Well, Boras did recently say he has talked to Crede na Joe is ready to go in 2011 and wants to play. He is suppose to be healthy too. With that said we already have a Joe Crede on the team and his name is Brent Morel, just whole lotta younger!

 

Crede says the exact same thing every year.

He's not a bad baseball player, just injury plagued since 2006

 

And that injury has turned him into a bad baseball player.

check out crede's stats last year.

Which stats? 0 games played? I think Crede will be lucky to get a minor league deal--more likely he will get an ST invite somewhere.

By that, of course, I mean Dallas McPherson.

Somehow I missed this signing. I predicted it during an A's gamethread--I'm just glad that they don't have to seriously consider him as part of some DH committee.

I wonder...

 

If Morel is a doubles machine in Spring Training, would they consider him as the #2 hitter?

Maybe at some point. But I doubt they'd throw him in the fire like that. He's also not very patient, so I don't know if he's the best fit.

He's as patient as Ramirez and Beckham (not very.)

Do the Cubs have a Ron Santo suggestion thread every offseason?

Maybe Crede will become the Grant Hill of baseball... If not, I'm guessing Omar will play about a 90 games at third this year.

CREDE!!!!!!!!!!

CREDE!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nice, I moved to Denver recently. It would be great to see Crede at Coors!

Crede on a minor league deal? No risk at all there. The bat is a tad above replacement level and defense still plus when healthy.

You guys beat me to it! The LEGEND lives on!

Wish him nothing but the best.

There is no way he remains healthy enough to contribute for a full season or sees enough playing time to make a real impact.

And you're probably 99 correct. But at least with a guy like Crede, who has a semi-proven pedigree, you can see some upside, no matter how small, on a minor league deal. It's not like thinking Phillip Humber has a chance to catch lightening in a bottle.

I saw him at Coors in 2005 when the Sox played the Rockies. Joe hit a two run homer in the top of the ninth that brought the Big Hurt up to PH. Frank followed with a homer to dead center. Greatest Sox thrill I have had was to see Thomas hit that homer

You don't know that and that argumetn could just as well be made with Peavy

Unless you listen to "Doctors" who have said that Peavy should be ready to go at some point this season and who have said that Crede's back issues are the sort of thing from which you never really recover.

that list of injuries in one year is pretty crazy! Good Luck Joe!

There is a big difference between a chronic injury and a freak one.

Classy post Rowand. I wish him well, as well.

That would be cool if he truly is recovered like his unpopular agent says.
