June 30, 201015 yr The website started on 2002. 2002: Most of the starting staff 2003: Billy Koch 2004: Timo Perez 2005: Timo Perez 2006: Brian Anderson 2007: Take your pick 2008: Nick Swisher 2009: DeWayne Wise 2010: Mark Kotsay There's always got to be one guy. Year to year, who is yours?
June 30, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) Scott Podsednik gets no love? If anything, he's been over-loved.
June 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) Scott Podsednik gets no love? He has to be the historical leader
June 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) If anything, he's been over-loved. Other than the early season cock-stroking by a few members of the board, I'd say Podsednik has hardly been "over-loved."
June 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) for 2005 i would have gone with Marte Or Vizcaino. You don't earn a nickname like jizzcaino from a fan base that embraces your presence.

June 30, 201015 yr Id have to take Brian Anderson off your list because he didnt really play that much and he had a lot of people who were big fans as well. Id also take out Koch because unlike the others on the list he would always admit he sucked which took off some of the hate. Erstad definitely for 07.
June 30, 201015 yr Author Yes but there's nothing like seeing Timo in the lineup, batting 3rd and playing 1st base to get you all warm and fuzzy.
June 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) 2010: Mark Kotsay Teahen gives Kotsay a run for his money.
June 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) Teahen gives Kotsay a run for his money. It's not even close, the only way Teahen would have a shot is if Kotsay gets cut in the near future.
June 30, 201015 yr I know you said 2007 you said take your pick-- I definitely say Andy Gonzalez and his .864 fielding% at 3B. 9 errors in 66 chances? *shudder*
June 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:51 PM) I know you said 2007 you said take your pick-- I definitely say Andy Gonzalez and his .864 fielding% at 3B. 9 errors in 66 chances? *shudder* He had a -11.2 UZR fielding the ball that year. He was also worth -2.2 wins.
June 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) If anything, he's been over-loved. I over-loved the s*** out of Pods.
June 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:24 AM) 2008- Juan Uribe Not after Crede got hurt. Uribe got a lot of love for that turn around and his great play at 3b. I was sad to see him go after realizing his versatility, but not that sad.
June 30, 201015 yr My opinions of the whipping boys you stated. ... 2002: Most of the starting staff: I can't remember those guys. 2003: Billy Koch: He deserved all criticism. Total hack. 2004: Timo Perez: I didn't get worked up over such a non factor. 2005: Timo Perez: See above. 2006: Brian Anderson: He was such a bad hitter it was sad more than mad. 2007: Take your pick 2008: Nick Swisher: I despised him. he sucked as a Sox. 2009: DeWayne Wise: I worshiped him. 2010: Mark Kotsay: Don't like him a bit. I thought Garland took a lot of heat on here. Also, Pods, Bobby Jenks, Liney (deservedly so) and Randy Williams (deservedly so). Erstad also was horrible and deserved the criticism but he also was so bad you almost felt sad for him.
June 30, 201015 yr you know, were'nt people more pissed at ozzie in 2006 for playing mack in CF? I probably could misremember a lot of posts from 4 years ago, but it's like hating...i guess vizquel...they were great if you played them as the super utility bench guy, but not when you play them every day, especially mack in his worst position probably, you expose why they are utility guys. SOXTALK OVERLOVED GUYS: SEE ROSS GLOAD
