Texsox Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 It seems that we are going to have Uribe, Valentin, and Harris seemingly switching on a game to game basis based primarily on the lack a offensive punch against lefties. Is it important to have a regular dp combination? Is the offense more important than the defense? Anyone else wish we had R. Alomar back? 22 Days and counting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 It seems that we are going to have Uribe, Valentin, and Harris seemingly switching on a game to game basis based primarily on the lack a offensive punch against lefties. Is it important to have a regular dp combination? Is the offense more important than the defense? Anyone else wish we had S. Alomar back? 22 Days and counting It would be nice to have a regular dp combo, but Harris still has to prove he can play in the majors. If he's still struggling in late May or June, and/or Uribe gets hot, Willie will be lucky to be in the majors. I know you meant to say R. Alomar. That situation with KW and the agent and what we offered or didn't was just totally screwed up. But I think Robbie was on the downslide of a great career. He was better than D'Angelo, but I'd just as soon see Uribe get the job for the long term. Offense/defense??? Depends on how bad the defense is. The ball will always find you. I'd rather start with a solid defense and figure out a way to score a few runs, than start with offense and hope to overpower and outscore the other guys.

Texsox Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Sandy, Roberto, can't he platoon? I always felt a solid team was built up the middle. Platooning the dp combo just doesn't seem to make sense. But without a clear cut 2nd baseman, it may be all we can do early in the season. This is going to be a key question for Oz to figure out. Juggling lineups hurt us early in the season last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Maybe Ozzie can be a player manager and play SS for them again. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddy Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 ya know, i guess willie deserves a chance... but honestly Uribe is leading the team in HRs so far this ST and is hitting a helluva lot better than willie... i have a feeling this guy could break out this year while willie... im not as sure about him. Anyway, thats just my 2 cents on the issue. we should start out with harris and switch to uribe as fast as possible and not platoon the dp combo, thats a disaster waiting to happen defensively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Tell you the truth, I like Willie defensively. He seems to make some pretty tough plays due to his speed and good range. I have been impressed with that. One can only hope he could start hitting some. If not I bet he will be moved to 8th or 9th in the line up when he does play.
