If you need any help drop me an electronic line.

So do I. I kinda doubt that has ever happened, but that would be really cool if it did.

We'll have to remember this thread at the end of the season, so we'll know who was right.

It doesn't look like you have a lot of support on your side.

I agree. It should be his job to lose.

What years did Frank have those averages? '94, '96, and '97, respectively. That's been six years. I still think that Magglio is the best hitter in the lineup right now. I hate to do this, because I love Mags, but... The last season that Frank was himself was 2000. In that season, Frank was .328, 43, and 143. Mags was .315, 32, 126. Frank's OBP was .436, compared to Mags' .371. Mags was good, but Frank was great. Even look at last season. Frank had what was probably his worst year, and Mags had his best year. Yet, Mags' OBP was only 20 points higher than Frank's (.381 to .361). So again, Mags is good, but Frank is (still) better. Maggs' ba was 68 points higher last year, had 105 more total bases and his slugging was about 125 points higher. Comparing one person's best season to another's worst proves absolutely nothing. It's a waste of time to write it, and a waste of time for others to read it. I don't see how referring to how Thomas did 6 seasons ago proves how good he will do now either.

MLB.com has him on the Knights roster.

I still don't think you can say Frank is better until he does better. Does this poll mean the best hitter overall for the Sox (including past performance) or best hitter right now?

We could also do an NCAA tourney contest, I guess.

Would any of you be interested in participating in a fantasy baseball league on Yahoo! when the season is close to starting? Maybe it could be an official Soxtalk fantasy league.

Still in Charlotte. I doubt he will ever see the big leagues in a non-emergency situation. We just have too many others that are still better than him.

Do you mean Chad Durham?

A player doesn't have to be exciting to be effective.

I like the sound of that, but I'd still rather see D'ang have the position, and have it to be his to lose.

This is not even a contest. Magglio.

I sure hope I never see Paul in Silver and Black again.

Wow. The Sox don't even play a ST game for 11 more days, and people are asking who we will face in the World Series? Believe me, it's easy for things to get f***ed up, really fast.

I've lived in Oelwein Iowa my whole life, and will most likely be going to college in Ames and/or Iowa City, Iowa in late 2005. I bet the Huskies could take any high school team you throw at them, too. (Well of course for those sports we dont have, we only have about 450 in our high school)

I'd have to go with sex with a porn star, mainly because the World Series wouldn't really change my life as much as a Porn Star would, and you nevere know, you might just be good enough that first time to do it again.

wow thats not wut he ment when he said secret sauce I know, it was just a little factoid that came to mind at the time.

Unfortunately, YES, a lot of people are total sheep and live and die on every move that these people make. This "culture" is so full of star-crossed followers that some idiots don't even know the name of our Vice President, but can rattle off the title of every movie Tom Cruise has ever been in. A huge segment of the American population is a complete embarrassment. The Kennedys are royalty, people chased another country's princess to her death, and we're more concerned with Michael Jackson's nose, Britney Spears' inflating and deflating tits and where R. Kelly's allegedly sticking his meat than we are with a potential global crisis. It's the lowest common denominator at an all-time low, and it's sad. I cant remember the exact numbers but in a poll for 18 year olds I think it was, a good majority of them could not locate the Pacific Ocean. That is just sad. Fortunately there are enough smart kids to keep this country dominant in the future... And just thinking about it, can you imagine the current generation running the country? Like me, wsc, wsf and bighurt as Americas leaders? Thats kinda insane. Some of the vocabulary they may use and such... Hey roman. Here is the test. Wow, that is truly sad. In middle school, we had to know where every country in the world was (well, I guess not like the Maldivies and such, but countries like Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan). I'm just glad my teachers cared.
