Thank you Jim.. for proving my point.

so because Harris struggled in limited playing time last season, causing the Sox to acquire Alomar for the stretch run, he's automatically a terrible player?

 

that is basically what you are saying. If a guy is replaced one time in his career, he obviously can't be a good player.

 

that doesn't make any sense.

 

Can Harris be a solid enough player for a contending team like the Sox? Yes.

 

Are there better players than Harris out there? Yes.

 

Do the Sox NEED a better player at second in 2005 for them to compete? No.

 

I'm starting to believe both of us are arguing different points.

Do you really want me to give you a list of players worse than him? If so give me and hour to compose it. Probally two.

Signing Tim Raines as first-base coach nixes any thought of benching/trading Willie. Whether from the fans of front office, everyone seems to believe Raines will teach Harris the fine art of basestealing. Don't know how this will work out. You can sign me for a contract and I'd just tell Harris to quit being a pussy and run. ;)

 

While I've been jumping aboard the Palanco wagon, I just don't forsee this organization signing a suitable 2B replacement. Harris can become a solid player, but he splits against lefties only complicates this situation.

Rivas/ cuddyer combo.

Hey, Rivas is 3 years straight now. He must be fantastic! And that's the first team we've got to be concerned with anyway.

 

You might get an argument about Pokey Reese, but what an awful hitter, I'd throw him in too. But for the real icing, pull out the Enrique Wilson. (He started over 1/3 of the Yankees games this season, yeesh.)

You are right, the Twins are not big on Rivas at all. They've been b****ing about him for at least a year, they think he's hardheaded and lazy.

 

He had that great first year and it's been downhill since.

 

Rivas needs a change of scenery and he'll get one.

 

When the Twins give up on you, that should be a sign for other GM's to stay away, they don't make too many mistakes in talent evaluation.
