Every body expecdts these young guys to come up and just tear it up. It takes time. They have to learn how to deal with ML pitching, and just living the life of a big league ball player. It's an adjustment. Look at Corey Patterson... he sucked big time for two years, but now his talent is coming through. Albert Pujols types don't come along very often.

Mainly because Graff has proven when he's an everyday player his numbers take a big time dive. He isn't a starter, he's a hell of a utility player.

 

In regards to Crede, if your blaming your prospect that doesn't even have a full year under his belt, then the team has a lot more concerns then just him. Crede is in a bit over his head right now, but he isn't the problem. He wouldn't even be noticed right now if the other guys were playing up. Lets not forget that it was Crede who helped carry the team early in the season.

but wouldn't a little pressure help... graff pushing him may speed development

You don't think he's under pressure right now? Look at Robin Ventura. He went 0 for his firts 41 at bats when he came up. They stuck with him, and he developed into a hell of a ballplayer.

Hell it's not like any of the other guys are being a good influence to him. The veterans have to step it up.

 

Speaking of that it's time for Garland to stop being a pussy and take his game to the next level. He HAS to step up.

Blame this all on Buehrle, yet don't even bother mentioning Garland.

 

Atleast Buehrle has an ERA under 5.00. That is something Garland can't say.

Garland was not wrote because, post I answered to was about Crede and MB. Garland is horrid and this staff is nowhere near 83 :nono

The Sox have several HUGE holes, and Crede is one of them. Hes AWFUL.

Umm try again Blalock was annointed last year and hit terrible last year. He had to be sent back down to OK City. He didn't hit right away, he hit .211 in about 50 games over two stints last year. It took him to his second year.

ummm crede played last season more than blalock. Know baseball before you challenge me. The fact is, Blalock adjusted and Crede didnt. That tells you Blalock doesnt suck and Crede probably does. When i said right away i meant within their first full season. Neither player has reached that level yet. Blalock is pounding the ball and Crede looks like a high schooler at the plate.
