January 4, 200422 yr MILKMAN!!! Ah niiiiiiice!.... good ol' Herbert Perry....he was the man in 2000. Is he still in the league?
January 4, 200422 yr Ah niiiiiiice!.... good ol' Herbert Perry....he was the man in 2000. Is he still in the league? Last time I remember he was playin with the Texas Rangers, dunno if he's still there or not. Mayb a bench guy we could go afta if he's out of contract.
January 4, 200422 yr Ah niiiiiiice!.... good ol' Herbert Perry....he was the man in 2000. Is he still in the league? Dabby's right....Texas had him. Not sure if he is still with them, but he was in 2002, and he hit like 25 homers.
January 4, 200422 yr Dabby's right....Texas had him. Not sure if he is still with them, but he was in 2002, and he hit like 25 homers. Yeah I remember he had a pretty good year for em in 2002. But with Blalock at 3rd now and Teixeira at 1st, I'd think he'd prob want to move on to somewhere else to find sum more playin time.
January 4, 200422 yr Yeah I remember he had a pretty good year for em in 2002. But with Blalock at 3rd now and Teixeira at 1st, I'd think he'd prob want to move on to somewhere else to find sum more playin time. You'd think so, but I wouldn't be so sure with Herb. He seems to be a guy that just wants to win. He is missed in Chicago. If Konerko were ever dealt, or Crede hurt, I'd welcome Herbert back in a second. He is a great player and is very clutch.
January 4, 200422 yr Lance Johnson, I dunno why, but that's just who I remember liking a lot as a kid.
January 4, 200422 yr Ya beat me to the punch. First person to come to my head was herbert perry. Durham was a great player as well.
January 4, 200422 yr im gonna have to go with roberto hernandez... he was a great closer for us back in the day
January 4, 200422 yr Mike Lavalliere (or however you spell that)...mostly beacuse his nickname was Spanky. Norberto Martin was a good one, too. But definitely the most underappreciated Sox player is Tim Raines. That goes for every team he was one. He is arguably the second best leadoff man of all time, but he just got stuck playing his entire career in the shadow of the best one. I think a lot of guys from the mid-90s teams are underappreciated, by the way.
January 4, 200422 yr Maybe not my favorite, but one that comes to mind as of now is Craig Grebeck. That little guy had some nice "pop" to his bat.I really liked him!! Also, Tim Hulett. He didn't do a heck of a lot, but he was kind of our "Graffy" of the mid 80's! By the way, whatever happened to Lyle Mouton? When he came up, I thought he was going to really amount to something! Least favorite........ Gotta put Mike Squires in there. Constantly ragged that he wasn't doing well because of little playing time. He finally got his chance, and he did worse. Tommy McCraw was famous for his annual pop-up to the firstbaseman in clutch situations. Gene Freese......... hit 273 with 79 RBI's in 1960. Only problem was, most of those came when the Sox were ahead by 5 or more runs. When the game was on the line, he lived up to his name.
January 4, 200422 yr I forgot Grebeck. I liked him way better than Tony G. He was just a small, scrappy player and that's what I liked about him. I was impressed with Mouton when whe came up too but he never really got a shot at a starting job.
January 4, 200422 yr Sirotka...definitley. Yeah. He was such a huge part of our success back in 2000. We should have kept him and let him get well instead of trading him for that fat tub of s*** David Wells.
January 4, 200422 yr Ventura defenitely was up there with Sirotka. You know why Ventura was unsung? Because he didnt make a big spectacle of himself, he just went out there and laid his heart out on the field day in and day out.
January 4, 200422 yr Yeah. He was such a huge part of our success back in 2000. We should have kept him and let him get well instead of trading him for that fat tub of s*** David Wells. Oh yes, we had such a dominant roatation Our badass ace James Baldwin, with such studs as cal eldred, mike sirotka, jim parque, and kip wells.
January 4, 200422 yr Author I love it! Gene Freeze and Ken Kravec. What great sox fans we have on here. If we're gonna go that far back then I'll add... Pete WARD and Wayne Nordhagen.
