Sox1422 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I honestly don't feel that bad about this. Sure it sucks, but the Sox are playing fine right now and that was with an unproduictive Magglio and without Frank. I am confident that KW will make the right move to help keep the offense strong. Don't sweat it. They will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I have a feeling something suprising is going to be announced at the press con. I doubt that but you never know with kenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 im a little confused i thought maggz was on the 15 day DL then people say he is out for the season which is it No one ever said he was on the 15 day disabled list Kenny will be on in just a couple of minutes.

Queen Prawn Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Teaches me to do work. What is a degenerative leg?! I have degenerative cartilage in my knee (now both). If you have big dough this can be fixed (see harold baines). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Im not saying a trade, I mean, could be, but I just think KW is going to say something that is going to suprise alot of people.... I'm not really sure what you mean. Elaborate por favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 Right now, if I'm Kenny - I'm aggressively pursuing Jason Kendall right now. No, he won't replace Maggs in terms of RBIs and HRs, but he'll get on base a ton. And if it's true that Maggs will be out four-six weeks, we need production from every part of our lineup. I'll take Timo's .250 average and defense in right, but I cannot take Ben Davis .150 average and plus D. Kendall has turned from a want, into a need. Go get him.

Steff Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 What is a degenerative leg?! I've never heard of such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Rushed back for no reason when Thomas went down - unbelievable He wanted to come back. No fluid on the knee.. full ROM.. seems to me that Maggs might not have been honest about how much pain he may have been in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Teaches me to do work. What is a degenerative leg?! I have degenerative cartilage in my knee (now both). If you have big dough this can be fixed (see harold baines). I think they're referring to his entire leg. Cartilage in his knee wouldn't be that big of a deal. But he's had numerous issues with the same leg, which sounds like a degenerative issue to me. And I've heard it discussed on the score by numerous people, and "degenerative" is rarely ever thrown around unless there's a good reason for it. Someone is going to get stuck with a huge contract when Maggs goes on the 5 year DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijames Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 We flat out can't win this thing with both Frank and Mags out. That is just too much offense to lose. Damn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 We dont need another power hitter who hits .250. We have plenty of those. Lets get Frank Catalanotto. He is hitting .335. We need someone that can get on and move the train along on the basepaths. Not another power hitter who will K or hit the dong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a high average hitter and is a catcher. 2 birds, one stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no one will get stuck with anything. Whatever he gets will be insured like Albert's contract was.. IF there is an ongoing condition.

Soxbadger Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Well if this is true now we will really see what life with out Maggs will be like next year, and be better able to judge where we should put our free agent money. I do not think this will be the death blow to the Sox, just Ozzie is going to have to be creative on who plays every day and at what position.

If Magglio has issues with his knee at the end of the season, good luck trying to get his huge contract insured. Belle's unfortunate hip condition is one of the reasons contracts are a lot tougher to insure these days. This is probably going to cost Magglio a ton of money.
