Jim Fainter Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 He was officially released by the Astros. Think KW will consider signing him? Jose figures to be gone, and there is a lot of doubt on this board if Jiminez can handle the job (SS) defensively. I don't read the Houston papers, but you know Mr. and Mrs. will publicly kiss and make up any day now, just like the Kidds, the Moons, and probably others that I can't think of right now.

God I hope not, I don't want to see us sign a wife beater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be getting a light-hitting, average-fielding shortstop. With "issues." If Kw considers signing this chump, he should be shot out of one of the scoreboard fireworks tubes(yes, i know they're only for show) during the 7th inning stretch. Unlike Warren Moon, or Jason Kidd, Lugo is a mediocre player at best. If he were better, the Astros would have kept him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSoX30 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I live in Houston and let me tell you, Lugo was not actually found guilty.. No one SAW him "attack" his wife thats what she told them.. The astros cut him without even knowing the truth, and Lugo was a better than average SS but no all star.. But like I was saying, he was never actually prooven Guilty, thats just what his wife said, no one witnessed anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There had to be some type of physical evidence. While I doubt he "beat" her.. something happened. Something that likely involved him using aggressive behavior. Which, IMO, should never be tolerated. Termination justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Please be aware that I was not advocating signing Lugo, just thinking out loud. Regardless of accusations or convictions, just say no to Lugo. Time to think more quietly Jim. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I was saying, he was never actually prooven Guilty, thats just what his wife said, no one witnessed anything Ya, I heard the same thing and I do think Lugo is a pretty solid shortstop with quite a bit of potential. It was a funny circumstance the whole way around and I know a lot of people don't believe he did it. Remember, we had Wil Cordero around for a bit. NOTE: I don't endorse anyone that beats his wife because its one of the stupidest things you could possibly do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox247 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Lugo was a decent leadoff man for the Astros, and he will consistently put up a .260 average. He's also been bothered with injuries. If we pick up Lugo I will be seriously pissed. I'm tired of management going around picking up controversial s***ty players with bad reputations. And that in turn brings a bad reputation to the team.

CubKilla Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 You'd be getting a light-hitting, average-fielding shortstop. With "issues." Didn't we have a SS just like this 2001 and 2002 ? :fyou Lugo and :fyou K-layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
