January 31, 200521 yr this coming from prolly the most hated poster on the site <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Was Washington Hated By the British.. Was Lincoln Hated By South...

With Sosa leaving town, you officially have the biggest ego in the Chicagoland Area.
January 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Nobody, I would see have the best man from our prospects come up and sit on the bench and fill in for some time, then DH paulie and have Gload play 1b. It might not be the best laid plan but come July time and beyond we have some money to spend and also prospects that can be used past 2006. Beck I do like the idea of having Carl on this team till Frank comes back, and we might get more for him.. I just don't want Carla on this team by AUgust Sept time, esp if we are out of it. Why the heck would you want to hinder the development of our prospects by sitting them on the bench?? Just doesn't make sense.

January 31, 200521 yr I would be very surprised if Everett doesn't get 450 at bats this year for the Sox. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If Carla gets that much, we are doomed... on the plus side if he does KW should get fired
January 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) If Carla gets that much, we are doomed... on the plus side if he does KW should get fired He will have a better year than podesednik. You will see.
January 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 03:59 PM) He will have a better year than podesednik. You will see. What do you mean by better year?? It's kind of hard to compare those two but if Scott gets on base at a .340 clip he's going to really help this team. Anyways I believe when Frank comes back Ozzie will keep the hot bat in the lineup he said as much at soxfest, if Carl is swinging the bat well I'm sure he'll find his way in the lineup.

I don't know what yet, but something tells me Pod will repeat last year and try to swing with the fences because there's shorter distances. He'll still steal bases, but I don't see Pod doing that hot.

Still love the low expectations for a lead-off hitter now a days. .340 obp for a lead-off hitter is garbage. I know, it is all his steals that make up for it right?

That is like comparing who will have a better year Crede or Feilds.. I don't think Frank gets replaced by Carla, Frank comes back healthy Carla is on a one way trip out of a Sox uni , and that my friends is a happy day in soxland.

The stolen bases help...yes, also some of the intangibles he brings plus the fact when he's on base he's going to score a lot of runs just because of his speed. Scott brings a lot to the table and not all of what he brings can be seen statistically.

Definitely not like comparing apples and oranges. They are both left fielders correct? Thought so. Everett will be better in every single stat but steals.

No where else.
January 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) What intangibles? He is not a very good fielder and is not that great of bunter. To be honest with you I don't recall his fielding ability very much, there seems to be different sets of opinions about his fielding though, I want to see him play the outfield before I make that judgement. He can bunt, maybe he's not the greatest bunter in the world but he can do it. He can also score from first on a double, him stealing bases obviously helps a great deal because a ton of times when he gets on he'll be in scoring position, knowing how to leadoff in general, making pitchers think about him when he's on base and not the batter, Scott brings a ton to the table, I know you're not a huge fan of him but I think you'll like him much more as the season goes on but that's jmo. EDIT: By the way I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one, I know where you stand and vice versa

If brewers fans do not like his fielding i do not like his fielding. They say he gets really really s***ty reads.
