Never should have let him go with that discounted price tag.
.281, 35 Big Fly's and 97 RBI. In our ballpark you could add about 10 HR's and 20 RBI!
He is....hand's down.....the AL comeback player of the year.

Not according to Guillen he isnt
At this moment, Guillen is playing it loyal.
He couldn't very well make a case for Frank as his team chugs into the Bay area!
Considering he probably believes it, I feel he is in the extreme minority opinion.

Look at the career numbers--Without a doubt he will be deserving of the Hall of Fame. He's not a first ballot guy, but it shouldn't take him too long after that.
He is a first ballot guy!
and...he has iced it this year.

I cant beleive Im about to say this....
Soxnole, (ugghh) I agree with you.
I am and always have been a big Frank Thomas Fan. He is a first ballot HOF player, hands down. The sox couldnt gamble with his health, the chance of not having a DH, and had to let him go.
I also believe that if they signed him and not Thome, Konerko would have been in an Angels uniform for a long time.

ballgame8,
Never thought about the Konerko angle.
I agree with you.
Now if Paulie could just play first a lot better than Frank instead of a little better!

Hmmm. . . I am going to stick with the fact that he is not a first ballot guy. Lets not forget that the writers vote, and Fank has made plenty of media enemies along the way. This fact coupled with the Hall of Fame stinginess leads me to believe that he will have to wait a year or two.
The numbers are tremndous, but some other factors will delay his enshrinement, in my opinion.

Big Papi seems to be joining the same fraternity!
