Nah, but i can see Betemit being a good deal better than Crede has been since his back troubles set in. Betemit will be more than tolerable, he won't be 2006 Crede certainly, but he'll be more than adequate assuming his bat kicks in.

I can agree with that. Crede in 2007 and 2008 was just not the same guy on defense. Which made me sad, as I really loved watching him play over there before his back issues just got too much.

Now that I know the trade is legit, I will say that PEDs was not the only issue Swisher had off the field. For his sake, I hope he cleans up his act.

In all seriousness, would you like to back up this slanderous allegation?

In writing it's Libel.

Thank you Sir Balta.

 

I don't like these types of sweeping statements. If he gets hammered every night, it doesn't really matter... but the way that statement was written, as fact, without anything to back it up, was a joke.

Swisher might be the most overrated Sox player since I started following the team in '83.

by who? Ozzie and the Sox demoted him in the order and he lost playing time at the end of the year, he got slammed on this board. He has a fun personality that people enjoyed. IMO Oz missused him. He will likely never hit for a crazy average.

Swisher reminds me of Kyle Farnsworth, who was too busy enjoying extracurricular activities than preparing his body for the full season.

One of the benefits of a board like this one is that there are some people who have various connections to people around the league or around the team, so we can occasionally be privy to more rumors that may have a level of truth. It's however up to each person to decide how much they want to believe. If a person makes a statement like that, then they feel like it's information that other people might be interested in but they don't want/need to reveal their sources since it's just a bloody message board.

Like someone seeing a particular playing doing blow off of a stripper's chest in the locker room after a minor league game?
