CWSGuy406 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Johnson is a strong lefty bat with potential there's no doubt, but he is oft injured. Konerko is not that much older than Nick J. and he's much more a threat with the bat and is established as an all-star caliber player. Plus I doubt that he will really get thrown out at 1B on a hard hit ball to RF as was stated in another post. *At home*, Konerko is an All-Star caliber player. Unfortunately, you play 81 road games too. Johnson would be an absolutely awesome pickup, IMHO. If you can get him fairly cheap, I'd definitely love the pickup.

Soxy Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Sorry, this is a distraction--but Anthrax in your sig it says "to smart" and I just wanted to point out that it should be "too smart" sorry, that's been bothering me this whole thread.

Gene Honda Civic Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I think Timo is going to be a big part of our team as a 4th outfielder. I mean the guy is a solid pinch hitter .192/.192/.231 Solid :puke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurcieOne Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 WTF is up with this s***? Why the f*** is it ok around here to use a derogatory term, and sterotype, for people who happen to live south of the Mason Dixon line? What's next? Are we going to start throwing around terms like k***, s***, n*****, Dago, Kraut, Mick, f*****, etc. I mean, if this kind of stuff is acceptable around here, just tell me. I can sling vile filthy degrading sterotypes around too. If not, then MurcieOne .... please refrain from any and all discriminatory remarks. Not just those of your choosing. Thank you. It's interesting you chose you associate hillbilles with southerners...... Did I call them southern hillbillies... I dont think i did. If anyone is discriminating i'd say it be you. If I insulted you.... you have my deepest apologies... MurcieUno Dago Mother f***er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 How about "Demarcate"? I'm not well read in German or Metal. I just let that one slide, assuming it was some sort of colloquialism of one of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Concerning Gibbons, I would not mind him. If we could swing a deal where we grab one of their relievers and maybe Hairston, I would be more than happy. Gibbons is a guy we could use off the bench at a few positions. He would be able to play 1B, LF, and RF IIRC. For the right price, I wouldn't object. I wouldn't go out of my way to deal for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmore is going to add at least one more bat and Gibbons is going to be the guy that is ousted. I'm sure Baltimore will try and deal him, but when time comes he's gonna get non-tendered, imo. Gonna be a good pickup too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Anthrax. Just some info, the Administration here at Soxtalk decided a few months ago to suspend people on occasion who resort to personal attacks. Please keep that in mind when you disagree with others here. Does anyone have the link to that thread to back me up? No, but I can already tell you some suspensions/warnings will be coming. But first I got to finish reading this thread.

Chisoxfn Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Thats fine, but I was not the one who started the personal attacks,, ever since I came onto these boards All i hear about is how OC..aka Godlike player would not fit onto the Sox because ..I still trying to figure that out... Then we want Polacno,. who would fit maybe on the Barons.. and now I hear about Nick Johnson.. if you fail in Triple-a Montreal, thats pretty sad.. I sprry I hirt your feelings. and I make sure to soften the reality of MLB Thats fine, you can have your opinion that its wrong. I know RedandWhite and I both are fans of Cabrerra. I have my disagreements of whether he's worth what he's asking for, just like I think Renteria isn't worth anywhere near 10 million a year. But we discuss it, we don't just call people dips***s because we disagree with the opinion. I'm of the belief that Polanco would be a solid pickup at the right price. He's done nothing but produce at the major league level the past couple seasons and he's thought of as a leader. He was loved in St. Louis and he's loved in Philly. And as far as Nick Johnson goes. He's had a ton of health issues and thats the only thing thats prevented him from putting up big numbers. He's a left handed bat that should hit .270-.280 when healthy, probably higher, and also draws a ton of walks. He'd be a great pickup and if I recall Kenny was interested in Johnson in times past. See, I just disagreed with you, but it was in a completely respectful manner that adds to the conversation. You could very well be right, but we both have our opinions and I'm not going to bash you because of your opinion, rather I'll give my reasons why its wrong without ever resorting to an attack.

Chisoxfn Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Want to say I locked this thread. Its not because their wasn't good baseball discussion, but I don't want the personal attacks to continue. Actions were made and I think the board will be back to normal Anyway, I am going to split off the original post so people can discuss the idea of Johnson more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
