Antonio Osuna Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'll never call you a bum again, Crede. Promise. You've just joined Herbert Perry in the "Third Basemen I'll Never Criticize" club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Ill admit, I've said some negative things about Joe. But, I always knew he had this in him. That's what was so damn frustrating. A new Joe Crede has emerged. And I hope he's our 3rd baseman for the next 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 no matter what happens in the next two weeks I will never be down on a single player from this 2005 team for as long as I live.

Chisoxfn Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Crede. Timely hitting, stellar defense and 1 of 25 roster players to be a part of the 2005 World Series bound White Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Anyone else just have the sound of Hawk yelling "JOE CREDE" after he hit the gw home run against the Indians forever etched in their mind? I just couldn't help but think of that when that ball went up the middle and Aaron came around to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Joe Crede. From the most frustrating hitter in the Sox lineup, to the hero in the Sox lineup. The man who drove in the winning run in the Sox pennant winning game. The man who won Game 2. Then man who tied the Game with a HR. I will never doubt you again. You will go down in White Sox lore. Not only that, you're rather solid with the glove. Hats off to you. May your "rallying" continue in the World Series. This crow tastes rather good.

It always happens, it is a part of being a Sox fan. Rare is the Sox player who leaves on his own accord and isn't slammed for doing so. C'mon Tex, Crede could easily fire Boras like Uribe did so he can sign a good 3 year deal to stick around after what he's done to the post-season. And I know everyone thinks Konerko is a goner. Everyone thinks he's going to Boston. He has said he doesn't want to go to Boston, he doesn't think he could live there. We're going to make at least an extra $10M from the revenue alone from this fantastic playoff run. With Thomas and Everett's contract's comning off the books, payroll could be up to the 80M mark quite easily. We'll have the money to get Konerko re-uped, even with the re-signings of A.J and JG in my mind. You've got to remember with Konerko, he's the clubhouse leader. Ozzie and KW have repeadtly said how important leadership and a good morale in the clubhouse is. PK is a key to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yes, they could take second or third place money in the auction for their services. But when they don't, we turn on them like any other player. This euphoria will be long forgotten. That was my point. They will suck just like Belle, Colon, Maggs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when they don't, we turn on them like any other player. This euphoria will be long forgotten. That was my point. They will suck just like Belle, Colon, Maggs, etc. You've got to remember with Colon JR offered him the highest deal ever for a Sox pitcher in franchise history. He decided to bolt to Anaheim, his choice. I don't see anyone really bashing him about why he did that (although yes the old Tub Of Goo jokes did suddenly come to mind). Maggs was different. He rejected our 5 year deal, and got insanely lucky from an insane owner in the FA market. Konerko could get 4 years 50M very easily like Richie Sexson did, and he probably deserves to, he's got a proven track record of 40HR/100RBI's over the past 2 seasons. But loyalty still exists in baseball (it helps if Scott Bora$$ ain't your agent). Let's hope Konerko sees how good the Sox have been to him, how they stuck by him after 2003 when he very well could have been traded, and how we're a great team now, with a fantastic pitching staff, and he'll take a little less to stick around. Personally, if Paul Konerko leaves, I don't know about other Sox fans because I know mid - season at least 2/3rd's of the people here wanted him out just because of his measly BA/RISP (my oh my how that's turned around), but I won't have 1 bad thing to say about him at all.

Texsox Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 The original comment was never having anything bad to say about these guys. I just pointed out some fans have short memories and will turn in a heartbeat. I wonder how many people here are "fans" of the company they work for? How much less they would take to work for a company that has showed them loyalty and had great customers who also loved the company? Could you imagine yourself saying "we have the greatest customers in the world, I want to stay here forever! Even if someone offers me a 15 or 20% increase."

Could you imagine yourself saying "we have the greatest customers in the world, I want to stay here forever! Even if someone offers me a 15 or 20% increase." Yeah I know fans will turn, and that's unfortunate especially when the player's done nothing wrong over his time here. But that's life, fans are passionate for their team and don't want to see their star players deserting them for another. A company and a team in my mind are different. You leave 1 company for another, whether it's in the same industry, it's not the same as say PK leaving the White Sox and taking a huge offer with say the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (which will never happen). Then of course you're moving to another city, and you've got lifestyle issues family etc. to deal with. Alex Rodriguez signed a 10 year 250M deal because he was offered the most money. Eventually it worked out for him because he got traded to the Yanks, but those first few years in Texas weren't good at all for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 How is an accountant taking a position with another company, perhaps someone with a strong client following, different than a player? MLB is their industry. Take Buerhle for example, he grew up a Card fan. With the draft, most players have their teams chosen for them. They are tied up for several seasons, regardless of where they want to live or who they want to play for. Then, they are suppose to show loyalty to the company that drafted them, or who traded for them? I would argue that the accountant who interviewed and accepted a position at his own free will, should show more loyalty than a ball player who was drafted. The player may have never had a chance to choose. The accountant may take key clients with him, harming the company that paid him to develop that relationship.
