Steff Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Yeah, he's with the Marlins right now but oye! would he look good in a Sox uniform. Great speed and a ton of desire for the game. If the current Sox roster had one ounce of this kids desire.. we'd have won 60 games easily by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaiza21 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 He's a Devil Ray. Which means we could probably unload 3 prospects for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 The marlins as in, the rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI1020 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 We saw him in the orange juice dome a couple of weeks back. I thought Huff, Baldelli and Crawford were good players. The D Rays, don't laugh might not be too bad in a couple of years. Baldelli can fly on the base paths and in center field. He looks to have a great future.

whitesox247 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Maybe they'll take Koch.. They've got their lights-out All-Star closer Lance Carter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbaho-WG Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 OVERRATED! He needs to walk more and then he'll live up to his hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 would you put down baseball prospectus for one second and look at what he's doing. he's hitting .301 for a s***ty team, which is better than anyone's average on the sox. he can play d, he can fly, he plays hard.

Rex Hudler Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 OVERRATED! He needs to walk more and then he'll live up to his hype. Yeah, let's hope he doesn't hit like Pete Rose or Tony Gwynn. That would be terrible. He'd be way overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Give me a break, people are going apes*** over a .327 OBP. Also, Tony Gwynn averaged 40 walks a year, Rose 65. Baldelli is on apce to amass a great total of...23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPSOX12 Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I believe that he is one of Lou Pinellas untouchables . Otherwise I'd love to see him in a sox uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what he's doing, he's getting on base at a 33% clip. It sucks, get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 He's also a freakin rookie that is barely 21 years old, IF he is. He's also the same kid that didn't draw a single walk in over 100 plate appearences in AAA last year. Don't get me wrong, I like the kid, he just isn't the "future" of the game like many believe he will be. Plate discipline is probably the hardest thing to learn in all of baseball, other than to hit.

This is my point of view on Baldelli's future. His amazing natural born talent is something that cannot be taught, but being more and more patient is something that can be taught. I believe the sky is the limit for this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
