March 31, 200521 yr Latest News Mar. 30, 2005 - 8:33 pm et Joe Crede went 4-for-4 with a home run in today's victory. Crede's average is up to .271. Sure, eight of his 16 hits have come in two games, but consistency is so overrated. :headshake Edited March 31, 200521 yr by Jabroni
March 31, 200521 yr I have a feeling that Crede is gonna surprise a lot of us this season...hes gonna be better then a lot of us think
March 31, 200521 yr If there was an award given for creating useless threads or threads that could have been incorporated elsewhere, you would win...hands down.

March 31, 200521 yr For all I know almost everyone here has me on ignore. If Crede can hit somewhere in the vicinity on .271 with a little power, then I'll definitely take it.
March 31, 200521 yr Rotoworld has a new fan huh qwerty. Hopefully Crede is starting to get used to his new swing a little better now, I'll gladly take .270, 20 HR's, 70-80 RBI's for him for the season. Whether he can hit for that high of a batting average though, I don't know.
March 31, 200521 yr Personally I like the snippets by ya Jabroni. When I'm busy I can only browse and the articles are helpful, especially since you quote just the important parts of them.

We need more objective people such as yourself on the board...
March 31, 200521 yr I'm a Crede backer and have been for a while. I'm hoping Joe can pull through and I kind of think he's gonna be a large part in why the Sox offense shocks a lot of people and once again is a top 7 offense in baseball.

When he first got here I was hoping he'd be the second coming of Robin Ventura. I think he's got the potential but he really needs to show some people something this season.
March 31, 200521 yr Like its been said the over and over again... Crede needs to RELAX and do what got him to this level. Don't be so hard on himself. He has a great work ethic and plays some damn fine defense. I would hate to give up on him but he really needs to break through this season....

This is his make or break year and if things work out for him, he could definately be a special player, but thats going to have to start this year. I'm talking .265, 20-25, 80 RBI. He's more than capable of it.
March 31, 200521 yr I wonder what he's been hitting in the last week or so. Maybe the first half of spring Joe needed to get the kinks out of his new swing. Yet he certainly has caught fire at the right time. Let's hope he continues it long into the season. Having him hit .270-.280 down in the order with the power he has, would help this offense tremendously

March 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(Jabroni @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) Hell, I'd settle for his power numbers from last season and a .265 average like Chisoxfn said. Hitting that in the 8th spot, would make this offense pretty solid from top to bottom. Esp. with the guys in front of him on base a lot [AJ-7th, Rowand-6th]. Two .300 hitters batting in front of Joe will give him a lot of RBI chances.
March 31, 200521 yr I'm glad to hear his average is up to .270...but he has to be consistent. As was mentinoned, with guys like AJ and AROW in front of him, he could put up some great numbers. Get it done Joe!
March 31, 200521 yr Walker was on ESPN yesterday, talking about how we should look at Crede's last 15 at-bats to get a grasp on what how offseason prep has worked out. he said that his first 20 he was trying to work out his new mechanics.

I hope he's right. Or He Gone! and then your 2006 third sacker...Josh Fields!
March 31, 200521 yr Crede could be on a shorter leash this year, especially if they feel good putting Ozuna at third at times and he continues swinging a hot bat.
March 31, 200521 yr It's funny how on a team thats supposed to be build around speed and defense that our most speedy guy (Harris) and some of our best defensive players (Crede and Harris) seem to be on a short leash. In today's game lack of offensive production at any position gets you benched. Someone like Mark Belanger ( a light hitting, great fielding shortstop of the Orioles great teams of the late 60's to mid 70's) would never make it in today's era of smash mouth baseball. Fan's dig the homerun , no doubt about it. If u you need proof read yesterday game thread. There was plenty of talk about all the home runs but when Az. was hitting nary a word was said about Adkins pitching or his final line for the day ( 5 innings only 1 hit allowed). We would all love having great defense combined with great ofense all rolled up in every player at every position but that just aint gonna happen.

I was thinking the same thing last night, I think we will see alot of Uribe or Ozuna at third and the other at short. I actually wouldnt mind that lineup, it has alot of speed potential.
