When are you gona get off his band wagon? He can hit, i'll give him that, but he cant do anything else. my defense off teh top of my head in teh past 3 days is not reading teh ball saturday when he should have scored . Should have been the game there without having to go 11 innings. And yesterday with his bare handed bulls*** on a routine dp that almost cost the sox the game vs, the scrubs. This is not just fluke s*** that happens to him. he makes BAD decisions a lot , has a real hard time turning routine dp's cant run bases, no range, and just plain stupid. Young players do need to develop, but i cant remember any player as dumb as him that all the sudden got smart.
1983 the sox had 1 added player that put a charge into them. It was a similar season. they looked like s*** in the 1st half and picked up Julio cruz who was a fire plug speedster who gave his all and fired that team up.
Aron Miles might be the same type of guy for 2003. Miles has never been called "stupid and Lazy" by other organizations.Give him a shot. And if Jiminez is worth so much with all this bottled up talent, why are we the only team that wanted him?
