Old Socks Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 The Sox do need a stick, and the Rockettes would love to dump Walker's salary. He has proven he can still hit and play defense in the last three weeks. I love spending JR's money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Anybody wish we had Aaron Miles back instead of Uribe? Think we could use a switch hitting leadoff man hitting in the 320 range with a 350 OBP? Another KW flop. As I've said in the past, and gotten clobbered for it, I don't trust him to make the right move here either. Miles has no range defensively at 2B, and he has no speed. Uribe's worked out just fine. Miles was sucking ass in April and May, and Uribe was not. That was exactly when we needed Uribe the most. If not for Uribe's help in April and May, we may not be where we are right now. He helped spark this team. I'm glad KW made the trade. It has worked out for us, and it has worked out for the Rockies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said in the past, and gotten clobbered for it, I don't trust him to make the right move here either. There's a reason he was still in AAA at the age of 27. As was mentioned, he doesn't have much range, speed, or power. If he isn't hitting, he doesn't have much value. Uribe is faster and stronger, has more range, a better arm, and is only 24. He's probably not as good a contact hitter, but he offers a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 IIRC, we have one series in August against a team above .500(one or two anyways). The Twins have one series in August against a team below. We could easily finish 10-20 games above .500. Another bat will be brought in to replace Thomas for the next 8 weeks, and the pitching will step up. This is the time last year when the team really caught fire. That is, after they lost 10-9 against Detroit. The division is definately ours to lose still. Finally someone comes through with something other than blatant pessimism. Jeez-us. We lose a couple of games and the sky starts falling for some people here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you weren't against the trade when uribe was tearing it up or how about when Miles got sent back to aaa? Uribe is younger and better, so please just shut up because it's ridiculous that you called this trade bad. :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dont pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManSooLee Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I hate to keep saying it, but we ain't gonna finish more than 10 over .500 this year. We don't have the talent. So we better hope we finish 10 over and Minnie doesn't. I disagree our pitching is decent this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uribe>Miles. Better D, more versitaile, younger, and eventually a better stick. I love how you just see the opportunity for a negative post, and just grasp it. It brings a much needed laugh to my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
