SleepyWhiteSox Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) He doesnt really lead the team..... and I dont think the players really look at him as the leader like Manny or Schilling.... With Sweeney partly because of him being such a great guy and part because he is on a very young team i bet everyone in the KC clubhouse looks up to him. Wait, manny is a leader?

Sorry, but I didn't know that you were in the red sox clubhouse to see who their leader is. The catcher leads every team and Varitek is widely praised as an excellent clubhouse leader.

There have been multiple articles on Varitek in SI and ESPN the Mag about how great of a leader Tek is and what he does to prepare that team for games. He is THE leader on that team.

Gene Honda Civic Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Dude, Tek's the guy who brings out the shots of Jack before the game. That's why he's captain. Duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsox08 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I would like Sweeney as a part time 1b or a full time DH..... Damn this guy is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 If Veritek is not a leader in the Red Sox clubhouse, then the Pope is not catholic. Veritek was THE prime free agent the Red Sox retained after last season, over Lowe, Pedro and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they made that decision for a reason, and his leadership skills were a very big part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Sweeney is a hell of a lot better teammate type than Kong could ever hope to be... did anyone else catch what Konerko was talking with the 1st base coach of Baltimore, I believe it was saturday when Contreras was pitching and the coach said to Kong something to the effect "I haven't ever seen Contreras pitch b4 and he seems darn good" to which Konerko said "Yeah but sometimes he does something really stupid" Not that he is wrong but you don't say stuff like that...esp when one of the two are miked up...
