southsider2k5 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hopefully he doesn't. The minute this guy starts swinging for the fences, is the minute his swing goes to s***. He needs to start stealing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssHatSoxFan Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 hes had some goof hits that barely missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Who cares? Like SS2K said, we don't need him swinging for the fences. He's on the team for his speed and defense, not because we needed more HRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elcaballo45 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Are you saying for the season or career? Â Because he had 2 of them in the 2002 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike12345 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 i think willie will break out the second half and end with about 3 home runs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_bears86 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 i dont really care as long as he gets on base and steals he doesnt have to hit a hr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 The man needs to hit one out soon Why does he NEED to hit one out?  He has been tremendous of late and he needs to hit a homerun? Go root for the cubs.. :puke  Hawk should of stuck with comment that fans dont know anything about baseball "And yes I AM including myself in that comment" before someone comes up with a smartass wisecrack....

mike12345 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 i dont think we have a problem with the lack or power production on this team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 I agree we do not need him to hit for the fences....but it sure would be fun to see him round the bases  Maybe he will get an inside the park HR.....with his speed, very possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 The man needs to hit one out soon No he doesn't. He's a leadoff man that means his job is simply to get on base no matter how he does it. HR's and RBI from his spot in the lineup are a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I'm sure he'll hit an inside the park job. Other than that, maybe a couple but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I picked never and that's fine with me. Keep hitting like you are willie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 You know what. Homeruns look nice on ESPN and they do win ballgames but its the walks and base knocks that set up the big innings. That's what you need from your lead off man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 This thread reminds me of when Willie Mays Hayes tries to hit for power in Major League. To deter him from swinging for the fences the managers makes him do push-ups every time he hits a fly ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 It is fun when a guy like Harris nails one into the third row. I agree, he doesn't need to, but sometime he will connect exactly right and sail one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If Big Willie Style can hit 3 HR's this year I don't much care if he EVER hits a HR. I picked within the next 90 Days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 a lot of you missed the point of this thread it seems like it to me.... the person who started this topic wasnt implying that willie needs to start hitting HR's but when will he so all the posts about he doesnt need to hit HR's are completely useless... and btw i say he will have 3 for the season maybe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Wan Kenobi Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If he does hit one, it will happen against the Cubs. Â Having said that, I really don't care if he hits one or not. He's not on the team for his power. The Sox already have seven players who may end up with more than twenty home runs this season. That's more than enough.

WHarris1 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Man, would that be sweet?   I can’t remember the last time I saw someone hit an inside the park homerun. If I recall Borch had one against KC, a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
