Josh is pretty small, right? MinorLeagueBaseball had him listed at 6"1, but I didn't buy that.

 

Anyways -- have the Sox ever thought about moving him to second? His arm strength might be wasted there, but it'd put less pressure on the Sox to resign Iguchi. And his bat could make him one of the better 2nd-baggers in all of baseball.

 

Or is that impractacle?

 

I've thought about it. He has athleticism, but I have no idea if he could.

Crede will go because of Boras + his back. It's the right decision. A no-brainer.

We'd have no one else if we didn't bring Fields up at third.

So what you're saying is...you wish he'd grind...more...?

 

I've been unimpressed by his hustle.

I'll say that's Gage's work

Technically it's correct, to the British

If he hits like this all season and Ozzie gets him those at bats he should be committed.

 

It's just scary reading Ozzie's quotes about Erstad.

I've been unimpressed by his hustle.

 

Aren't you the same guy who b****es that nobody runs down the line for the Sox hard?

 

His hustle is the only thing he does particularly well besides D.

Appreciate it.

Jerry Owens won't be a starter in the majors. At best, he's a 5th outfielder. I was told last week that Fields will be a 3B for the Sox during his career....I took that to mean Crede is gone after this year or next.

 

I still think Owens is a better option than Erstad at this point. I think you underestimate him, I think he'll be a fourth outfielder with a chance to be a starter.

Fields is really going to strike out a lot when and if he becomes a regular in the major leagues. I still don't think he'll be any good, but KW said last year he'll be an All Star.

"We apologise for any inconvenience"

 

Deploderer must've wrote the message.

 

the Server ate up my post, but I'm betting Guillen judges rookies on a tough scale just because he won the ROY.

 

Someone should point out to Guillen in 1985 he had a .291 OBP and .358 SLg

In 2006 Brian Anderson had a .290 OBP and .359 SLG.

 

Funny how that all works out.

Yeah, but you have to account for inflation. So a .291 OBP in 1985 is at least a .750 OBP today.

I'm thinking about a free agent in 2008-2009 (maybe it's a year later) who has certain connections to Ozzie... That's why I brought it up.

I see Gload still uses the techniques in left that Pods taught him.

Ozzie laughs at all of us from the dugout. Gload and Pods could be a great corner combo.

Who wanted Gload to be the starting left fielder??

That's why the Sox didn't want Gload in the outfield.

I love him, and I would've given him a shot, but it wasn't an indefensible act by the Sox at all.

Haha...that was a dangerous play.

Gload almost snapped his leg in half.

Before BA I'm remembering how we needed Gload in the line up.

...and that's why Gload is where he is. He can make those plays for the Royals, not for the White Sox.

Fields is really going to strike out a lot when and if he becomes a regular in the major leagues. I still don't think he'll be any good, but KW said last year he'll be an All Star.

 

 

We need to start drafting baseball players. Not football players who also play baseball.

Where's our gload??

I saw Gload drop 2 flyballs in a week. That's all I had to see.

His hustle this year has been poor. In his limited time, he seems almost too relaxed out there. I hate to break it to Brian, but he's never going to get a lot of playing time unless he plays well.

Be a hero, Joe.

 

Use your inner Crede.
