June 29, 20196 yr I could not sleep and was thinking about making a lineup of Sox players who were not really stars but I just liked to see them play. So I thought of each position and these are the guys that popped into my head. By the way, I know this is a pretty bad defensive club, especially in the outfield. I call it my "I don't know, I liked them lineup" and I'd love to hear others: 1b Mike Squires 2b Tim Hulett SS Craig Grebek 3b Herbert Perry C Brian Downing LF Ivan Calderon CF Steve Lyons RF Dan Pasqua

June 29, 20196 yr Nice list. It hurt to see Steve Lyons on it, though. I remember him playing 3rd. Perhaps the worst player I have ever seen get close to 500 at bats. How about Chris Singleton? He was good for one year. Or Dewayne Wise? Not a great player, but the catch? Hell, give me Thad Bosley. Anybody but Lyons.

Haha I was going to add pitchers and the 3 I thought of were Wunsch, Donn Pall, and Floyd Banister...and The Milkman always delivers (sorry just had to do that) Edited June 29, 20196 yr by wegner

Anybody but Lyons. You know what, Lyons was the last one I put on. Your suggestions are very good. I was also actually thinking of Ralph Garr but I think the road runner has his detractors. I would change it but that would be cheating and then your post wouldn't make sense. ?

June 29, 20196 yr Nyls Nyman, Harry Chappas, Kevin Bell, guys who were supposed to be good but flamed. Solid guys I liked, (Bucky Dent, my fav as a kid), Jim Spencer super dead pull. Anyone remember Buddy Bradford, if Reggie Jackson was Mr October, Buddy was Mr April.

I don't remember Bradford. I do remember my sisters loved Bucky Dent.

June 29, 20196 yr I used Baseball Reference and went season by season from 1980-2010. What a depressing list. It's really amazing how many bad players have filtered through the Sox system. Here's my list - a little 1983 heavy (and I had to stop myself from adding more) C Wayne Nordhagen 1b Greg Walker 2b Julio Cruz 3b Jim Morrison SS Alan Bannister LF Chet Lemon CF Rudy Law RF Sammy Sosa P Jason Bere ---------------------------------------- My favorite HOF/near HOF guys who spent very little time in the org. C Sandy Alomar 1b Bo Jackson (Bo knows 1b?) 2b Roberto Alomar 3b Ron Santo SS Fernando Tatis, Jr. LF Sammy Sosa CF Ken Griffey, Jr. RF Jose Canseco P Steve Carlton P Tom Seaver RP Goose Gossage
