Heads22 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The reason I'm fine with Ortiz as a DH is because even though he doesn't play the field, he has a massive effect on the outcome of Red Sox games. Not saying Thome and Dye don't, but the Red Sox would be third in the East without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I agree with most of the original. Just a few slight changes. AL Most Valuable Player: David Ortiz AL Cy Young Award Winner: Roy Halladay AL Rookie of the Year: Francisco Liriano AL Manager of the Year: Jim Leyland AL Comeback Player of the Year: Jim Thome AL Biggest Surprise: Detriot Tigers AL Biggest Disappointment: Cleveland Indians AL Game of the Year: Yesterday's Red Sox/White Sox game NL Most Valuable Player: Albert Pujols NL Cy Young Award Winner: Brandon Webb NL Rookie of the Year: Dan Uggla NL Manager of the Year: Joe Girardi NL Comeback Player of the Year: Nomar Garciaparra NL Biggest Surprise: Florida Marlins NL Biggest Disappointment: Chicago Cubs NL Game of the Year: don't know. White Sox specific categories: Best Hitter: Dye Best Pitcher: Bobby Jenks Most Valuable Player: Dye Biggest Surprise: Joe Crede. Biggest Disappointment: Javy Vazquez Game of the Year: Sox vs Astros June 24th. Crede slam of Qualls, Cintron single to keep winning streak Favorite Moment: Sox scoring 11 runs in one inning against Cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know s*** about the NL, but how could the Cubs be the Biggest Disappointment? They were expected to suck and they do. No shock there.

hammerhead johnson Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 11, 2006 -> 05:47 AM) No, it wouldn't be a different story. Liriano has started ten games. He's been impressive, but Bronson Arroyo is a prime example of what time can do to you, as it happened to him last year in Boston, and seems to be happening to him again in the National League. Best of luck to both of them, You on the otherhand need to read what is being asked of you, and stop being an argumentitive, name calling buffoon. How in the f*** does Bronson Arroyo enter into this discussion? Liriano is a HOF caliber pitcher. Arroyo has 3rd or 4th starter talent. Great example.

It's impossible to ignore his potential, but to even mention Liriano and the Hall of Fame in the same sentence after starting only fourteen games in his career, is absolutely disgusting. Get real. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
