Id have to take Brian Anderson off your list because he didnt really play that much and he had a lot of people who were big fans as well. Id also take out Koch because unlike the others on the list he would always admit he sucked which took off some of the hate. Erstad definitely for 07.

I know you said 2007 you said take your pick-- I definitely say Andy Gonzalez and his .864 fielding% at 3B. 9 errors in 66 chances? *shudder*

 

He had a -11.2 UZR fielding the ball that year.

 

He was also worth -2.2 wins.

2008- Juan Uribe

 

Not after Crede got hurt. Uribe got a lot of love for that turn around and his great play at 3b. I was sad to see him go after realizing his versatility, but not that sad.

My opinions of the whipping boys you stated. ...

 

2002: Most of the starting staff: I can't remember those guys.

 

 

2003: Billy Koch: He deserved all criticism. Total hack.

 

 

2004: Timo Perez: I didn't get worked up over such a non factor.

 

 

2005: Timo Perez: See above.

 

 

2006: Brian Anderson: He was such a bad hitter it was sad more than mad.

 

 

2007: Take your pick

 

 

2008: Nick Swisher: I despised him. he sucked as a Sox.

 

 

2009: DeWayne Wise: I worshiped him.

 

 

2010: Mark Kotsay: Don't like him a bit.

 

 

I thought Garland took a lot of heat on here.

Also, Pods, Bobby Jenks, Liney (deservedly so) and Randy Williams (deservedly so).

Erstad also was horrible and deserved the criticism but he also was so bad you almost felt sad for him.

you know, were'nt people more pissed at ozzie in 2006 for playing mack in CF? I probably could misremember a lot of posts from 4 years ago, but it's like hating...i guess vizquel...they were great if you played them as the super utility bench guy, but not when you play them every day, especially mack in his worst position probably, you expose why they are utility guys.
