July 23, 200421 yr 1. It's a good thing we picked up Everett 2. Let's hope Maggs isn't out for the year. 3. It was Maggs, not the team, who insisted he play RF. He complained about being the DH. 4. Herm Schneider is one of the best trainers in the game. Doctors from the Sox, As and Angels examined Maggs. It's nobody's fault. Just one of those things. 5. It's time for CREDE to start bringing the lumber. Borchard just has to contribute some. Crede has been around for a bit. He needs to do more. points 1-4 are excellent point 5 is good too, and JC will be there for us.
July 23, 200421 yr Naw, we dont need another bat.... What do you like about him? His .209 BA? His 38 RBI's? His 11 HR's? :banghead
July 23, 200421 yr But - if we did aquire Delgado - it would tell me that either Thomas or Maggs will be on the shelf for the rest of the season. Bruce Levine reporting that a high-official in the Sox organization has said four-to-six weeks of rest and rehab... f***ity f*** f***. Which is exactly what's going on. Maggs is done for the season boyz and girlz.. And we all know Frank is pretty much done too.
July 23, 200421 yr I'd like to add also that picking up Delgado would be a terrible move. I agree he is even worse for the money he makes than maggs. Homeruns, k's, or walks.
July 23, 200421 yr TIME TO MAKE A MOVE KENNY Lets get Frank Catalanotto. He can play OF, DH and is cheap.
July 23, 200421 yr 3. It was Maggs, not the team, who insisted he play RF. He complained about being the DH. Very true, and Ozzie told tried to talk him out of it, even telling him if he played the field and aggreivated the injury he'd catch hell for it. Little solace if we lose him for 4-6 weeks. Crap.
July 23, 200421 yr Didn't Herm say just yesterday that it was nothing to worry about? Once i heard that i was feeling really good, until now.
July 23, 200421 yr What do you like about him? His .209 BA? His 38 RBI's? His 11 HR's? :banghead Or that a change of scenery always does good for a player (see Uribe, Everett, Loaiza [in 03]) Or how about he's been hitting .275 40+ 130+ rbi for 4 straight seasons? (not coutning this year) Not saying we should get him, but it can be a possibility.
July 23, 200421 yr Very true, and Ozzie told tried to talk him out of it, even telling him if he played the field and aggreivated the injury he'd catch hell for it. Little solace if we lose him for 4-6 weeks. Crap. and every athlete believes they are bullet proof damn
July 23, 200421 yr I think the sox might get into the steve finley sweepstakes now. IMO, that WILL probably be the BEST pickup. Finley..
July 23, 200421 yr Author IMO, that WILL probably be the BEST pickup. Finley.. Yeah - but who in our farm would we give up? Munoz? I really, really can't see them trading Sweeney or Anderson. Good luck, Kenneth... You're in a tough position right now...
July 23, 200421 yr Or that a change of scenery always does good for a player (see Uribe, Everett, Loaiza [in 03]) Or how about he's been hitting .275 40+ 130+ rbi for 4 straight seasons? (not coutning this year) Not saying we should get him, but it can be a possibility. I agree with you that a change of scenery did Carl good, but I don't think that was a factor in the success of the other two. Delgado gets paid $20 million a year, and his numbers now are pathetic. I'm not saying we don't need to go out and get another bat, but the organization should be wise in any deals. We've given up a lot of talent already this year. There are guys out there who can help us that won't cost an arm and a leg.
July 23, 200421 yr When Maggs first went down, people on the score were speculating that Maggs has a degenerative leg. I remember posting this on here & nobody responded. Degenerative leg...... Is it safe to assume that Maggs will be retiring within the next year or so? What's the word, big bird?
July 23, 200421 yr Yeah - but who in our farm would we give up? Munoz? I really, really can't see them trading Sweeney or Anderson. Good luck, Kenneth... You're in a tough position right now... I doubt Arizona will ask for much from a 35+ year old outfielder. Plius, Kenny is willing to win at all cost. I doubt we'll give up Anderson. That's all I can really say.
July 23, 200421 yr Remember when a lot of us on here were being thankful for the Twins and Cubs injuries (me not included), well it appears the tides have changed. Talk about a change in my mood today. We will see how good we are without our top two hitters next week when the Twins come to town.
July 23, 200421 yr I'm pretty sure KW will make another trade. He said so himself that he wants to go all the way this year and he knows that without our two best hitters, this team really doesn't look the same.
July 23, 200421 yr im a little confused i thought maggz was on the 15 day DL then people say he is out for the season which is it
July 23, 200421 yr I have a feeling something suprising is going to be announced at the press con. Is the conference on ESPN Radio?
July 23, 200421 yr I doubt Arizona will ask for much from a 35+ year old outfielder. Plius, Kenny is willing to win at all cost. I doubt we'll give up Anderson. That's all I can really say. Well it's been said that Philly will give up Marlon Byrd and another prospect. So somehow the sox would have to come up with something better then that.
