Drew Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I like Figgins more than Podsednik. Better defense makes him more valuable, and seems to do the little things with more consistency and success. I wouldn't mind seeing him in silver and black come March, but not at that asking price.

Dick Allen Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I find it hard to believe the Sox have been so patient with Crede only to trade him away when all their patience pays off. I'd would be absolutely stunned if he is traded unless the concern about his back is what fuels it. They still have time to deal with Boras, or maybe Crede dumps him to try to get a deal done. I think its a better bet you'll be able to tour a peaceful Middle East, than see Boras hammering out a long-term contract for a major player with JR.

Tis is what I was thinking, he has been a project for a few years now and has only been a top tier player for a year and a half roughly. He can be a cornerstone for this team for a while, if they can resign him of course. It would be like getting rid of Garland after all those bad outings a few years ago waiting for him to develop.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Wood and Kendrick aren't going anywhere and neither is Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second Ozzie put Fields in LF today, that sealed Crede's fate, IMO. BTW, how much most Pods suck for Rongey to say that he's been bad this year? Rongey was ripping on Pods today, and said that we'll have a new LF next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he can play adequate defense anywhere he is put. And he can actually steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock4Life Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 i think everybody can (or should) agree that this team is going to change after this season. one, maybe two, of our starting pitching will be gone. pods will be gone. and kw will make a trade in there for something, that will probably involve someone (other than the one or two starters). but i don't see crede leaving anytime soon. i mean if you keep bmac and garland, you have to keep crede, don't you?

DBAHO Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Well at least today Freddy Garcia showed he will certainly still have value, especially if teams that acquire him think that he will get his velocity back, and I actually think there's a good chance of that happening. Just don't let him pitch in the World Baseball Classic this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a really good article from FoxSports about a month back about the negative impact the WBC had on pitchers who participated in it. It was really quite a worrying trend to say the least.
