The Beast Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Seriously now, which players do you see no passion or heart out of for the game? I see the following Koch Daubach Olivo Thomas Harris Anyone I am missing? Yes. One other person that isn't a player. Jerry Manuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Not sure how you can say Koch has no passion for the game. The guy wants a shot to go out there and redeem himself everynight. He just doesnt have the arm strength or ability right now to do so. Olivo just can't hit any breaking pitches, otherwise he is a solid player that tries. Right now, I think its less about 'heart' and more about gametime performance. Right now, no one in this lineup is performing, or did when they needed to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, nothing will be accomplished if you just be a flame thrower with no location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I would take all of those names off of the list. This is my list Robbie Alomar Bartolo Colon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 I really dont think we have a shot to see if Willie has any heart to, so i count him out. Willie is a little pathetic. Hits .373 in the minors and hits .093 in the majors...catch my drift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I would take all of those names off of the list. This is my list Robbie Alomar Bartolo Colon -Well Bartolo Colon is kind of a mystery, he doesn't really act like he's really pumped up. Buuuut that might just be the way he is and he might really care, I just don't think so. -And I just don't think that Robbie cares that much about winning anymore. "Been there, done that" -Willie gets one at-bat a month, not his fault. I really think he loves to play and does have a lot of heart.

How can you say he doesn't care...I never see him slacking off at all... -Willie needs to come up big for us when needed though, seriously.

How do you expect a player that DOES ONLY HAVE AN At bat A WEEK(if lucky) and expect him to come up big??? C'mon........... When needed.

When needed. what does that mean then? expalin when he needs to come up big, when he see the field or an AB once every 5, 6 games. bunt attempts with a runner on first to score a tying run. steals to get into scoring position.

Willie, none of us are sure that he can get it done if playing regularly, but we might get to see in 2004, with a revamped Sox team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
