I see plenty of people on this board now like i was then. Only difference is they don't post as often.

I see plenty of people on this board now like i was then. Only difference is they don't post as often. I'll gladfully admit it. As numerous members have said before, it doesn't matter whether or not you post one word or several thousand. It's more of a friendly jab to point it out now. I'd estimate of my first 1,000 posts on Soxtalk, 70% were devoted to gameday threads. I recall several instances where I exceeded 100 posts in ONE day. However, during that time there was no active chat room. People legitimately looked to the thread for updates of the game's progress. Still, I had my share of post-whoring.
June 4, 200520 yr How f***ing lame can your life be that you troll a f***ing message board? I mean seriously. They banned you so you come back. They will ban you again and you will come back. What is the f***ing purpose?

June 4, 200520 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 12:48 AM) Maybe we should trade for Eric Chavez. What do the rest of you think? No thank you, i'll take a better hitter at 3B, like Huff

Huff only advantage right now is his price tag, just over $4,000,000. But Chavez has the gold gloves. Huff hasn't played 3b since last year and it still wasn't his main position. Both are coming off of stellar campaign the last couple years. It boils down to who you think will break out their funk.
June 4, 200520 yr Crede is NOT a GG 3B. Nor will he ever be a GG 3B. Crede might be the best 3B when it comes to fielding weak grounders that he can charge upon. He's good at scooping it up & firing a strike. But he is below average when it comes to a liner near the bag or in the gap. Even worse he is out of position 9 times out of 10 when it comes to receiving a throw at 3B. Some people think he's scared because he refuses to protect the bag. I just think he's stupid. When you sum it all up he's above average at best at 3B. If I were the opposing manager I would run hit & run plays & steal froms 2nd all the time. If he's not going to protect the bag then it's wide open for the opposition. Replacements: Crede is so piss-poor as a hitter right now that all other ML 3B are suitable. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/battin...in=17&ageMax=51 What I don't understand is why do we think guys who just recently signed new contracts are available? Chavez 66M/6, Lowell 32M/4. Crede is 6/61, Lowell is 8/36, Chavez is 10/50. In the minors ... http://minorleaguebaseball.com/app/milb/st...t=l_bat&lid=117 Trace C 31 yr old CHA .321O, .459S, .286A Slim pickings but maybe he can platoon with Ozuna while Crede figures it out in Charlotte.
June 4, 200520 yr I hope Crede sucks it up...Right now KW's gotta be flipping out with Joe. Maybe an 0-15 stretch pushes him over the edge. I'm tired of the Joe Crede era. Bring on someone else. Chavez, Randa, whatever...someone that isnt worthless.

So I'd refrain from posting every HR Joe hits as a "I told you so" type of post because it's going to take a little more than one HR for people to be shut up about Joe Crede.
June 5, 200520 yr Yep, I'd rather have a hit or two every game from Crede than 1 homer every few games and nothing else.

He's going to have to do a hell of a lot to get people on his side again.
June 5, 200520 yr I will happily eat a Joe Crede Crow pie if he turns around and has a decent season. I still dont trust him, but he has had a pretty good four game stretch here. Dye on the other hand, looks downright dangerous everytime he is up to bat now. Dead is definitely alive right now.

Crede may be stubborn and thick headed but he is not stupid. He has not played up to his abilities and probably should be replaced. Evaluating his play is one thing. Judging the man is another. Unless you know him personally stick to your beloved stats and stop with the dumb-ass judgmental comments.
