letsgoarow Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 for some reason everyone on this site forget how great Joe was for us..... looks like they are starting to remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Through 7 games, yes, he's been great...offensively. Defensively, he's been making really bad throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Ok, well good job Joe keep it up Doesn't change the fact that Fields shouldn't be in AAA right now.. if were gonna keep Joe around then try and deal Fields for something else that can help this team Its still to early, if he keeps it up great then we can use fields to help the club near the deadline.. if not, then well prolly deal Crede for something.. I don't really care, just wanna see them win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf_soxfan Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I never wanted him gone. at the end of '06 he was considered a friggin' franchise player. I know sentiments in baseball (sports in general) turn on a dime, and i recognize that Kenny is in a tough spot with Fields not only hinting at, but demonstrating promise, and contract sh*tuations furthing complicating everything, but Crede is a special player and i want him on the team. You have to be thankful that Williams was not willing to take garbage for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I've been one of the few people who's remained logical about Joe Crede and never changed my position on him. I'm glad he's still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't deal a cheap player that you'll need at 3B next year that has Fields' power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I was in the "we have two very good players at 3rd" camp. We have an over abundance of talent at 3rd. Sadly, instead of celebrating that, it divides Soxdom Even more sad, I'm thinking all this does is make it easier to trade him and get good value.

That's true. However, I don't see Joe going anywhere if the Sox are still in first place (or close) in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I still think Fields is and will be the better player, but if Crede keeps this up it only raises his trade value. No way are we going to sign Crede and trade Fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It's 7 games. I reserve the right to declare I was right or wrong about Crede until at least a few months in. And yeah, kyyle and wite are both dead on with their posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure one week of activity proves durability so is this going to be the new soxtalk trend, if Crede starts having a great season we just discuss how we need to trade him? personally, i would prefer to keep him and try to win this year.

justBLAZE Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I like both Josh and Joe, but for someone coming off a back surgery, BIG PROPS JOE CREDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This thread shouldnt have even been started. What Crede did today is why he is up here is it not? Just dont get your panties in a bunch when Crede leaves this season because his agent thinks he can get more then 15 mil a year and thats all i'll say, and its all that is needed to say. Its 7 games. And why was I wrong about Joe Crede? Pretty sure we know what he did in 06 we should just be glad he is not one of the players that careers fizzle with a bad back injury.

sox-r-us Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Serious question - I have always been a Crede fan and fully expected him to revert to being a solid contributor this year. He is not going to be a 0.350 hitter of course over the course of the season; but what if he continues to be a 0.300 or so hitter with a steady glove and the Sox keep on winning? What do you do at the deadline then? If teams ask for Crede, how can you trade him if you are in a pennant race then??? Especially if it is an AL team that asks for him.... I have a feeling we will keep Crede all year and then make the decision (extend Crede and trade Fields or let him go and get draft picks) at the end of this season.....I know there will be people here crying about how we did not get any overhyped, over-rated spects instead .... but you cannot give up a player if your team is in a pennant race.....that would not sit well in the clubhouse or with the casual fans (White flag).
