Whitewashed in '05 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I am bored and we need something to talk about until the game so I decided to make a thread about AJ, Crede, and Rowand. We all want AJ back and we know that he most likely will. He has done a great thing with our pitching staff and his attitude around the clubhouse is as good as it gets. From the minute I found out we signed him I knew he would be a huge plus. I just love his attitude, he does ANYTHING to try to win. That's why KW signed him. I don't care what all the experts say about him and his controversy...(cough cough Joe Buck.) This guy wants to win and I love his emotion out on the field. He really has become my favorite player. Then Aaron Rowand, we all knew he has GG defense before the big stage and now he's getting noticed. His hard nosed play also brings a lot to this team. In Boston when he hit the wall trying to catch Graffys double (I think) I couldn't believe his effort. I knew he always gives it his all, but man that really shows he wants every ball hit out to him. I don't believe any of the speculation that he could be traded. He signed a three year deal at a bargain for what he gives us. Then Joe Crede, everyone wanted him gone this offseason, but he has come up big for us lately and we all hope he can play like he is capable of from here on out. We all knew he is a GG type 3rd baseman, but he just wasn't getting it done offensively. Someone wrote an article about him coming out of his shell this season and a lot of it has to do with AJ and Rowand. These 3 guys together are great. I guess the point of this thread is that we have a lot of good players pursuing one goal. We might not have a lot of stars like other teams have that you know will compete for the playoffs every year but I know what we have is capable of doing that. These 3 guys have come up big for us this season no matter what the numbers are (which are decent) and I think all 3 next year will step it up even more. Anyone who wants to toss in some ideas is welcome as it is a little dead here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DePloderer Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 As Gestalt psychology states, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" This sums up this team and is truely what makes our recent successes all the more sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddy Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) whats amazing is that i honestly believe that we should not make a SINGLE move this offseason. if frank comes back and can fill in in the 3 hole we have nothing else wrong with this team. why tinker with this machine? 9-1 in the postseason? i'd say that works.

I agree with you, but whenever I say it, I get called a major homer and that I should look past the White Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
