aboz56 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...tesox-headlines Pretty good stuff. Some of my favorite quotes: "I'm here to win a job" also liked his question when asked about the Angels... "Those days are done, we're here to kick the crap out of them." Also says he's feeling great just needs to get into shape. I think this guy will help us. I love his attitude, he's ready to play and compete.

Kalapse Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 10:20 AM) I question how productive Erstad can be on the field, but I think it's very possible he brings something to the clubhouse that could have been missing last season. Alright, thats my one "grinder" post for the year. All done. HE'S LIKE ROWAND ONLY OLD!!!!1111 I probably won't like the amount of playing time he gets this year or his production (or lack there of) but it's nearly impossible to dislike him as a person.

striker Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I may be overly optimistic, but I think Erstad is going to be a huge contributor to this teams success. He's on a new team and he's coming off an injury so he is going to be motivated to prove himself. We all know he has the talent. With Pod's injury and our iffy CF situation he is going to have plenty of opportunities to contribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyMan56 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 04:41 PM) Little OT, but did anyone see the piece they had on SportsNite last night with Danks-Masset-Sisco-Haeger-Floyd? That was really the 1st time I had heard any of them in an interview, and it was sort of odd to see all the new faces.... Yeah, I couldnt tell if Danks had a little dip in his mouth during the interview or not. I think I'm going to enjoy Masset alot this year, wish they had somethign on Aardsma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Erstad at the very least will bring leadership to the clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badatbest Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I think Erstad could bring back some of the team chemistry that we lost when we failed to resign Carl "T-rex" Everett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you were gone, ARow went to Cuba, kicked Castro's ass, and restored the island with democracy and all around good feelings. Just shows what a little grinder spirit will get ya.

RME JICO Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Erstad will be a great clubhouse addition and will also benefit from playing in the Cell more often. He has a great line there for his career: .353 BA, .387 OBP, .518 SLG, .905 OPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was really the 1st time I had heard any of them in an interview, and it was sort of odd to see all the new faces.... Yeah, and I was completely blown away by their story about Garland taking them golfing so that they could feel more comfortable with the team and so they could pick his brain about the majors.

Ditto to what you said. Yeah it was a piece on comcast last night. Danks, Masset, and Floyd I believe went with. But I know they interviewed Danks and Garland and they talked about it. I really like Danks after hearing him talk in the interviews. He seems like he has a good head on his shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 hilarious thread. I'm admittedly geeked for the season now. Especially after a 60 degree day here in mizzou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 FYI, Erstad makes a catch during the interview that already makes him look better in the field than PODS. Also to note: Floyd is wearing FG's old number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Also interesting: Erstad's locker is next to Konerko and Buehrle, kind of a leaders corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 If he stays healthy, we'll have a significant upgrade at one of our two OF black holes from last year. Big if though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Best Damn's Top 50 Devastating Hits 27. Darin Hurt-Stad Anaheim Angels first baseman Darin Erstad played football at the University of Nebraska. Maybe that can explain what happened to Atlanta Braves catcher Johnny Estrada on June 6, 2005. Erstad was trying to beat out a throw at home and decided the best way to get there would be to tackle Estrada. After the tackle, Erstad slapped his hand on home plate and was called safe. Estrada lay on the ground for a few minutes, and eventually sent to the DL.

longshot7 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Ersty's my gf's favorite player. Of course, they're both from North Dakota..... Now that I think about it, there was a radio station in ND that broadcasted every Angels game because Darin was on the team. I wonder if they'll switch to the Sox now. Hmmm......
