Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Just thought I would share draft guru/minor league guru Jim Callis' WHite Sox portion of today's chat. Andrew from TN asks: Is Josh Fields going to be a better hitter than Joe Crede? I'm guessing the White Sox drafted him as Crede's replacement to hopefully get more offense at the position. A: Jim Callis: I thought Crede would be a better hitter than he has been, but Fields has more offensive potential than Crede showed on the way up. Crede has been a major reason why the White Sox have underachieved in recent years, and he's running out of time. Fields could be ready by mid-2006.

Joe is testing everybody's patience. We're not asking for Scott Rolen. But this Jose Hernandez impersonation has got to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Godfather Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 When Joe was coming up I thought he was gonna be a stud with the numbers he was droping in the minors. Thing is some guys can hit lights out in the minors (Willie Harris) and just suck at the majors, I see Joe as one of these guys. This is one reason I dont care if we trade stud minor leaguers cause they havent proven anything yea they could be great or they could be the next Joe Crede something to think about when everyone jumps on KW's ass cause he trades a young player who is putting up numbers in the minors. Till they do it on the real stage they dont mean a thing. Joe is proof of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 i think the only deal people really jump on KW is when he trades major league talent as in foulke and kip wells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
