June 17, 200520 yr QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 06:01 PM) That's because he didn't know if he wanted to play baseball or hockey I think it was. So we drafted him and he didn't want to sign and he didn't play a year at all because he didn't know what he wanted to decide yet until the following year when he put his name back in the draft. It's not like the White Sox dropped the ball on him, he simply didn't have a clear cut decision of what he wanted to do when we drafted him. O okay, I just assumed that they didn't sign him.
June 17, 200520 yr Author Man, if we had Gagne........Id be a happy man. Actually, right now, Howry is healthier than Gagne!
June 17, 200520 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) Man, if we had Gagne........Id be a happy man. Actually, right now, Howry is healthier than Gagne! Right now he is, just imagine what it would have been like to see Gange come close games out for us. That would kick some serious ass.

That would kick some serious ass. We never would have went through the Koch debacle. If we substitue all of Koch;s blwn saves into wins via Gagne, we woulda won the division the last 2 years.

June 17, 200520 yr Possibly more than just a division, but we can't do anything about it now. But if i had a time machine.....

June 17, 200520 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) Kip Wells, Sean Lowe, and Josh Fogg for Todd Ritchie.....oh wait. We traded that much for that sack of crap?

June 17, 200520 yr QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) His power would be nice. Not the 48/13 K/BB ratio though.

He's a SS with power who can hit well and take a pitch. I'd still do it. 9) NO! 10) Who suggested that? 11) When healthy, he's one of the top OFs in the game. We're looking smart now, but unfortunately I think Detroit is going to get the last laugh on this one. 12) If he wanted anything more than $1 million, not worth it IMO.

June 17, 200520 yr I don't think anyone is going to trade for him, I think he'll actually come back and continue his (to this point) stellar career. He may have walked on us and I still dislike him for that, but I can't forget what he did all those years for the Sox. Edited June 17, 200520 yr by Dam8610
June 17, 200520 yr Since Ozzie responded with his rant, where he said something about "He's f***ing with the wrong guy." which in my opinion was a veiled threat, Maggs has been very quiet. We'll see if it continues when we hook up with the Kitties again.

June 17, 200520 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) He has about 1 HR in 135 AB's at Comerica IIRC. 35 total hits in 141 ABs in Comerica....and 1 HR to be exact
June 17, 200520 yr Wow, that's bad, but I still think Maggs could continue to be a great player if he ever recovers from his injury.
June 17, 200520 yr And actually, after some more studying up... Of every stadium that Maggs has had at least 100 ABs in, his average at Comerica Park ranks 2nd worst, only to Network Associates (where all of our hitters have sucked). Comerica career BA: .248
