SoxWatcher Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 This isn't a major point, but it is of some significance. I was wondering how old everyone thought Jose Contreras is. I read the article about Jose in the Sept. 29 CST in which Ozzie referred to him as "this kid." I wonder if Ozzie was joking. He is officially listed as 32 years old. Of course, everyone knows this is BS. He came out of Cuba and could say his age was whatever he wanted to say. His age is of relevance because both Sox fans and Sox management is talking about how Jose needs to change how he pitches in order to become effective. He needs to not tip his pitches, throw more fastballs, get better control, get better command, etc. If he really were a kid, I'd be more likely to be optimistic that he can change how he pitches. But, he isn't a kid; therefore I'm not so optimistic. With Jose, what you see is what you got. How old do you think he is? I'd put the over/under at 39.

EvilJester99 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I believe they say he is 32 but he sure looks older than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I say about 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I say about 34 You can say that again! (I agree with you BTW - seems like 2 years is about right in terms of what these Cuban athletes lop off their ages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
