BearSox Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) I like it when AJ homers. Sox have offense for sure. I like it when A.J. decides not to pull everything and hits for average instead of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 i don't see how we can be expected to win any games this year with toby hall playing, it's that simple really, he's garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hall still playing pretty badly, and MacDougal should still be demoted to allow for Wassermann and Masset to be in the pen. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of playing badly this spring, Orlando Cabrera has been awful, I heard on the telecast the other day that he's waiting for opening day to turn it on. I don't think its that easy.

I don't think its that easy. He hasn't been awful in the games I've watched, but he hasn't been exactly impressive either. I don't know his playing that well though - maybe he's a guy who starts slow. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well I think you have to give the benefit of the doubt for a veteran at least in that situation over a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Simple as this: MacDougal, Hall and Crede should not be on the opening day roster but the Sox feel the need to keep them. They will lose us games, Hall especially with no bat and no arm. Mac comes in and always gives us baserunners and runs and Crede pops up in the infield more than anyone else.

I'm just looking at the box score, but only 1 of the runs off MacDougal today was earned. Errors by Hall, Cabrera and Konerko. Hall was arguably in the top 2 or 3 for worst player in the major leagues last year, and apparently has only regressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Toby has the bat maybe, but I am not convinced he can provide the defense. I wonder if the shoulder injury is still bothering him? He has a lot of upside, but I dont think he is back to form yet with about a year off due to injury. Is the jury still out on him?

Â Though I usually agree with you're posts maggsmaggs I'm curious to know as to how Crede's going to LOSE us games?? He's no A-Rod or Miggy with his stick obviously but if he anything his leather will SAVE us some games. Some people take for granted his glove work at 3rd sometimes and it pisses me off....
