Guest wsc425 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Back then, Michael Jackson still was black. Now, Michael Jordan is retired.

witesoxfan Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I disagree with a few. Buehrle would be compared to Alvarez....both are lefties. Garland would then be compared to Fernandez....though someone may want to do some checking up on that one. Also....I think it is fair to compare Thomas to Thomas....but that is MHO.

CubKilla Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I disagree with a few. Yeah. Michael Jackson was well on his way to "whiteness" in '93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wsc425 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 In regards to Jackson still being black...I guess u were right. In regards to Garland and Thomas...yea u were right there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I disagree with a few. Yeah. Michael Jackson was well on his way to "whiteness" in '93. I agree. He was already at least 5 or 6 shades lighter by '93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Here's who I'd choose between them: Colon or McDowell - this is close, since McDowell was pretty nasty in 93 - even Buerhle or Alvarez - not even close - Buerhle Fernandez or Garland - Fernandez was more developed and hadn't yet plummeted - Alex Loiaza or Bere - while Loaiza has looked good, Bere was better in 93 - Bere Wright or #5 - would that have been Steib? - either way, this is a wash - even Konerko or Thomas - sorry, Paul, Frank was maybe the best hitter in baseball then - Thomas Jiminez or Cora - Joey Cora did a lot of nice things for that team, and D'Angelo hasn't done anything yet - Joey Valentin or Guillen - I want some D from my SS, so I go with Ozzie Crede or Ventura - this is close all of a sudden, too, but I still take Robin Alomar or Fisk - not even close - Fisk Lee or Jackson - two DH's in left field - I was one of the few people I knew who didn't like Bo Jackson, so I keep that in mind and take C Lee Rowand or Johnson - I also HATED Lance Johnson, so I take Rowand out of spite Ordonez or Sax - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA - Ordonez Thomas or Burks - can I have TWO Frank Thomases on my team? - I take Frank Graffanino or Calderon - I was a big Calderon fan, so I take Ivan Daubach or Newson - I am becoming a big Daubach fan, so I take Brian Miles or Pasqua - this is closer than I figured too, but Miles hasn't done it in the bigs yet, so I go with Danny SweetLeaf Rios or Raines - Raines actually started more games in left than Bo, didn't he? I take The Rock So I end up taking more '93 guys than today's - but if things go the way I think they will this year, this could be a team people bring up in comparisons like this for years to come...

1549 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Lee or Jackson - two DH's in left field - I was one of the few people I knew who didn't like Bo Jackson, so I keep that in mind and take C Lee Jackson was the Left fielder by default, he was playing because of Tim Raine's injury, and actually Raines still played a hell of a lot more. So Raines vs. Lee, well, Lee certainly has more power but I think the 2003 Sox would be better suited with Raines(because of an overall lack of speed) and the 1993 Sox would have been better suited with Lee(because power was needed more than extra speed). As for who is a better overall player...Raines. He was a Batting Average, OB%, Stealing threat. Plus "Rock" was one of my favirote players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
