DBAHO Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Wasn't $1M as some were speculating. Pretty decent signing for a 4th/5th OF. Good clubhouse guy who can hit at the top or bottom of the order, you could do worse for a 5th OF based on 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Good. He's one of those guys who figured something out at age 30 about hitting. Also the only guy on the team with a track record for picking up a bat and going in there cold to PH Edited December 12, 2008 by Princess Dye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 He's not worth it, but it's not enough money for me to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChrisSamsa Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 if he's our fifth outfielder, i'm ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 He shouldnt even be on this team. He is a good mid season filler, but if you go into the season with Wise on your roster you are in deep trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how bad he performs, I doubt we are in "deep trouble" because of how he performs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I have little problem with this. It's now down to him and Owens for the starting CF job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think that is a WISE move to sign Dewayne WISE. He has speed and showed some clutch hitting and also is a decent OF'er. Very much worth the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea, but unless you really expect him to be starting come April 1st, the point still holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't think the Sox are seeing him as a starter, but I suppose anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know this, so we may as well just admit it. In a division loaded with major CF talent it's a shame that this guy will probably wind up playing a lot of games out there for us.

Lemon_44 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Not a bad deal. He's a decent bench guy and good clubhouse guy. That's pretty much what you want from a 5th OF. I just hope Ozzie doesn't think he's an everyday player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
