There's a lot of assholes in pro sports that produce. Problem with Puig is that it's 50/50 if you're getting the 1 WAR version or the 3 WAR version. The 1 WAR version ain't worth it and everybody knows it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performance isn't as bad as the haters want it to be and it isn't as good as caulfield says it is bottom line, extra outfielder I'm fine with as long as his part time production shows up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now you're raising the speed on his arrest - not just in reality, from your previous post to this one. I'm not condoning it, but, c'mon man. Speeding 100 is bad enough without you needing to increase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna make light of it because you are throwing so much weight at it. You don't like Puig, we get it. He will not get your stamp of approval if he comes to Chicago. It's a shame he won't get that stamp, but it will all be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had read the previous posts you will see i originally said it was 110 and only said 100 because Brian Anderson in his post reduced it to 100 and I didn't correct him.

NCsoxfan Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 When Puig is locked in he’s as good as there is at the plate. When he’s not, it looks ugly. I think he’d be hella fun as a 4th OF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just.......I can't in good conscience sit here and be like "I don't want Puig because he drove really fast with his mom in the car once" lance briggs fucking wrecked a Lambo and ditched it so he wouldn't get a DUI and all I ever worried about was him making tackles. This shit doesn't bother me like it does you. There is nothing he has done that has shown to be so detrimental to the team that he should be considered radioactive. He is a prick, there are a lot of them in baseball @ron883 you couldn't handle all these mod powers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went from 110 with occupants ( the real facts) to 100 with no occupants to 85-90 from you with occupants. Then I was accused of raising the speed myself from one post to another.How was I supposed to respond to that ? I don't think he is worth the risk because of an endless list of transgressions on and off the field involving team mates,other teams , managers, coaches, relatives,writers, civilians and law enforcement. You think he is worth the risk . So be it. Edited February 10, 2020 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 The stories out of LA are bad. You might overlook Dick Allen having his own set of rules but not Yasiel Puig. I don't see the upside even if he could be a rescue pet and adopt a new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think it's worth getting that upset over Well duh I brought it up only when challenged and facts misrepresented and I was accused of changing the facts. I wouldn't have brought that one thing up again if you and others hadn't cherry picked it out of a long list . I'm not upset at all. If upset is defending yourself against people moving the goal posts so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalposts weren't moved ffs, someone changed the speed from 110 to 100 mph. and clearly the guy bothers you, your first post on the matter is calling everyone nuts for even suggesting it http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?/topic/108971-puig-still-a-possibility-for-sox/&do=findComment&comment=3902198 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) The Sox are going to give Mazara an opportunity to be a full time RFer for at least two months, and maybe longer. Having Puig chomping on the bit for playing time on the bench is probably going to be counterproductive...kind of like having a tiger as a pet cat and hoping he doesn't knock over the furniture. . Fvk Puig. My problem is with Kyyle speeding in Indiana at 120 mph or something like that. Edited February 10, 2020 by tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think it's worth getting that upset over I think this is part of the point. Is a guy who is difficult person in and out of the clubhouse going to sit on the bench and not cause issues? Is he going to be happy that he doesn't get to play and won't be able to get another large contract while sitting on the bench? Is it worth having a guy like that on the bench? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
