott Podsednik - F+
LF Josh Fields - B-
DH Jim Thome - B-
Pitchers:
Javier Vasquez - A-
Mark Buehrle - B-
Jon Garland - C
John Danks - D
Jose Contreras - F+
Gavin Floyd - F
Bullpen (sans Bobby Jenks) - F-
Overall Final Thoughts: A horrible bullpen, a horrible first half of hitting, and injuries contibuted to this poor excuse of a 2007 outing. In the offseason Williams needs to work harder than ever to repair this bullpen. I feel that a superstar type of signing needs to be made. A signing of someone like Torii Hunter would be great to not only help the team on the field but give them (hopefully) all the confidence needed in '08. Players like Erstad, Podsednik, and pretty much the whole bullpen needs to be disposed of from the team. Neither of the OF's mentioned contibuted at all and the bullpen was just horendous. Players like Gonzalez, Terrero, and some of the younger guys should be sent down where they can improve more.
Went on a little long there, anyways pretty much a lot of work needs to be done within the next five months.
