southsider2k5 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Its obvious that he is hitting the crap out of the ball so far this spring, but for those who have watched multiple games, how has Josh's defense been so far? I know that was the big worry with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH2005 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) Ozzie did say Fields has improved greatly but his defense still looks shaky to me. He has 3 errors in 28 innings this spring. But I think that two of those errors came on hard liners off of his glove. He still has a lot of work to do with the glove. His bat is looking damn good though.

Kalapse Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I think Josh Fields should be our starting thirdbaseman this year. Joe Crede has sucked balls all spring and Josh Fields has been great, what ever happened to a player earning his spot during the spring? Crede should not get a free pass, it's pretty obvious that he needs some work in AAA still because his back is still bothering him. Josh Fields has 3 HRs off minor league pitching in Tucson that should be worth a starting job in the bigs. It sure wouldn't hurt anything.

Chisoxfn Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Fields has definately impressed. He made adjustments around the middle half of last season and started creaming the ball. It also was a matter of him getting past one of his good friends dying in a car crash. I'm glad we'll have him in the minors to help push Crede along and he definately needs another year in the minors, but if Crede were to get hurt, along with Mackoviak, Fields could come in and try to play. Fields still has to work on his footwork at 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I'm sick of him going into a five step drop everytime he catches the ball before he throws. He has to get rid of the ball quicker.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 He's improving a lot, which is a good sign considering who Crede's agent is. Let's hope he keeps getting better and is ready to start when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the runner will be at 3rd by the time he gets there. We are going to need to put Pablo at 1st if we plan on using that strategy.
