CanOfCorn Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) thanks cali! i just wanted to see what everyone thought it would take for us to get back on top. Obviously KW said he will be making minor tweaks. It would be nice to get both Rollins and Crawford, but there is a good chance that wont happen. Ozzie wants speed, so i'll be really dissappointed if KW doesn't try his best to aqcuire a guy like Rollins or Crawford, or in my wishes both As much as I would love to see both of those guys on the Sox...I don't think those would be "minor tweaks."

cgaudin Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 29, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) SWEET! Trade a guy that was MVP talks for most of the year for a bullpen arm??? Enjoy the circus 6 years ago, deal. I dont want old man Griffy any where near my OF. Why do you so interested with 37+ year old players? Bonds, Redman, Moyer,Griff(36) He absolutely sucked in the second half. Our high output offense sputtered in the last 2 months of the season, and I put much of the blame on his "swing for the fences, no matter what" mentality. I agree with Ozzie's philosophy of wanting speed at the top and bottom of the order. Problem is our speed guys hardly got on base. And whoever is drinking the Pierre kool-aid, I hope you choke on it. This guy is awful defensively and barely cuts the mustard on offense. His career OBP is a measly .350. He's almost guaranteed to ground to shortstop almost every time. Let the Cubs keep him. I believe we should try Sweeney. I doubt very much he will be as bad as Anderson turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 3, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) Does anybody with inside knowledge of the Sox know anything about Uribe? Is he a hothead? Does he not take instruction well? He seems to have a ton of offensive tools but has the totally wrong approach. Will he not take coaching to spray the ball all over the field? He's a great defender? What's his problem not using those tools offensively? I mean you can tell he has potential the way he takes a whack at the ball? Too impatient at the plate? Trying for hrs too much? SEND URIBE TO WINTER BALL WITH A HITTING COACH The solution is simple. Take a 7 inch spike, before he gets settled into the batters box, have the 3rd base coach call time, drive said spike into his front foot imobilizing hiim from flying open and doing his tazmanian devil spin. Now in reality, either A.) Fire Greg Walker and hire Papa Jack or B.) Hire Hrniak as a special assistant to work with Uribe and keep Greg away from him.

greg775 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Regardless, Uribe is a talent who should take instruction and become the hitter he can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can turn our entire team into Borg, such that we can simply program Uribe to take pitches and aim pitches away for right field, then we're set.
