QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 04:31 PM) You're taking the worst portion of one player's game and trying to compare it to the other player's entire career. That's not really an even comparison, and is a horrible form of statistical analysis. By totally ignoring half of his stats, you're distorting the reality. What's funny is that Crede doesn't exactly blow those splits out of the water. His overall numbers are better, but not significantly so. You keep using that one argument, we're using several. What's worse is that we've come up with arguments to counter that one line of debate, such as that moving from Ameriquest to the Cell isn't that big a dropoff, especially considering that the Sox offense and pitching staff dragged them down a bit last year, or that by switching divisions his road trips are going to change, dropping 22 games at unfavorable parks down to about 9 and gaining games at more neutral parks. Those 3 parks make up more than a quarter of his road trips, and he only hits well at Safeco, and even those numbers came down this year. The Sox could potentially acquire a player with a high level of talent who is coming off a down year. That down year was still better than Crede's best year, and you're still trying to argue against it. Blalock is also signed longer for a reasonable amount of injuries and has no injury concerns at all. It's not like the Sox haven't had guys with bad splits in the past. Hell, our team hit ten points higher on the road last year, maybe we need someone that can only hit well in hitter's parks. In the proposed trade, we'd get a solid 3B, a decent OF, and possibly a top prospect for two guys that will probably be gone in the near future anyways. I've seen much worse trades. good post. Agreed on everything i suppose, im sorry, maybe i did get a bit homer-ish, just doesnt seem like a huge upgrade from crede to blalock, mayb thats due to the downyear and such.

i wud take chavez, deffinitly over blalock. IMO.

thanks aj! great quotes

team player.

happy b-day!

I never thought of that, v. good point.

I prolly woulda done the same thing the guy did, but its prolly the wrong idea. putting your family in greater risk.

Dam . intresting. thx for the post

Not really, I was all in for all the other trades, aaron rowand for thome etc. I just dont like replacing our third basemen who has been unbelivable with the glove, and has been very clutch with a low-mediocre average for a guy who hits a few more homeruns, and average aint that much higher, and i dont think hes AS good as credes defense, tho he may not be bad. I just dont see the upgrade... but once again ill state, if crede is hurt some pretty major way, then im all in for this.

i hope we can lock up garland and have him wanting to stay here, for an even price. what would be a fair price? :s

lol, dam, the god kerry wood in trade rumors!

Agreed maggs once again. Ive always thought jon wud be an easy resign, up until this offseason. But hes young, he knows the team from his experience, hes just on the verge of stardom, id be willing to give him the contract extension over contreras. Just to have our pitchers locked up for the next years.. but its really up top garland, if he doesnt wanna be here.. then theirs no use in trying.

i would rather have a healthy crede over a healthy blalock the defense, the CLUTCH, is their for crede. thats what we need outta him. hell it wud be nice if we had all that + average. but i just dont think we get it with blalock. now if crede does have some serious issues, i dont know how to feel about this.

im getting a aj jersey, and a konerko jersey now that their a bit locked up

agreed maggsmaggs Also freddy garcia - hes ozzies like brother in law? or something? he has to be staying.. if theirs any "hometown discount" that would be it. you get him, and buehrle (who well prolly be 10+ mil) and then get b-mac and have vazquez for a while you get 4 good pitchers for a while. and then whatever we decide to do with jon/jose is the next key to the treasure box.

s***. thats NOT good. hopefully we can get him for a decent price still.. would be awful to see jon and jose go due to the outrageous contracts =[. sooner or later the white sox would have to join the big market for pitching, am i correct?

damn, need a bittorent. but saw some of it the other day, pretty kool thx for the post.

f***ing jays..

kill the east coast system! i hope we play the yankees next!

GO ILLINOIS!

thats the same way how i feel.
