June 3, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) ChicagoSportsReview Article It's pretty simple...he's not good.
June 3, 200520 yr He seems to be a good clutch hitter ..... and that's it. He's very slow and his fielding sucks.
June 3, 200520 yr I think this guy summed up Timo in his article... "Strengths: Speaks three languages. Weaknesses: Baseball."
June 3, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider17 @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) He seems to be a good clutch hitter ..... and that's it. He's very slow and his fielding sucks. Timo seems to be a good clutch hitter because he is put into key spots by our manager, who seemingly trusts him more than about 90 pct of our team. Before Monday's hit, Timo was having just a miserable season in clutch situations.
June 3, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) ChicagoSportsReview Article that was a good read though....summed up my sentiments exactly
June 3, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider17 @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) He seems to be a good clutch hitter ..... and that's it. He's very slow and his fielding sucks. he hit a lot of clutch hits last year it seems... this year besides the angels he hasnt been clutch at all... with that hit against the angels i think it makes him 1 out of 8 in pinch hit situations.
June 3, 200520 yr He handles routine plays like DeAngelo Jimenez. I hate the way he approaches the game.
June 3, 200520 yr Timo may be a team player, but given the picture he should be the odd man out. He’s the team’s sixth-best outfielder, the 15th-best hitter and the 23rd-best first baseman, give or take a couple of spots. I can usually come up with some sort of reasonable rationalization for every move made by Ozzie, even though some may be a stretch, but I can think of no reason whatsoever for the Sox keeping Perez on the roster. Attempting to rationalize such a non-move would involve going outside the realm of baseball, and all this board's remarks about gay lovers, secret tapes and other methods of blackmail are about the only things that would actually make sense.
June 3, 200520 yr He definitely has more trust in Timo than he has in Iguchi. Tadahito sits twice a week. I know he's a rookie, but he's also our best player.

Hell, Timo probably loved playing first base. Besides catcher, it's the only other position where you're allowed to use one hand catching the ball without drawing the ire of the fans. Timo acts like he's the s*** out on the field......but in reality, he's just s***.

That hit didn't come as a pinch hitter. he already had an at bat earlier.
June 3, 200520 yr It's fascinating reading all this venom for a fringe OF who has such a small role on the team. Personally I think the whole bench situation will be shuffled very soon.

June 3, 200520 yr Now with Frank back and Everett available as an extra OF, Timo really needs to be gone

For such a small role he has 61 AB's which is the most from a role player and has been in 28 games, 13 less than AJ. He has more K's than hits. Edited June 3, 200520 yr by southsideirish71
June 3, 200520 yr When Crede was ejected, Jermaine Dye and Cliff Politte volunteered to play short, with the duties going to Dye. Politte volunteered to play short?!?! I f***ing love this guy!
June 3, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) Politte volunteered to play short?!?! I f***ing love this guy! Who better than Angry Politte to start your double play.
