sox-r-us Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 This guy made an unbelievable play in the 1st with the catch with a man on 2nd base And then his base running got us the run when CLee got a lucky hit In general, Robbie has been very good for us. I wish he would get his power back but I think he has lost that HR hitting power of his for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish he would get his power back but I think he has lost that HR hitting power of his for good. We don't need Robbie to hit hr's. I think he's been a very fine addition to this ballclub. He's hittin around .300 since the trade has a solid obp and has played a tremendous 2nd base...And also he's one of the few guys on the team that can lay down a bunt...I guess it's true that Alomar gets disintrested when he's not in a situation where he can win...

BridgeportHeather Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 It's ok. We don't need home runs. All we need is for him to consistently get on base, bat guys over, and field his position well. He seems to be doing all three, so I'm very happy with this trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I agree. Robbie has been a great pickup for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Yeah at least D'Angelo could hit HRs once in a while. Why did we trade him again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I don't know. he was a cancer in the clubhouse and a bonehead between the lines. But other than that, he was great. I don't understand why he's gone either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafacosta Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Robbie Alomar is hitting above .300 for us, great defense, a huge experience(2 world series), great character, gets on base, plays fundamental baseball...he is worthing much more than most guys in the time of the trade thought.

danman31 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Robbie Alomar worth the trade Duh. It doesn't take an idiot to figure this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 The only things Robbie has to do is get on base, and make plays. If he does that, he is already one up on Jimenez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 No question, Robbie is an upgrade at second base, particularly on defense. But it doesn't make sense to compare him to the departed Jiminez, because I believe that Harris would have been getting most of the action at second had we not acquired Alomar. Jiminez was already toast. If Robbie can continue hitting .290 or so, he will get some offers next year, particularly from us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 IF Andrew Salvo. The deal was definitely worth the trade! Look at the Sox record since Robbie and Carl joined! Hes getting on base (.390 OBP) and he is playing great defense. When he gets on base, he really forces the issues. He's 3-4 in steals but hes running the bases smart. EX: Last night when he was on 2nd, CLee hit the groundball of Randa's glove, RTobie hustled al the way from 2nd to score. Everyone else on the Sox team (with the exception of Valentin) would have stopped at 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Where are all the Royce Ring lovers out there who said this trade was stupid because they didn't want to give up Ring? It is too early to ask that question. You can't rate a prospect trade when the prospects are still in the minors, come back in 3 years.

Then wasn't it too early to start the KW bashing regarding Ring when he traded an unproven minor league reliever for a Hall of Fame second baseman?

Cerbaho-WG Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Where are all the Royce Ring lovers out there who said this trade was stupid because they didn't want to give up Ring? If you look at his stats at AA Birmingham and Binghamton, it hurts to lose him. But, with a plethora of lefties already up, and some in AAA, we could afford to ship him out.

I understand that we lost a prospect, but that's all he was, a prospect. I just think people around here talk about our minor league prospects as superstars, when all they really are is unproven talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafacosta Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 And Ring will be just a closer, some people said that he would be just a reliever and not a closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
