Guest JimH Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 KW is definitely aggressive. The other thing is other organizations may not have a very high opinion of our minor leaguers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, totally agree. Every team hypes their prospects, the Sox are no exception. s***, I hyped Brian Anderson too, and I hope he's good, but I have seen him play and he is not a difference maker at this point.

Six years from now you'd be worried about Anderson leaving, and complaining that his FA year came up too early because he got called up with a 12.5 game lead. Brian Anderson is no savior. He'll be up in 2.5 weeks anyways. We can only hope we'd be b****ing about Brian Anderson leaving in 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I was talking about bringing up Anderson if Pods injury lingers like Everett's did for a week or so. If Pods can go on Monday, then you just wait until the September call-ups. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What you say here is new information, I didn't see you comment on the injury factor previously, only that Anderson should be brought up.

No, I brought it up in regards to not having to use Timo and Ozuna to be playing a weeks worth of games if Pods is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 The fact is, we should not be talking about Brian Anderson, unless it's an emergency. If there's an emergency in the next two weeks, it will be Borchard like it or not. They need a dangerous bat, not a 23 yr. old with 100+ K's in AAA. Not to discredit Anderson but they need somebody just a little more dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like a lone wolf, nothing new. Those guys can hit and in general, they have good eyes at the plate. Something the Sox should scout and draft. Which I think they are finally starting to do. The kid 2B from Michigan they drafted ... Getz ... first taste of pro ball and way more walks than K's. Encouraging. They should have done that 5 years ago.
