IlliniKrush Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 05:55 PM) Remove Crede/Blalock from the equation and you're onto something. This is exactly what i was thinking. I think Blalock is terribly overrated (hell, the road numbers will tell you that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 06:05 PM) Hank Blalock also has a higher average, higher on base percentage, double the walks, 30 more RBI, more hits, more AB's, more doubles, more home runs, more runs, and more total bases. Should I go on? Could you please bring up a comparison of what Blalock did on the road with what Crede did on the road? Thanks. Horrid deal if Blalock/Crede are involved. Crede on a herniated disc is better than Blalock. I'm not willing to compromise our defense for Blalock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) I don't like this trade at all. We don't need to totally overhaul the team. Wilkerson sucks. Dude hit 32 hr's in 04 but only 11 last year. Blalock would be an upgrade offensively over Crede, but a downgrade defensively. A major prospect? Jesus! Why do we have to rape our farm system? According to the 1st post, we would be getting the prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&T Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 QUOTE(GasHeGone @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 06:50 PM) Someone at ChicagoSports.com is talking about some deal brewing down in Dallas...Blalock, Wilkerson and a prospect for Crede, Garland? Anyone got any dirt on this? The same thread says that Tejada is being traded for Garland tomorrow. Lots of credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) .962 FP at 3B for Blalock for his career while it is .964 for Crede. Edited December 15, 2005 by SoxFan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 What difference does it make if it's true or not. What does it tell you, it says there is lots of chatter out there about Garland going for an impact player. There is nothing wrong with that.

I dont know about that man...I live down here in Texas and have the oppurtunity to see the Rangers play quite a bit and Blalock has an excellent glove at the hot corner, Hank offensively>Joe offensively...Hanks D=Joes D both great fielders but it is by no mean a downgrade defensively Hank can really flash some leather my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who hits in Washington is going to see a decrease in their hitting, mainly power. That stadium is ridiculous. Ridiculously ginormous and a pitchers park. Look at guys like Loaiza, Hernandez, and Patterson and how their numbers jumped up in 2005. Then look at Vidro, Wilkerson, etc. and see the decrease in offense.

Guest JimH Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Texas wants pitching badly. Guillen knows Wilkerson from Montreal. Sox love Blaylock. Could be BS, but it makes sense on the surface anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I love this deal, but why would Texas trade a top prospect, Blalock and Wilkerson for only one guarenteed year of Garland and an injury-suspect Crede. Makes no sense for them, but where do I sign up if true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blalock has more RBI's, more HR's, more doubles, more walks, and more runs scored. Yes, look at those numbers considering Blalock has batted 3rd/4th in each of those 3 seasons while Joe has been put in the #9 slot. Just some info on baseball, in the #9 slot, you're less likely to get more RBI's than the guy in the 3-4-5 spots. In fact, has there ever been a #9 hitter who has had more RBI's than a #3-4-5?? Also, Blalock's protection is Texieria and Soriano. Crede's protection is Podsednik and Uribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 i looked at Rangerfans.com (the Texas message board) and nothing said about it. You would think it would be all over there if true, so probably a BS rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 KW just needs to send out an e-mail to the league's GM's to have their best offers on the table for Garland by Christmas. He will have no shortage of offers. KW will again bring in somebody good with years on a contract for someone good on their way out. This time the Sox may get the good prospect. NICE.
