SoxFan562004 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Didn't see this posted anywhere, but Jeremy Reed was on the ESPN Radio "Baseball Show" on Saturday with Rob Dibble and Karl Ravich (SP?). Basically they got him on because he's hitting so well and he's one of the higher prospects. Reed came off very well. He basically talked about how he goes up to bat attempting to get on base, not just being focused on hitting a homerun. Both hosts seemed impressed, and Dibble pointed out how many young OF's the Sox have, and how hard it's going to be for him to break into the majors. Dibble did mention that the Sox and Maggs are trying hard to get an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Good stuff, wish I caught it. Reed is going to be a fine ballplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I can't wait to see Reed hitting 2nd behind Willie. Talk about some baserunners for the big men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 YES. I think what I'd like to see is Olivo in the 2 hole, but yes, Reed is going to be a sweet 2 hole hitter. He's so Erstad like to me...but hopefully healthier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so Erstad like to me...but hopefully healthier. Miguel has too many holes in his swing at this point to be a #2 hitter. If he learns to consistantly hit the offspeed stuff, maybe then. But Reed seems like a prototypical #2 hitter from what I hear and read about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 i read in the paper this morning that reed is batting .400 Yes he is. The only thing he isn't doing is walking much (2wlks, 7k's) but I'll gladly take .400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Diaz and Grilli are lookin good so far. Maybe one of them can replace Wright in the starting rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 If Wright fails, I think Cotts will get his chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Borchard's really strugglin. Last few games, he's hardly made any contact and got on base. Reed has gotten betta with each game, with A-Row still strugglin at balls low and away, I wouldn't call it a stretch to see Reed up by June. Of course a trade could be in the works if Maggs resigns, I think sumthin will get done with Borchard, possibly with the Dodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I didn't realize that Wunsch had started his rehab already. I wonder who gets sent out when he is ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I didn't realize that Wunsch had started his rehab already. I wonder who gets sent out when he is ready? I still think Wunsch is an excellent chance to be traded. The pen has looked very solid without him, it would be very hard to drop Cotts, Mike Jackson or Jon Adkins the way they r pitchin at da moment.

If he isn't dealt now, he is definately gone by the trading deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Weber's lost a lot of velocity on his pitches, and they need a middle reliever to get to K-Rod and Percival while Shields is also strugglin. Should try to get Figgins or Alamenzenga? in any deal we make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Borchard's really strugglin. Last few games, he's hardly made any contact and got on base. I hope everyone finally realizes that Joe is not going to amount to anything. He is a bust. He has a TON of potential, but he will never realize it. His first season in the minors was ok, but he has regressed ever since. At best, I see him as a sevicable outfielder at the age of 30.

Moving him there would definitely make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
