SSH2005 Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 What makes you say that? I think that he has been pretty darn good over there. Haha, are you serious? He just waved Konerko around 3rd base when Jason Michaels already had the ball. Cora just got extrememly lucky. He's an awful 3rd base coach.

Felix Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ May 29, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) Exactly. Give it up for one AB. He's widely considered the best defensive SS in the AL. It's not even June. He is? Maybe by Sox fans that actually watch him play, but I'd say that most of the media don't think he's the best SS.

TitoMB345 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Oh, please don't get me wrong, I'll take a lucky RBI single any day of the week, but come on, he needs to f***ing take a pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's cost us some key runs in some big situations. CREDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played third for several seasons until he moved to first. He's a better firstbaseman than Frank ever was, although not exactly gold glove material.

Felix Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 29, 2006 -> 01:28 PM) Vandy, I am with you. Sure Hawk slurps him, but he does bring up a good point. THere is a point when time after time it stops being luck. *gasp* I agree as well! I think that he takes a lot of risks that don't seem smart, but they usually work out. He seems to know what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes them make a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
