February 21, 200620 yr QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 02:29 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-w...ov=ap&type=lgns ^^ good move. He's a smart guy.
February 21, 200620 yr Good. Let's get the Sox involvement down to 0 players. The real prize is not some meaningless tournament.
February 21, 200620 yr QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 03:48 PM) I thought he opted not to a long time ago.. I thought that, too. To my knowledge, Garcia and Vazquez were the only two competing on the Sox.
February 21, 200620 yr It says he declined last month. His offense? How about learning to get out of the way of sliding baserunners at 2nd?....or how about showing us some if that speed he supposedly had?
February 21, 200620 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 03:52 PM) I beleive Javier Lopez is also going, and the last name is escaping me, but I am almost positive I heard 4 names from the Sox are going. Well, two guys that count . Not to detract from Javier Lopez and whoever the other guy is, but we know that Freddy and Vazquez will be contributing to the team. I'm not as bothered by a reliever going as I am for a starter (especially when the reliever might not even make the team).
February 21, 200620 yr QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 03:38 PM) Damn. I would of liked to see him play. There's a neat little thing called spring training, and 162 games of regular season you should be more worried about.

February 21, 200620 yr Damn, that says Uribe is playing. I'd much rather him come to ST and work on being in the #2 slot. Damn WBC. Yay for 5,000.
February 21, 200620 yr I realize he has the potential to be better, but honestly, if all Iguchi does is duplicate last years performance, I'll be happy.

Uribe is the only positional player still playing in the WBC. I just like the fact that the Sox had several positional players how up to ST early. The only plus for Uribe is that he has played Winter Ball and batted in the 2 slot. Edited February 21, 200620 yr by RME JICO
February 21, 200620 yr The final rosters are not due until March 2. He's on the provisional roster right now, and all those players are the ones listed. He might not make the final team. The Dominicans need a catcher, and another OF to round out the lineup. This is the potential they have right now: 1B: Pujols 2B: Soriano SS: Tejada 3B: Aramis Ramirez/Beltre DH: Big Papi OF: Manny Ramirez OF: Vlad Pitchers: Colon and Martinez Edited February 21, 200620 yr by Cuck the Fubs
February 21, 200620 yr QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 01:25 PM) Pitchers: Colon and Martinez There are severe doubts about both of their abilities to compete, probably more so with Pedro, who's experiencing pain in 1 of his feet I believe. Colon still sounds like he'll pitch, but the Angels arent' happy about it given his injury at the end of last year.
February 21, 200620 yr Glad to hear that. Sounds like a true team player and wants to get even better.
February 21, 200620 yr QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) ^^ If those are the dominicanas then they are gonna win this thing The Dominicans don't necessarily have the pitching to hang with some of the other teams, most obviously the U.S.
February 21, 200620 yr QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 01:14 PM) Damn, that says Uribe is playing. I'd much rather him come to ST and work on being in the #2 slot. Damn WBC. Yay for 5,000. I don't care as much about hitters going. I care about the pitchers going.

I don't blame him either.

But his speed sure isn't as good as advertised when the Sox signed him.

February 22, 200620 yr Author I hope tad had a big season. He deserves it after giving up so many ab's last year.
