greg775 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I hate to be a prick, but to those who are hating on the Sox. ... We suck right now for ONE reason ... no Maggs, no Frank. In fact, we may be a .400 team without them if we don't find ourselves soon. I see no reason to blame anybody. We just suck without them. And who can blame us?? Personlly on my current s*** list are Everett (I don't like him for some reason), Willie (he fooled us early in the year Harris), Juan (he fooled us early in the year Uribe) and KW for taking away Olivo. But seriously how can we critique the Sox right now. WE HAVE NO MAGGS; NO FRANK. Role players are now having to have different roles and Jose V, Carlos, Paulie have yet to respond. It's nobody's fault. We are without 2 studs. Correcto???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I agree. We kill the Twins in this division with those two, and if we can get out of this slide we still have a shot. We still have some talent, we just need someone other than the middle 3 and Rowand to start hitting, and Jose to stop dropping balls. I know he always does that, but he had a nice stretch there.

Kid Gleason Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 So...as of this point should KW go up to Maggs and Frank and asked "so what will it take to keep you around"??? I think he should. By their not being here, they have proven just how important they are to this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By their not being here, they have proven just how important they are to this team. Well Frank has an option for next year so he should be back. I'd certainly give Maggs a solid offer. I would think the best option for both parties would be a one year deal somewhere between $6 and $10 mil. That way he gets some money and gets another shot at FA next year, and the Sox aren't locked into a long term deal with a player that might have a serious injury problem. However I'd personally give him a reasonable long term offer, something like 4 years $40 mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I know this much. This is the 4th year that we have tried to win this division with the heart of the order being Frank, Maggs, Lee, Jose and Paulie. It hasn't worked since the suprise 2000 division crown. Something about that situation needs to change before next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about that situation needs to change before next year. It already has: we got a real ace pitcher for once(at least it looks that way). Our staff in 2000 was a joke, Wells bombed, and Colon was only okay. Garcia is a pitcher that can actually strike people out and can shut down a good team, and Buehrle is still here. This year can't really count against that core. Maggs wasn't playing for a lot of this year, (and I'm not even counting the stretch between DL stints) and Frank has been out a bunch too. We were right in it before Maggs got hurt again. Those two guys make a huge impact on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
