The Ginger Kid Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 QUOTE (BearSox @ May 13, 2009 -> 07:26 PM) Fail on two accounts: 1. Sizemore is proven to be 10x the player Josh will ever be. 2. I never said K's were the reason he's a bust. K's factor in, but in today's game, you gotta look past K's a lot of times. Also, they are both at 39. sorry, i didn't read your post, just the title of the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he wore #22 he played a lot like Scott Podsednik. He now wears #7 and he's producing like Jerry f***ing Owens. I miss the #22 approach...

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Fields started well, the league pitchers adjusted to him a bit, and he is struggling. He has also started to change his swing and approach a bit the last couple games, in case no one noticed. He actually looks worse in the meantime, but, he is indeed trying to adjust. Its waaaaaaaay to early to call him a bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Joe Crede is working his magic in Twinkie land while Fields is plowed under MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire tried to find the words to describe what he had just witnessed on Wednesday night. And well, forgive him if he couldn't exactly come up with a way to summarize the Twins' 14-10 walk-off victory over the Tigers that ended after four hours and 48 minutes with Joe Crede's two-out pinch-hit grand slam in the 13th inning.

Crede's offensive numbers are really not much to write home about so far. Aside from that, is this really necessary?

SoxFan562004 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 the thing that has frustrated me the most is he is now just attempting to pull EVERYTHING. The HR in Baltimore should have been a good sign for his future. Maybe he won't be a great pull hitter, but he can hit it over 400 feet to right center, so he should have an approach where he's trying to take it all over the field. Apparently that approach doesn't fly on this team and now he's trying to yank everything with a ridiculously long swing that is starting at a blatant hand drop in his setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Well since it was brought up, here is the latest... http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/2009/05..._fields_vs.html AL Central Watch: In Fields vs. Crede, Twins got quite the catch By Chris De Luca on May 14, 2009 10:26 AM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0) Here's a quick glance at what's happening around the American League Central. Balky back and all, the Twins are absolutely thrilled to call Joe Crede their own. The former White Sox third baseman who was so huge during the 2005 postseason -- and who feasted on Minnesota pitching last season -- is on a roll after a slow start, putting up 15 hits, 10 RBI and four home runs in his last 12 games. This might be tough for White Sox fans to stomach, but here is what Crede said about his Twins teammates after his grand slam ended a 13-inning marathon against the Tigers: "These guys have been great so far this year. It's going to be fun to see what this team can do.'' It's worth noting that after a hot start, Crede's replacement on the South Side -- Josh Fields -- has hit a dip, going hitless in his last nine at-bats. Fields, 26, was hitting .306 on April 17, but his average has dropped to .235 and he has just two home runs and 12 RBI in 30 games. Crede, 31, is hitting .237, and has five home runs and 13 RBI in 25 games. Manager Ozzie Guillen warned us not to expect Crede-like defense from Fields. So this shouldn't come as a surprise: Crede has one error and a .985 fielding percentage -- tops among AL third basemen; Fields has five errors and a .943 percentage -- only the Mariners' Adrian Beltre, with seven errors and a .929 fielding percentage, has worse numbers among AL third basemen. The Twins got Crede -- coming off an All-Star season for a relative steal, thanks to that bad back, signing him to a one-year, $2.5 million contract that includes $4.5 million in performance bonuses. Fields is earning $410,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2009 -> 11:51 AM) Well since it was brought up, here is the latest... http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/2009/05..._fields_vs.html so basically he waited to write this article when Fields was struggling and Crede is on a hot streak? I honestly think there must be research that Sox fans will listen/read negative news and Cubs fans will only listen to positive news, because that's what sports radio and the papers do in this town. Again, best of luck to Joe, but his back was a huge question mark and the Twins and he can have the biggest lovefest they want, but if he holds up Boras will have him out of there so fast after this year.

Maybe he won't be a great pull hitter, but he can hit it over 400 feet to right center, so he should have an approach where he's trying to take it all over the field. Apparently that approach doesn't fly on this team and now he's trying to yank everything with a ridiculously long swing that is starting at a blatant hand drop in his setup I don't think that is what is happening. I think he handles offspeed stuff well, fastballs if they are low and/or out and not too fast. So they started giving him a combo of high heat and breakers outside his swing plane. His adjustment, at first, was to try to swing harder to catch up to the inner half / up heat, but that makes it worse, AND it looks like he is trying to hit the left field foul pole. Its that pre-swing bat load that is killing him, mostly. I've seen him tinker with it the last few games, to no avail yet. This is where Walker could be of help, and hopefully is.
