April 9, 200322 yr Game just started and he's got an rbi, a walk, and a steal. Sigh.... He has had a great start to this season. I do think though that Jimenez will be just as good.
April 9, 200322 yr Author Correct that. Seems CNNSI has their heads in their collective asses. I don't know what's going on in that game.
April 9, 200322 yr Remember that a player's performance with one team does not translate to that same player's performance on another team. Just because Durham has been lights-out in San Francisco doesn't mean he'd do the same if he were playing here right now.

April 9, 200322 yr Just because Durham has been lights-out in San Francisco doesn't mean he'd do the same if he were playing here right now. Durham thought he was a power hitter when he was with the Sox. Maybe someone that can motivate a team to win (HINT, HINT) got through Durham's thick skull and explained to him that he should be a contact hitter.

Even though Ray thought he was something he wasn't.. he was still an effective lead off hitter and was a large part to this offence.

Just because Durham has been lights-out in San Francisco doesn't mean he'd do the same if he were playing here right now. He always played good with the Sox, therefor I believe he'd be doing the same here. He never sucked and I don't care what some people believe, he was one of the best leadoff hitters and second baseman the White Sox ever had and Jimenez is going to have a tough job replacing him. I believe he has the tools and ability to replace him, but whether he lives up to that who knows. It was one of the big reasons I wanted to bring him back this offseason. You knew Ray would put up a .355 or great OBP, steal bases and score 100 runs. We just got so used to it that so many people took it for granted thinking that everyone can do that and its not the case. The Sox were lucky to have such a great leadoff hitter. Yes, he could of been better, but he was damn good as is.
