YASNY Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 From the Sun Times: Manager Ozzie Guillen said he started Harris over Iguchi because he doesn't want to burn out his regular second baseman and wanted to get his backup some at-bats. But Iguchi has been dealing with tightness in his upper back for about 10 days. It had gotten to the point where he could not swing at full power Monday, and he went 0-for-5 with a walk and two strikeouts. On the flight to Denver, Iguchi had to lie down across a row of three seats, and he still felt uncomfortable. This could hurt us. Big time.

DBAHO Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Not good, not good at all. At least we've got a capable backup in Willie Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndplsSoxFan Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 On a similar note, Gload re-aggravated his shoulder & is expected to be in AAA longer for rehab. Willie will be staying with the team regardless. If Gload was ready to be called up, I think that Timo would be the odd man out since Iguchi's back is bothering him.

Wedge Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Any chance Iguchi goes to the DL? Who takes the #2 spot while Iguichi is out, Willie or Uribe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't get the memo...he's gonna start at 2B tonight. Seriously though, I'm not worrierd. MVP (Wee Willie) is gonna come in and kick some butt at 2nd base if Iguchi has to miss any extended time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABearSoX Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 "Tightness" doesnt sound that bad......he was still ready to play on Monday, so i could see him taking a few more says off but it doesnt seem that bad.....just needs a little Ben Gay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 If Iguchi goes down, you might get a surprise call up. We need someone who can play 1B, so my guess would be the Greatest, Greg Norton. It also helps that he plays 3B too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooch going down could really hurt us. He is the perfect #2 hitter. Takes pitches, goes the other way, makes good contact. Nowhere in those statements is Juan Uribe' approach at the plate.

Soxfest Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 ALL Timo Perez does is strike out every time up. He can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Well...I actually consider this to be slightly good news...I was really starting to worry about Iguchi's swing, his BA has dropped like 30 points in the last 10 days or so, and he went 0-5 on Monday, which is just not the Iguchi we saw earlier this year. If there's a physical reason why he's struggling, at least with a little bit of rest, hopefully he'll snap out of it. Time to give Willie another game at 2b tonight, with the off day tomorrow that gives Gooch 3 days off in a row, and hopefully that'll do the job. If not, well, maybe make it 4, but I want him in there against the Padres. And yes, this proves once again why Timo's roster spot should go to Gload whenever Gload is healthy enough to play 1b.

It just seems so obvious who should be the odd man out, once Gload is back there will no longer be a need for Timo's gold glove at 1st, RF, LF or CF. If he is still around and they pick Willie or someone else to go down, then I will be convinced that Timo has nude pictures of KW and Ozzie.

GoodAsGould Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 This is where a guy like Willie really becomes useful..... I think he can get it done and at the worse we get some awesome defense at 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
