SOX Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 He said that if he leans to the left he pitches to the first base side and if he stands straight it goes to the 3rd base side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Word has relayed thru WSI and from the score that Crede is having back surgery tomorrow. Me thinks we've seen the last of Joe in a Sox uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 09:05 PM) I highly doubt they would have pulled Eaton in the 6th inning. Not sure about that with the way he pitched that inning. They had Zagurski warming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me thinks we've seen the last of Joe in a Sox uniform. Awesome. Not only will he leave this organization without compensation, but it's obvious his trade value is nonexistent. Considering Fields would have replaced him next season, there's one less trading chip. Williams needs to receive huge huals for any players dealt. Young talent needs to be injected into our system somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of Nordhagen Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(S(Pride)X @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 09:07 PM) He said that if he leans to the left he pitches to the first base side and if he stands straight it goes to the 3rd base side. Not going to lay this anywhere but the offense, BUT -- When I turned on the game in the 6th, it was 2-0 and the Phils were up. There was one out. I flipped over to the Sopranos, confident that Vazquez would give up another run in THAT INNING. Because he's about a 4.5 ERA guy, with no brains, and no heart. (And $11 million per year.) He can't possibly pitch 6 innings and not give up 3 runs. Can't do it. Sure enough, after watching Paulie Walnuts get promoted to head of the Cifaretto crew, I turned back to see that Javier had given up his magical 3rd run in 6 innings or less. Like death and taxes and, oh, mediocrity: ladies and gentlemen, our pal, Javier Vazquez! Edited June 12, 2007 by Friend of Nordhagen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he declined the surgery, he should have been traded. KW had to know he'd never sign him to a big deal with his lingering back issue. Here's a rarity for me lately: I'm going to defend Kenny Williams. I have no idea what, if anything, he was offered for Crede. But, as a general idea, I was in favor of holding onto Joe. He's one of those core guys -- gritty, very good defender, outstanding in the clutch, and seemingly key to the makeup of this team when it's been at its best. Just a hunch, but I think that he was worth more to us than what we could've gotten in trade, especially because his back condition -- not the extent of it but certainly the possibility of how bad it could be -- was pretty well known. I feel the same way about Buehrle, by the way. He's a White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle was a good pitcher coming off a career bad year, Crede is a bad hitter coming off a career good year, with back problems, and our top prospect behind him, plus a crazy agent.
