maggsmaggs Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 At the times of thier injuries, they were both having MVP-type years. Frank's injury occurred the night the Sox beat Florida in the 10th innning (June 15th) He was batting .298 with 17 homers and 43 RBI's; not to mention a .462 OBP and a 1.101 OPS. Magglio's injury was May 25th against Texas, when he was hurt I think swinging. He was batting .311 with 8 homers and 34 RBI's. --When you think about where we are without these two, it is probably better than expected. To be 4 games over .500 without a Hall of Famer/MVP canditate and a perennial all-star/MVP candidate, isn't great, but isn't all the bad. Put things into perspective, the last 3 losses: 1 to Minny and 2 to Det., if we had these guys, we probably would have won them. At least this year, we have an excuse and pretty good one unlike the last 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
