He's a catcher in the same way Vizquel or Pierre are a threat to go yard (boo-yah!) in any given at-bat.

 

Great arm...the mental/strategic side of the game, preparation, working with pitchers, calling pitches and setting up opposing hitters....TOTAL FAIL. And it's sad, he has some great physical tools, speed for a catcher, etc.

 

Well except neither of them are supposed to be home run hitters, Olivo is supposed to be a catcher.

I voted for Uribe because I think he'd be a great upgrade over Vizquel for the bench, plus I rather see Uribe getting spot starts at 2nd, shortstop, and 3rd instead of Vizquel.

 

Vizquel just seems like a waste of a roster spot, almost as bad as having Lillibridge on the roster.

Humberto Quintero. Just kidding.

 

I'll go with Frank Francisco and Chris B. Young or Ryan Sweeney.

 

Because Francisco makes our pen that much better, and Sweeney/Young don't soak up all of Rios' contract dollars.

 

I like it. Lets get the guy with the 7.88 ERA & 1.88 WHIP who already lost his closers role and was on the DL 3 times last year. He can throw a chair with the best of them too.

It's much, much simpler than that. He's a "catcher" but he has a ton of trouble catching the ball. He's at the very bottom of the league in doing so.

 

This is a good, if not tedious at times, read.

Because SouthSider, as much as I hate to admit it, he was right sometimes. You can't draw any conclusions 3 weeks into the season about Frank Francisco OR Dayan Viciedo, Pods versus Pierre, etc. In football terms, we're 1-1 to start the year and still have 14 games to make up ground on the 2-0 team in Minnesota.

 

I fought with that guy as much as anyone on the Internet, but that's the one quote I always remember...and I should reference back to it from time to time, it would prevent me from being a Dark Cloud and starting numerous threads micro-analyzing the Sox after every loss and still finding things to be concerned about after even some wins.

Except he did it all of the time and was completely in-your-face about it. Need I mention Colon?

Well, he was definitely wrong about one thing, Kenny Williams being on the way out....funny now, looking back on those days when we'd debate Ritchie for Wells/Fogg/Lowe and Valentin versus Clayton over and over again.

 

I actually got to know ColSat46 (I think he's died since then) and baggio pretty well over there, both great guys.

 

However, I drew the line when he made personal threats relating to my family and lots of other over-the-top things....I never could understand how he could get me banned so often, it's like he was the one moderating the board. Quite mysterious.

 

So I was saddened and both relieved when I found out about his eventual demise on the SOX boards.
