May 5, 200620 yr He is an awesome clubhouse guy, fierce competitor and has talent. Pitch selection kills him but if he gets ahold of a pitch, it's gone. He doesn't do anything stupid and he is very easy to root for. I really hope he figures it out because he could really do something. He has 4 tools, if he figures out the fifth watch out. Anyone that really likes baseball pulls for a Joe Borchard. FWIW
May 5, 200620 yr Any of the Joe G haters want to give Joe G a pat on the back for the 2 games we just won on the road?
May 5, 200620 yr Any of the Joe G haters want to give Joe G a pat on the back for the 2 games we just won on the road? Yea, it was smart move to score 11 runs. Way to go Joe G!

Well, he didn't lose the 6-5 nailbiter from the day before. I will say this, Joe was uncharacteristic in saving his best bullet off the bench (Hanley) for the 9th inning, maybe he's learning...
May 5, 200620 yr It's like the Billy Koch move kinda. If he can figure things out, terrific. If not, no harm done. I like that Billy Koch reference :thumbup

So let me get this straight...........When they score a lot of runs it has nothing to do with Joe G........ But when they dont score runs its all his fault? Laughable. :boxed :headscratch :kicknutz
May 5, 200620 yr Check out J&B's statline just one year after being drafted, playing in Double-A - 27 doubles, 27 Home runs, 98 RBI's , .295 BA , .384 OBP, .509 SP. Not bad at all, eh ?
May 7, 200620 yr Joe Borchard has been a strong addition to our lineup...the whole team is hitting better...I just can't wait for Hermida to be back because with him healthy we will finally have major league outfield...if and when Jacobs starts hitting other teams will start worrying when they see the Florida Marlins on the schedule. Borchard should be fine this whole season in CF with Koolaid as the backup...Aguila will still be our 5th outfielder
May 8, 200620 yr I have been charged by a good friend/White Sox fan to revive Borchard's nickname: Light Tower Power (LTP for short). Go forth and spread the good word!
May 11, 200620 yr the only LTP is Jason Stokes! that and I would like to see some power from JoBo ask & ye shall receive. That was a pretty good power display on the 3-run jack. He had to reach out to get that one, & still powered it over the wall. :thumbup

May 11, 200620 yr SS Ramirez RF Hermida 3B Cabrera C Willingham 2B Uggla LF Borchard 1B Jacobs CF Abercrombie [/ C Olivo] Daddy likeeeeeee!!!!! :arms I'll pass. I hope I never see Willingham catch another game (emergencies aside). The risk/reward ratio just isn't there. As for Borchard vs Abercrombie vs Reed (only as a late inning defensive specialist), right now, I just don't know. Someone has to go down when Hermida returns, I would guess most here agree it has to be Reed. Have we seen Borchard in CF? The ESPN fielding stats suggest no, but they may not reflect defensive moves ala his move from RF to LF last night in the ninth. I honestly can't remember.
May 11, 200620 yr I don't think Borchard has been in CF for us yet, but he's played all 3 OF positions before. & I'm all for RFerry's idea. The plan was to at least find out whether Josh could be a major league catcher or not, & that question hasn't been answered yet.
May 11, 200620 yr I wouldn't like Willingham to be a 120-35 game catcher either, but give him a shot and play the hot bats!
May 11, 200620 yr I never want Willingham to play catcher. No sense putting our second best bat at such a risky position. He's fine in LF.
