whitesox247 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 finally he gets some credit..he is THE most underrated player of the game..i bet not many people outside of chicago has ever heard of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 finally he gets some credit..he is THE most underrated player of the game..i bet not many people outside of chicago has ever heard of him Joe Torre has. Torre is in love with Maggs. Since the White Sox probably won't pay Maggs what he deserves when his contract is up, the smart money will be on the Yankees to acquire Chicago's best RF'er.

MurcieOne Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Maggs is I'd say the second best RF'er in the league behind Vlad in Mont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted February 9, 2003 Author Share Posted February 9, 2003 Here's the caption read at your own risk: Chicago White Sox's Magglio Ordonez connects for his contest-winning 13th home run during the final round of the Big League Home Run Challenge on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2003, in Las Vegas. Ordonez beat Philadelphia Phillies' Pat Burrell 13-12. Go Maggs, hope this doesn't f*** up your swing for this season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 glad he won, and way more glad that he did this in february which goives him plenty of time to get his swing back in ST for the regular season - PK's never regained his swing after the All Star home run thing last July.

witesoxfan Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 So baggs...what you're saying is that this past season if Maggs would have hit 35 homers he would have hit .335? Not so sure about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 Maggs will be fine, he swing is effortless so don't worry! Maggs is a budding Mega-star....... nough said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 One thing I'd like to see Maggs do is steal more bases like he did in 2001.... it's not crucial to his game....... but if he does he will be truly be a 5 tool player....

Molto Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 that is my one fear of Ordonez baggs. I hope he doesn't get into the mindset of so many other players and builds muscle and just starts swinging for the fence. hopefully he keeps that Edgar Martinez mentality in him.

Chisoxfn Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 Thats what Maggs reminds me of. He's a lot like Edgar with that live bat. He can hit the ball to all parts of the field. Magglio may be the best offensive player in the majors in a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
