Fair enough and I agree. But, at the same time, wouldn't it be bad ass to have him in the dugout for our playoff run? I for one would be estatic. I mean just picture this scenario. We're facing the Red Sox in the ALCS, Uribe has a horrible AB his first time up. He goes back to the dugout, the camera pans to him sitting next to Big Frank. Then Juan comes up for his next AB.....WAYYYY BACK, YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, the thought of this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'm guessing that this is an injury that his doctor in Vegas would want to keep an eye on. If there is rehab going on right now, and I"m not sure if there is, I'm sure Herm could do a great job, but it's probably easier around Big Frank's doctor, since this is a recurring injury. Does anyone know if he calls members of the team to give them support? Email? Snail Mail? Seriously, just because he is not with the team, doesn't mean he's not with the team. And Podsednik's injury needed rest, not a cast. He wasn't told to stay off of the leg, nor was he put in a soft cast. Nor was he out for the season. And did you forget the two days he spent in Charlotte and not with the Sox? Should Pods have been with the Sox or on a rehab assignment? Frank has done and said a lot of stupid things in his career, but not being at games this year after possibly rushing back from his previous injury (only saying that because he injured it again) is not something to get in a huff over.

They were talking on the radio the other day, I cant remember if it was 670 or 1000, but they said Frank was planning to join the team in the dugout very shortly.

Good points. I think I have a question to add fuel to the fire. In his other DL stints in the past, has he spent a decent amount of time in the dugout?

I think someone can appreciate what a player has done with being a fan of his. This is a far-fetched comparison, but I think it makes some sense. I appreciate what Sosa and McGwire did to help baseball with their homerun chase, but I am certainly not a fan of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to point out that I was not comparing length of playing time with one team or another. I know plenty of people who don't like Frank but respect his play. When he didn't get that I thought I'd try using Schilling. Obviously.. that didn't work. :banghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
