No way, in his last go around with the Sox, he was Pterrible.

Carlos Quentin b/c he has never let me down Never seen em play

Josh Fields, please dont be the next Curtis Enis. That is all.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 04:56 PM) The shoulder injury occurred in March. And it's not like he hasn't had major league success, he's been both great and terrible in the majors. It's most likely that he's just a young player who possesses incredible talent but who needs get healthy, avoid injuries and further development at the major league level. Here's how his 2007 season went: March: Tore his left labrum April: Started the season on the DL (missed about 2 weeks) May: Bad June: Bad July: 1.)Was demoted on the 6th 2.) Played incredibly well during his time at AAA 3.) Recalled from AAA on the 27th August: 1.) Suffered a moderate hamstring injury on the first day of the month that landed him on the DL 2.) Started a rehab assignment on the 19th and played poorly at AAA 3.) Activated from the DL on SEPT 1st 4.) Got a grand total of 11 ABs in the month of SEPT since the OF was full (Byrnes, Young, Upton) October: Underwent surgery to repair his torn left rotator cuff and labrum very interesting, thanks very much for that Ideally O-Cab can be a pseudo leadoff and we can platoon w/ this guy.

so, to educate a guy who doesnt know a ton about Quentin.... do we know for sure that his injury happened AFTER his minor league success last year? or can it still simply be that he's great at AAA and bad in the majors?

in offseasons like this one it's nice to think about Jeremy Reed being, well, bad now.

If we're expecting Uribe and Richar to be similar numbers wise.... then doesnt it make sense to go with Uribe opening day? You can get his trade value up for a bit.... and you're probably going to get a little power from him than Richar, even if the stats last yr are comparable. I dunno. First ss injured somewhere, and you go knocking on the door with Uribe and his upstart .308 average. Quickly traded before it does its usual swannage.

I like it simply for the fact that there's just less talk in general. Like '05. When the exhibition is talked up insane amounts it just hurts my head. I know, why am I on a message board, etc.

I dont really get the Bartolo hate... did he have some personality issues I'm not aware of? Well I guess ppl can be mad he left, but he produced alright, and we didnt pay up.

If someone wants to call me naive and inform me, I'm all for it. But let me ask this... Why is everyone so up in arms about losing the prospects? Sure we potentially lose a lot, but 1) none may pan out 2) isn't it (theoretically) just a decision to spend more on the present EVERY year? it's not just going for 2008. it means JR will have to spend more each year to come. Not saying JR will, but theoretically, isnt it something you shouldnt get up in arms about? if we just drained the minor league pitching, then said pitching will never see the big leagues. we'll replace that with actual major leaguers.

my apologies to the masses

just showed him on ESPN rehabbing his ACL with a sox hat on he's from montana, weird.

Wow, kinda hilarious that he calls himself a potential jackass. i thought them days wuz over for him

QUOTE(RudyLawRules @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 03:44 PM) They sure like to celebrate HRs. even more hilarious, according to the announcing...that HR is of a game-tying dinger in the FIRST inning. i think it's a postseason game, but still. that is quite the celeb. If the game ends 12-14, there's going to be about 700 total high fives.

I saw that agent description too and thought it was the most pathetic thing i've ever heard someone say about their client.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 12:45 PM) More likely, KW is again working under the radar, and it will be something no one expected. He does excel at that. I wouldnt say he excels at it, but it's more like... he LIKES to do it, and pulls the trigger impulsively to make sure he always does it that way.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 23, 2007 -> 03:45 PM) Quit trying to make this seem like not the worst signing ever. It's a valid point though. Look at the 06 numbers, where Cordero's pretty much Linebrink - and then last year he was not tons better than Linebrink either

post about hunter or dont, i dont want to have to scroll back to find the last thing directly about him in this thread

and then said fan drops his beer can,full

despite my postcount, believe i am depressed all day now would we be better with 1B Thome, DH Big Frank. OK - kill me . . . .

pretty great, fields

i wish the swear filter existed in real life

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:36 AM) Seconded. harsh restatements of my original post, all of you. this is gonna be life changing i can sense it !!!!1!!!!
