SoxFanForever Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Ken Rosenthal recently did a list of the "All Washed Up Team". Basically, players who are making bank and aren't doing jack. He placed Frank on the list, although I don't think he deserves it as much as some of the guys on here. Anyways, link below. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/4842310 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) Kind of harsh to put a disabled player on a "washed-up" list. Where's the list of sportswriters who are so bankrupt of ideas that they have to resort to stupid pointless lists? I mean, it's not like there are two tight wild card races to write about, or league MVPs to debate, or close races in two divisions to report on, or.....

Balta1701 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Frank Thomas is washed up in the exact same sense that Ken Griffey Jr. was washed up coming into this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I hope the next time this guy needs to take a few days off from work due to illness, he returns to find someone else at his desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Don't know what the Fuzz is, He's right. All those mentioned are washed up. Of course i've seen washed up players come back to have a 2 or 3 more good years but by most part he's right. We Sox fans gotta start to learn to move ahead without Frank in the picture, he wasn't gonna play forever and he'll be 38 yrs old next season. I apreciate what Frank did for this team but it's time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidalgo could still put it all together and Nomar, if healthy, can still hit. And even though I love Frank, I'm inclined to include him on this list too.

WilliamTell Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I know Juan Gone has only had 1 at bat in the past year and has hardly played in the past few years, but he's making 600,000. That isn't a lot of money in baseball terms, but yes he is washed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) It should have been titled the "All-Injury Team". Would Rosenthal be "washed-up" if he broke his hand and couldn't write? Edited September 6, 2005 by knightni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeGone! Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 If this is the all injury team then where's Bonds on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Is there some reason Kerry Wood didn't make the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to be washed up when the only thing you've ever accomplished in your career is one great game and one very good year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, In order to be on that list you would've had to be great at once. Kerry Wood wasn't even close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Were this an actual team, they would have to forfeit the game. Most of the player are on the DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
