Heads22 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Swish gets a lot of bases loaded opportunities. Not quite sure what that means. Plodders..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Terrible by Swisher...good to know he's trying to hit it as far as possible in batting practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Not often this season have we seen Dye, Thome and Paulie on bases at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaseballNick Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 06:58 PM) So Paul Konerko has better numbers, makes less, accomplished a lot more in his career yet doesn't get a shred of the hype that Young gets. See where we're coming from? I don't know about all of that. Do you really think he's accomplished more and gets a lot more hype? Young isn't looked at as a power guy like Paulie is, yet he hits .300 and knocks in 90-100 runs each year...and he plays short stop. If Gordon Beckham can be a Michael Young kind of player, I think we'd be pretty lucky as Sox fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See where we're coming from? Or that Cabrera's petty. I won't miss him when he leaves. Chase Utley who happens to be 1000X the player that Michael Young is signed an extension 2 months apart from Young in '07. Utley will earn $15M a year for his first 4 possible free agency eligible seasons. Michael Young got $16M. The Rangers overpaid by about $35M.

fathom Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 What is the deal with Crede just trying to hit it to right field? He has no power the opposite way, so it makes no sense. Crede and Swisher are killing this offense tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crede has 124 career homeruns, a grand total of 4 of those homers have been hit between right center and right field. It makes zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Utley is one of the best players in the game. I'm just trying to say Michael Young is a good player. That's all. I don't care what he gets paid, that's between him, his agent and the team.
