February 8, 200323 yr finally he gets some credit..he is THE most underrated player of the game..i bet not many people outside of chicago has ever heard of him Joe Torre has. Torre is in love with Maggs. Since the White Sox probably won't pay Maggs what he deserves when his contract is up, the smart money will be on the Yankees to acquire Chicago's best RF'er.
February 8, 200323 yr Author O E O The caption on the pic, gives away what happened to him in the contest if you really want to know, you can just go to Yahoo! Pictures page, I won't say it here, in case anybody wants to be surprised.
February 9, 200323 yr Chicago White Sox Magglio Ordonez swings for his tenth home run during the quarterfinal round of the Big League Home Run Challenge Saturday, Feb. 8, 2003, in Las Vegas. Ordonez beat Pittsburgh Pirates Brian Giles 10-9 to advance to the semi-finals.
February 9, 200323 yr Author Here's the caption read at your own risk: Chicago White Sox's Magglio Ordonez connects for his contest-winning 13th home run during the final round of the Big League Home Run Challenge on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2003, in Las Vegas. Ordonez beat Philadelphia Phillies' Pat Burrell 13-12. Go Maggs, hope this doesn't f*** up your swing for this season...
February 9, 200323 yr glad he won, and way more glad that he did this in february which goives him plenty of time to get his swing back in ST for the regular season - PK's never regained his swing after the All Star home run thing last July.
February 9, 200323 yr glad he won, and way more glad that he did this in february which goives him plenty of time to get his swing back in ST for the regular season - PK's never regained his swing after the All Star home run thing last July. i hate these friggen things...maggs is no home run hitter...he is at his best when he looks to drive the ball to RC ala edgar martinez...i dont want maggs hitting more than 35 homers because for every homer over 35 ill bet his average drops 5 points
February 9, 200323 yr So baggs...what you're saying is that this past season if Maggs would have hit 35 homers he would have hit .335? Not so sure about that.
February 9, 200323 yr Maggs will be fine, he swing is effortless so don't worry! Maggs is a budding Mega-star....... nough said.
February 9, 200323 yr One thing I'd like to see Maggs do is steal more bases like he did in 2001.... it's not crucial to his game....... but if he does he will be truly be a 5 tool player....

February 9, 200323 yr that is my one fear of Ordonez baggs. I hope he doesn't get into the mindset of so many other players and builds muscle and just starts swinging for the fence. hopefully he keeps that Edgar Martinez mentality in him.
February 9, 200323 yr Thats what Maggs reminds me of. He's a lot like Edgar with that live bat. He can hit the ball to all parts of the field. Magglio may be the best offensive player in the majors in a year or two.
