SoxFanForever Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Joe Crede-3B-White Sox Mar. 27 - 8:56 pm et Joe Crede left Thursday's game in the fifth inning after fouling a pitch off his left ankle. Crede finished the at-bat, but afterwards went to the clubhouse to ice the ankle. The training staff decided he should get a precautionary X-ray, although they don't expect any "serious revelations." As of now, Crede is scheduled to start at third base for the Sox. Source: WhiteSox.mlb.com Didn't see this posted. Doubt it is serious. However, it will be interesting to see if it has any effects on the final roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 probably just a big bruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 On CSN Sportsnite Guillen thought that it my be serious. It actually sounded a tad like wishful thinking on Ozzie's part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took Frowens getting hurt 3 different times before the Sox finally DL'ed him leading to both BA and Quentin on the team. Richar had visa , back and now rib problems which opened the door for Ramirez to make the team. Massett gets raked yesterday against the D'backs possibly handing Wasserman the last bullpen spot. Now a rusty Crede fouls a ball off his foot. Though probably nothing serious maybe fate was just feeling sorry for Joe figuring he'd been through enough lately while gently nudging the Sox towards Fields. Haven't seen it mentioned much at all in every thread I've read but it isn't unheard of for an established pro to be sent down on a rehab assignment due to rustiness coming back from an injury. Crede hasnt exactly hit or fielded well this spring. If the situation is win now like William's keep stating how do you keep a hurting ineffective Crede on the roster over Fields ? Seems to me like Kenny is preferring to get Joe's value up, which is an iffy proposition at best , more than winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, it happens quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. I just don't see why it hasn't been considered more in the zillions of posts I've read re: Crede/Fields. If the point of keeping Crede is his defense , he hasnt looked all that sharp , mostly his throws are off. Wins at the beginning of the season count just as much as wins at the end. Keeping a bad hitting bad fielding Joe can cost wins. Joe should be on a rehab assignment. Even if Crede does fairly well what's the most the Sox could get for him in trade ? A AA or AAA mediocre prospect ? Kenny's eventually going to have to bite the bullet with Joe . The only way he can save face is for another teams' 3rd baseman going down with an injury while Joe is heating up if that ever happens. Boras has got to be the happiest guy around knowing the Sox are doing him a favor by playing Joe.That way he can prove he's healthy and possibly prove he can still play too.

TheBigHurt Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Classy s*** doesn't happen much around here. Oh, it does. But about year after the classy s***, it turns into a total flip-flop. The "Crede hate" is so f*cking stupid it disgusts me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
