QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) Actually, I think swapping catcher to 1st or any other position for that matter, is probably more physically different then any other position swap. A catcher playing anything other than catcher is going to be more of a drastic change. That might be true, but this "change" is to a much much easier position, so it supports my argument that they should be able to handle it, thanks. QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:53 PM) A LF wouldn't be more likely to f-up his arm or shoulder trying to pitch than a pitcher? Not necessarily, that is entirely the point, to play within yourself and to have enough knowledge to not go and break yourself stupidly. The responsibility is on the player to not be an idiot. I'm not asking Pods to go pitch, I'm asking a baseball player to play a baseball position as best he can knowing he isn't a regular there. That being said, I'm glad he's trying the rehab .

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:13 PM) So, like a left fielder should be able to come into a game and close it out? I mean, he's seen others do it for 10-15 years on all these different levels. Well for one, you are taking the extreme. Catcher to 1B isn't quite as drastic. Also, I said nothing about excelling at the position, just being able to not break yourself...c'mon now, don't put words in my mouth.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 02:37 PM) In that case, I'm pretty sure everyone who posts on this site thinks they have 20/10 hindsight. heh, that's what I was getting at

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 02:25 PM) I'm pretty sure Wade Boggs has 20/10 hindsight. So he can accurately criticize things that have already happened better than the rest of us? heh

QUOTE(Felix @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 09:38 PM) Considering the fact that $120 is a considerable amount of my current bank account, it wouldn't be a wise investment for me ya, what the hell..$120 is a sizable amount for a poor college student.

I still think him playing 1st wasn't that big of deal...a professional baseball player should be able to play 1st base and not break themselves. They have at least seen others do it for 10-15 years of them playing on all levels. This coming from someone who *did* play for upwards of 10 years. I was an OF but sure as hell wouldn't have fell over and snapped a leg off if I went and played SS or something. It is really just a freak accident that in no way could have been predicted, blaming Ozzie is somewhat ignorant. Hinesight is 20/20 you know.

i'm excited

son of a b****

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 01:55 PM) Exactly! The reason Rowand makes these great diving catches and runs into walls because he gets there when the ball does. BA sees the ball hit, runs the the spot, turns around and catches it. The ability to read a ball immediately off the bat makes you better than one who has to dive everytime. but diving is so much more fun!

what happened to keeping the heart of a team? like our 2005 team? we're turning into the yankees with buying for these astronomical numbers guys....why would we want Manny and his pissy attitude? and by "we" i mean those at soxtalk to propose these silly ideas.

i wouldn't mind keeping pods at all :-/ but i know i'm in the minority here

the entire world series was full of sloppy play from both sides...i wasn't able to actually watch any game in it's entirety, just ugly, ugly play.

did we need help anyway?

i don't want to lose Crede :-/

ya, i'm glad THEY got in and we didn't :-/

No.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 24, 2006 -> 03:40 PM) Its pretty apparent Cotts cannot get anybody out. There is absolutely no reason to use him anymore this year. In fact, just so Ozzie won't be tempted, I think I would send him home. just put him down, like a lame horse

at least the Bears one, was a little ugly, but they won

Cotts, knows if the fans catch them, they aren't outs right? has to be someone on the playing surface.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 06:41 PM) I just realized neil cotts also threw a scoreless inning today they gave up

where are the wins if we've been pitching so good
