maybe it's ignorance born out of frustration, but there is a part of me that thinks I could get a hit at least 24% of the time...which would be better than the White Sox as a team is currently doing.
Flashback to '07, without a doubt.
I'm not one to call for people's jobs, especially those in positions I know nothing about (i.e. major league hitting coach); but the Sox hit .246 as a team last year (.318 OBP); following a .259 performance in Sept & Oct. of 06 when the team went in the toilet..
To me - that's not a slump. That's bad. Really bad. And it may not be Greg Walker's fault. It is entirely possible that Paul Konerko is done in his 12th season. That Jermaine Dye is done in his 13th season. That Jim Thome is done in his 18th season.
These guys are not in their prime anymore, regardless of what their contracts say. Sometimes you just get old real quick.
