May 28, 200421 yr Too early to start thinking about signing this kid for a few years??? I think he is arbitration eligible next year. He is a classic case of a young player brought up too soon (by the Rockies). Straight from A Ball. Looks as if he has his s*** together, but he had fast starts in Colorado, too, but nothing like this. He is a very talented kid. I don't want to brag or anything, but back in ST I predicted he would be starting by the end of April. I did not foresee this kind of versatility, however. Ozzie has been perfect for this kid.
May 28, 200421 yr I don't want to brag or anything, but back in ST I predicted he would be starting by the end of April. Hate to burst your bubble, but a lot of people thought that with the uncertainty of Willie Harris.
May 28, 200421 yr Author Mr. Dylan, I did not see evidence of that sentiment on this board. Most of you all did not like the Uribe/Miles trade. I had the benefit of seeing Uribe play for the last three yrs in Colorado, and I liked his talent. I thought he would put Jose right to the bench (in March). And I said so. Nothing to do with Willie. Ozzie lhas done a great job of managing those guys.
May 28, 200421 yr Hi, I'll admit I wasn't a fan of the trade. I feared he would be a bust. KW is starting to emerge it appears!
May 28, 200421 yr Don't force the issue, if he does this all year, give him a decent deal, nothing yet though.
May 28, 200421 yr I don't want to brag or anything, but back in ST I predicted he would be starting by the end of April. Yeah, you said this before. I think I speak for everyone when I say that you are a genius.
May 28, 200421 yr Uribe has been awsome this year but then again so has Harris. Harris and Uribe are a perfect 1,2 punch and we can go pretty far on both of them. Rowand is coming around himself and if Crede keeps bumbling and AROW keeps coming around we might just be seeing Uribe as our 3B and AROW back in CF (As he should be as he is the best defensive option)

He's too talented to struggle like this for too much longer.
May 28, 200421 yr I'm sure that he will pick it up eventually. However I think a week off might do him some good. Right now you can tell that his swing is just a mess.

May 28, 200421 yr ``This kid will be in the lineup no matter if he has to be behind the plate,'' Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said. ``I never thought my best hitter was going to be Uribe when I got this job.And he is right now.''
