Kyyle23 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 07:34 PM) Then why wasn't all the hate directed to the manager? People are smart. They should know. The guy can play baseball. He's a good reserve. aside from the 4 or 5 good plays you always point out, what about the rest of his career? The sun shines on even a dogs ass sometimes. And again, you always say that people hate him(and it is insane) where the reality is that people point out to you that for his career he has been a .217 hitter with a .256 OBP. Your definition of quality has always been sketchy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He glides after the f***ing ball. He's a quality reserve. He just is. And some of the posts comments about him bordered on hate. Hate may not be too strong a word.

Steve9347 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Kyle ftw. Yeah, why did I just justify our hate of dweezy. Dude can't play. If there were a designated fielder, he'd be a quality player, though. Edited July 7, 2010 by Steve9347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just do. again, you fail to notice that the game of baseball isnt about one single moment, rather about an entire 162 game season comprised of many moments by many players. Mariano Rivera would eat him for lunch if he cared to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Dude can't play. Uh the uniform he is wearing begs to differ. He is playing ... and excelling tonight in the big leagues. He is a quality bench guy. How can you not see that? There is value in his speed and glove and occasional pop. He had some big hits for the white sox as well as THE CATCH. I like Wise. Some of you act like praising him for the catch is a bad thing. It was a great great moment in Sox history. WTF.

He had some big hits for the white sox as well as THE CATCH. I like Wise. We KNOW He is a quality bench guy. How can you not see that? There is value in his speed and glove and occasional pop. How you can see that he is a quality bench guy while completely ripping on Mark Teahan(and I am not a big fan of Teahan at this point) just amazes me. You know a guy who had speed and occasional pop? Jerry Owens. Maybe we should extol the virtues of the one time he hit a homerun and talk about him every time his name shows up in the paper. That would be fun QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) Some of you act like praising him for the catch is a bad thing. It was a great great moment in Sox history. WTF. No greg, you act like the catch he made absolves him from being a fringe baseball player and makes his lifetime stats ignorable. The fact of the matter is that there are many players in the majors and the minors that could of made that catch, it just happened that Wise was there to do it. I thank him for it, and so does Buehrle, but it doesnt make him a good bench player because he had one good moment He is playing ... and excelling tonight in the big leagues. moment.

kev211 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Dewayne Wise is not a quality Major League Baseball player the numbers speak for themselves. Ya he made the catch, but he also dropped a ball causing an inside the park homer. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 He has no right to be on a big league roster for any sustained period of time. I've written on here I have no problem with Teahen playing 2 times a week or being a key reserve. I don't deny he has a spot in the big leagues. As a regular? And a 3rd baseman? No. And that line above is just bulls***. Wise has a job now and should have one. You think he can't help a big league baseball team on a limited basis?

You think he can't help a big league baseball team on a limited basis? If you mean for two weeks while having a hot streak then sure he can help. He is not a "key reserve" or anything else you make him out to be. He is a AAA ballplayer who can be called up on short notice and hopefully play defense for a week and not screw things up too bad. Although he probably will hurt your team in that scenario as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Anderson can do both better than Wise. There are also plenty of guys you can get for your bench that can run, field, and also hit at least .240 and get on base at a better than .277 clip in their career year.
