AnthraxFan93 Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 You're right about the argument, yet you can't comprehend post. :rolly I'll break it down for you; Who has more MLB experience; Polanco, or one of these two guys you suggested? For the record, I'm not one of these posters obsessed with Polanco, I'm obsessed with trading for Randy Johnson. Good point with MLB experince I'm sure the Yankees are thinking to themselves we should have not gone after Matsui in 03 I mean there were so many other OF out there with Major league expereince, we should go after them! :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 This is stupid. Seriously guys, while Anthrax may be annoying (sorry to say buddy, but yeah), people jump on him everytime. He simply brought up a player he thought may be a person we could look at. I am sure none of us are firmiliar with the guy or his game. I am tired of all the bickering on this site. Its too much. Basically every thread goes back to Polanco and Cabrera etc. Its old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only read so many posts about Polcano Randy Kendall All of which, do not fit this club.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hey thats cool.. I just trying to bring something new like you said.. I can only read so many posts about Polanco Randy Kendall All of which, do not fit this club.. I hate to disagree, but Jason Kendall would have been a great fit on the Sox. Experienced catcher, leadoff hitter....I'd have liked that a lot. The Sox need another starter, I'm just not sold on the idea of what it would take player-wise and money-wise to give to a 41 or 42 year old pitcher. I've seen every side of the argument on the board already, so there's no need to rehash that for me - I'd rather they throw cash at someone a little younger, that's all. Polanco and Cabrera both do little to excite me - either would be a solid pickup, neither would make me want to buy more game tickets. EDITED TO ADD that I don't know enough about the Japanese kid to form an opinion, except to say that .275 in Japan doesn't really thrill me.

AnthraxFan93 Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 Critic, what I meant by the Kendall comment is, we were going to "overpay" for Kendall. They didn't want what we had. I would have loved Kendall on this team as well, just not for what we would have had to give up to get him. RJ.. I agree with you 100% Polcano/Cabrera.. I can see your point, but I just take look at players once they left Montreal and exceled. something OC should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you could very well be right about Cabrera - he did settle in nicely with the Red sox after a shaky beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Daisuke Matsuzaka Thats the name I mentioned in an article I wrote this past summer after talking with Bryant Nelson of the Knights. He said this guy was the next guy whom would be capable of coming over and having an Ichiro like effect. Said he was absolutely filthy. Only 24 and plays for one of the best teams in Japan.

CWSOX45 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Willie Harris CAN lead off for us man you people need to learn that some things take time and learning, insted of trying to overpay for someone.. Harris can do it, you gotta let the kid learn and grow.. he will be a better player this year I agree with you. I still have faith in Willie Harris. Each year his numbers have gone up, so I don't understand why everyone is all down on him. I don't see the point of going out and signing an unproven guy that will cost us money when we're not even close to being a contender for the playoffs. Like I've said in the past, we need another starter before anything, then worry about the lead-off position CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Polcano/Cabrera.. I can see your point, but I just take look at players once they left Montreal and exceled. something OC should do. Please show me numbers of players that excelled once they left montreal. I am about a sample size of fifty or so games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 One of these 2 guys would fit what this team needs.. HIGH OBS, and steal bases. play great D and ALso someone who can lead-off. Just wondering... Is OBS a new stat? Or are you talking about OBP? Or OPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Please so me numbers of players that excelled once they left montreal. I am about a sample size of fifty or so games. I'm also interested in that, too... Shouldn't a player excel regardless of where he plays, ala Vlad Guerrero? If a player is 'that' good, he should excel regardless of what situation he's in... Back to the article, no on Nishi, but Iguchi looks real interesting... Above average defense (which would probably translate to just average on natural grass), but what intrigues me most are his SB numbers, and his OBP (.438). He's definitely a guy I'd look at...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I agree with Man of Steel. Willie needs to be the starting 2B. We couldn't find anyone better defensively if we tried and he is still improving offensively. I would perfer if he was the #9 hitter though with AROW leading off. CF- Rowand SS- Uribe DH- Thomas LF- Lee 1B- Konerko RF- Everett 3B- Crede C- Davis/Burke 2B- Harris Pretty solid lineup from top to bottom.

Problem is while rowand did well in the lead-off spot last year do not expect him to do as well as last year. I am not saying he is gonna suck but i just doubt he keeps that average. He is more a 5-6 hitter on this team and could possibly hit third for several teams in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Well my dream lineup would have someone in RF/CF to lead off with Rowand in the Everett spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I think your rooting for the wrong team The Cubs motto is what till next year not the SOX Harris, had his chance and proved he can't hack it. No im pretty sure I know what team im rooting for... its the team that when Willie Harris was starting at 2B he was battin over .300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeckle, I like your thinking, but even you know Uribe cannot bat second... I personally like him in more of an RBI position, sixth or seventh. JMHO.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Well of course Uribe wouldn't bat 2B if we had a leadoff hitter in RF. Rowand would be the second hitter then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
