:headshake Believe what you want to believe.. So I'll say this.. what happens when one of them get's traded back here. Would you still talk s*** just because he was on another team putting up good numbers..

Who said anything about lovin the guy? I was a fan of his yes. Look at my profile then and you'll know I was a fan of a couple others (prospects and players) in the organization. Yes, he's gone, but that doesnt mean I could care less and talk s*** because he's in the organization anymore. I bet money that if Borchard was traded, you would find every detail to say why he was a bust and will suck it up just because he's not here anymore. IMO.. I'll say it agian IMO... Reed>Borchard and will have a better career.

So lets say Reed/Olivo (former whitesox orgaizational players) have good careers in Seattle. You wouldnt be a fan of theirs and wish them the best even if you didnt follow them closely..

In all honestly once, but that was when Reed wasn't well known in the organization. My name was J.Reedfan8 when he was heating up in Birm. I liked Reed cause he gave me his autograph (hopefully it'll be valuable in the future) (Oh and BTW Reed went 1-4 that day) I really didnt see much action from him eigher considering I was on a trip and was playing around with my little brother. Have you seen him play??

Right back at cha Borchardfan..

Exactly.

I'll say it again.. Come back to me in 3 years just to see who is having more of a stud career.

Ill live with that.

It's going to seriousle help him. Safeco is like the Birm. park. It's more of a pitchers park. Reed is a line drive hitter. Besides, scouts are usually wrong about everything. They said Palmeiro would be JUST a gap hitter like Reed. Look who's in the 500 homerun club? As for being compared to Crede.. that's not saying much considering how inconsistant Crede has been throughout his young career so far.

Well he's off to a very good start in Tacoma isn't he? Plus, SEa. GM said Reed should be in the majors very soon.

Well, maybe because Borchard has an incredible work ethic of preparing and usually he doesn't get injured. Reed does as well, but he has had some unfortunite ones (making a catch while hitting the wall hard thts how he messed up his wrist, and that collision with Valdez) Reed didnt even make it known. I believe aboz gave a report on him on futuresox. It's incredible how he's batting in the .275-.280 range while having bad wrist. Borchard could even get on his jock for that kind of average..

Come back to me in 3 years when we see who is having a better major league career. (that's if Borchard even stays in the majors )

Here I'll show you first the statement I made earlier about these two. And this is not even counting the 0-4 1K day Borchard had today... Hmmm.... let's see here Reed's all around numbers from AAA: BA- .276 AB-279 H- 77 2B- 15 3B- 2 HR- 9 RBI- 39 BB- 38 SO- 32 Reed's numbers in Tacoma: BA- .333 SLG- .733 AB-15 H-5 2B- 1 3B- 1 HR- 1 RBI- 3 BB- 2 SO- 0 And this is how he's playing with "bad wrist." Imagine this kid fully healthy. Those numbers would increase a good amount and I bet he would still be here. Now let's take a look at a "healthy" Joe Borchard numbers Borchard's all around number's in AAA: BA- .267 SLG- .487 AB- 273 H- 73 2B- 18 3B- 0 HR- 14 RBI- 46 BB- 25 SO- 61 Borchard has the power potential, but that's all I see in him. This team did not need any power guys. We needed a solid contact hitter who can get on base which Reed does/will do. That's why I'll never understand why we gave them Reed. Upside my ass. Reed will be a proven comodity and Borchard has bust written all over him. Reed>Borchard

That's your opinion. I don't see how Borchard will be so great in your eyes. You want some stats here I'll show you some in a minute. Yea I'm sure you look at the stats soooo many times..

Read more in this thread about when I'm compaing the two and their numbers then you'll see.

Man what's up with Japanese people eating Weiners.. First Tadano now this guy.. Now I'll know who to call if my mom makes too much hotdogs..

Thank god!! BTW, Kornheiser was right when he said he won't pass 100. I'm sure this will be the first showing on SC and BBTN. BTW.. 4,000..

I'll buy ya one Rex. It's on me..

Well, some of what you said is correct, but I don't want to go into theory because I'll probably overtype and blow your arguement into the river.. but I'll say when you said Reed isn't THAT much younger.. Borch=25 (turning 26 soon) Reed=23 (just turned 23) There you go..

"The one that got away.."

I wasn't gonna post until later but... Happy 17th Birthday to one of the smartest posters/youngsters here.. :cheers Wite, a stripper is comming over your house any moment now..

:headshake BOOOO!!

LMAO!! It's funny how you say that..

Naw. Jose has more pop. Has Nomar ever hit 25+ homeruns for more than 4 straight seasons? Only four have done that (Tejada, A-Rod, Valentin, Ripken)

We will see what their made of in the 2nd half when they face the tough teams in the AL.
