QUOTE(Balance @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) Can Gload play third base at all? Especially in light of Crede's sore back? http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=37151

Hernandez hitting anyone does nothing except give them a free base.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) After a heroic effort by the Red Sox, they fall to the White Sox 4-1. Mark Buerhle has been linked with Jon Garland, and half the whitesox team to a move to the Yanks. Steinbrenner has declared that he should have the best team. Boston Gammons I will never believe he is only 60. Never. The dude has had the same hair for the last twenty years and has alway slooked like he was about to fall over and die. He must have been born in the domincan republic.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) DO NOT LOOK AT THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN. Has it not become clear that this team is not about "ability", but is about "chemistry". And the definition of chemistry is, Ozzie likes them. Our chemistry is fine as long as Ozzie likes them, not so fine if he does not. And I think its laughable every time the thing that holds Gload back is, he cant play OF. He could not play OF when he was healthy either. hehe SB Nearly everyone wrote off everett as a viable option in the outfield this year. Other than running into the wall early on in the year ( awful play on his part) he has done pretty well considering. I truly believe if gload didn't make that error against the cubs alot more people would be for him playing the outfield.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:50 PM) Vizcaino should be in Charlotte Like i said you will have a new team to root for in about ten days.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) Mueller is an above average third baseman with good range and a good arm. He's not a gold glover but is annually in the top five in every defensive statistic that matters. So you would be discluding fielding percentage, range factor, and zone rating? What are this defesive statistics that matter then? Hmm.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) When was this Qwerty? Long time ago. You were not in your streak of posting at the time it happened.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) If he pays and decides to share, that's on him....his choice, his dough. That is not the point. It is illegal. I don't really care if the admins and mods don't care... but when i mentioned it before some poster went ''rawwwwwwwwr''.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) From the Pistons board at RealGM, one of the main reasons was because of his unwillingness to develop Darko Milicic and Carlos Delfino. He does has that knack for not playing rookies/ very young players.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) Posting that whole article is wrong, people are supposed to pay for that info and its an infringement to post that material for users to see that do not pay for it!!! I said that before and i got b****ed at for about two pages how i am a snitch and it doesn't matter. :rolly

Gonna be a high scoring game i think. I say the sox win 11-9.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) How do Vizcaino and Jenks stay yet Shingo is let go. This does not make sense to me I really do not see how we are a better right now. Shingo's era is nearly six and while meatball has still been letting on 500 runners an inning he has not been letting them score. Jenks has pitched two innings and his upside is 10x better than shingo's.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) Does the designation of assignment mean he can't use his no-trade clause?? Where is this dude's no trade clause? He didn't have one as far as i am concerned. I would have found it by now... mlb4u has every player's not trade clause int he league and not his.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) How long before Shingo gets called back up? I say 5 days. Looks like your gonna have to find a new team to follow.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:23 PM) Has Shingo been sent to Charlotte? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) Source? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

One july 17th of last year the two best records in baseball were as follows. Yankees~ 57-32, .640. Cardinals~ 56-34, .622.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) Jenks on the MLB roster over Shingo is not an improvement. Might be an improvement in runs given up.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) I watched Cintron play 3B a lot and he can play, I would say he's definitely a step up from Ozuna, a big step up. But I think any speculation about Cintron is moot IMO, they'd want more for him than Shingo. My guess is we'd get a prospect and nothing more. Wel he has only played 40 games at third (25 started) and has not faired overally well. That is what i was going by...

Lefties that threw left handed at the catching position. Babe ruth was also a left handed catcher...

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) Cintron has truly fallen out of favor with the Diamondbacks. If you listen to talk around the league, teams are truly enamored with Willie Harris' speed. I guess they all think he is a project that is too fast to not be interested in. Unfortunately, we all know this is not true, and that Willie Harris can't hit, has no stolen base instict, and sucks at defense (ie worthless). If the Diamondbacks can't give Cintron the everyday job after what he accomplished in 2003, then they are willing to deal him. I truly feel that a Shingo and Willie trade for Cintron could work, with perhaps smaller pieces working as well. This would be huge for the White Sox, as Cintron is a great defensive player at SS, 2B, and 3B, plus, I am in total believe that he could then become a staple in this organization. Anyway, this is just a cream dream, because if Pittsburgh is willing to deal Mesa, I think the D-Backs would bite on that before Shingo (duh!). Go home. Willie sucks at defense? ROFL. Cintron can play third? So can ozuna. I like cintron but he is overated around these parts imo. Ideally he is a platoon player ( cannot hit left handed aka hit righties well) He has hit .267 the last three years and .311 obp, .702 ops. In otherwords...meh.
