Bighurt52235 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I really think this guy could help out the Sox by playing centerfield. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 He will fit right in with this bunch of underachievers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 He's a solid talent. Don't know what he's done lately. He was way overpaid by the Brewers, but if all they have to do is pay him the minimum with the Brew crew picking up the rest of the tab, then I say go for it.

SoxFan1 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I like Jeffrey Hammonds. He has good power and is a decent fielder. He would be a good pick-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 He had one solid year with the Rockies, then went off to greener pastures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I like Jeffrey Hammonds. He has good power and is a decent fielder. He would be a good pick-up. Bingo. The guy was a one year wonder. If we are looking at Brewers rejects, we should just stick with either Rowand or Borchard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 He had one solid year with the Rockies, then went off to greener pastures. You mean a guy went to Colorado for a season, had great numbers, then got paid an extraordinary amount of money by some sucker team? Nooooooooooooooooo.

aboz56 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 We need someone who is going to help us consistently, so we don't need Hammonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxplosion Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I like him but with Borchard up and coming we dont really need anyone to play center. Unless we just sign him for the rest of this year and let JB take over next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I like Jeffrey Hammonds. He has good power and is a decent fielder. He would be a good pick-up. We do NOT need another power hitter  These idiots keep swinging for the fences with no sense of putting bat on ball in clutch situations  Again today we have Olivo on 2nd with 1 out and he does not even advance to 3rd thanks to our pathetic power hitters  Again today, we have man on 2nd and 3rd in the only inning we looked like a threat on O, and we could not score with Crede playing like crap  All those who thought getting Kenny Lofton here would not help can bite me  We need a f***ing left handed leadoff man who can play C field with speed BADLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the team rep last year at the meetings and took a different stance on the issue then the majority of the Sox players did. In other words, he pissed a bunch of them off.  Lofton is s***ty in CF defensively, and if he got in a funk like he did last year and was a little b**** about it and didn't take BP and never got out of his slump until he was traded to a team that is in playoff contention, much like last year...what does that make us look like? I'll tell you....it makes us look like a bunch of dumbf***s. I'll make a comparison for you.  We are a fish....and we bite the bait of Kenny Lofton once, and we get caught and made into b****ed. We are then let off the hook by the Giants. We then bite the bait that is Kenny Lofton once again....and he is a bust. We'd bite the same bait twice, and we'd look like idiots for doing it again.  I have to ask....have you ever touched a hot stove intentionally, just to see what it was like? If so, and I'm assuming you did, did you ever do it again? My point exactly.  Kenny Lofton is no. I blame that peckerhead for a lot of what went wrong last year. I do not like him as a player, and I sure as hell don't want him back on the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 im thinking NO...... we have enough underachievers now .. we dont need another one......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 This team needs a CF that can actually play defense. When a hard hit ground ball up the middle rolls to the wall for a double, wea re in bad shape. If we didn't have four guys hitting like they have never played the game before I would agree he is useless but we have nothiing to lose. Joe Borchard is not a centerfielder neitehr is harris. If we are going to take this mindset, put Konerko at third. We need to do soemthing to change the make-up of this team. If I hear about f'ing chemistry again I am going to puke we sucka nd need something. Â Trade Colon and Konerko for Nick Johnson and Weaver, f***, do soemthing. Who si running this circus anyway, I have faith but it is waning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 This could be getting more interesting. This is from SI's Ken Rosenthal  Outfielder Jeffrey Hammonds, released by the Brewers, could resurface with the Expos as a replacement for injured right fielder Vladimir Guerrero.  Hammonds is close with Expos manager Frank Robinson, who was the Orioles' assistant GM when the selected Hammonds with the fourth pick of the 1992 draft -- two places ahead of Derek Jeter.  The White Sox, unsettled in center field, also have expressed interest in Hammonds. ...

rafacosta Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 He certainly would hit much better than Rowand and Harris together. And he wouldnt cost nothing to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Don't know enough about Hammonds to make a decision, but I am going to check his stats. Reading some of the posts though on trade pleas makes me wonder why we value our own people so poorly. It's lke give up the entire team to get some reject from another team. I guess frustration makes you think that way, but let's reign it in some... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastime Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hammonds will always be a disappointment, IMO. Â When he came up in 1994 or 1995, he had a .303 average with 5 HR, 5 SB, and like 17 RBI's in just 100 ab's with the Orioles. He was "major league ready." Then the injuries came .... and they came .... and they came. Â Now he's just bouncing around from team to team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I viewed the stats. He showed some power and hit for a high average in Colorado, but doesn't show any consistency. Maybe a 4th outfielder? But we already have a couple guys doing that for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 No interest in Hammonds. Very inconsistent and he's a human Hospital. No thanks, I'd go with Rowand over Hammonds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox247 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I dont know much about this guy, but if its true that he swings for the fences everytime, then I'll pass. Agreed that we've got more of those hitters than we can handle right now, and those kind of players will cost us more games than necessary.

That is like me comparing my softball #'s to major leaguers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
