Your favorite sox player of all time (sorta)?

Who is your favorite sox player of all time?

 

WAIT, THERES A CATCH! It needs to be a player who played in a game that you watched. You can't say teddy if you were born in the '80s, obviously.

 

My favorite has got to be Mo (he was just mentioned in another thread). I was a huuuuuuuuuuge fan back in the day.

[soxin04]

I agree with Mo in first with Nomar in a close second.

Welcome to the site btw

[Tek04]

Varitek is my favorite player on the sox, so underated

 

nice site!

[dirtdogman5]

Being that I have been a fan since '98 because I'm 13, I'd have to say Trot Nixon has been and still is my favorite player. I see him kind of like me because he's a "dirtdog" (hence the username) and isn't afraid to get dirty like me. And not to mention he's very exciting and very clutch.

[kenmoresq]

Yeah, I'd have to go with either Mo or Dwight Evans.

[Sinix]

Looooooooou!

 

I have a foul ball hit by him, September 19th, 2000...

Pedro.

[yagmaster]

i agree with FourZeroSix, Pedro is my favorite. He's so funny, so different, and...o yeah i forgot...SO GOOD. even if he has a down year (which i doubt will happen) he should still be one of the top pitchers in the league, and still my favorite

Pedro did what would be impossible for basically anyone else to accomplish - He made us not necessarily forget, but move on without Roger. Looking at what Pedro has been able to accomplish in his 6 seasons he could arguably the best pitcher the Red Sox have ever had. That would make for an interesting debate in another thread. I'll tell you though.. I've looked at the numbers and what he's done in 6, compared to Rocket's 13 is staggering.

[Benny9Sox7]

time for me to agree wit DDM..... my fav player is Christopher Trotman Nixon... ive met him about 3 times and hes a great guy, plays his heart out just about every game..... second to him would b rico Brogna, u guys memba him?

[CalvnHobs6]

I'm going to have to go with Jason Varitek. He's been on the Sox his whole career, which is for as long as I can remember, and always been a silent leader. Posada ain't got nuthin' on Tek.

[Tek04]

agreed!

 

tek = underated

welcome to the site

[Doomrider40k]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEFIELD!!!!!

 

The knuckler is SO nasty, and because it puts so little strain on his arm, he could pitch forever!

 

20 year career anyone?

[the next gm]

i would have to go with nomar.... but does anyone remember the 80's? greenwell boggs and nick esasky...

Hey, welcome to the site. I like your name by the way.

[roary]

I'm gonna have to go with Nomar. A few years ago when he was in utter complete beast mode i worshipped him. I still love him, even if he can't be 99/2000 nomar.

[PayoffPitch]

Dewey! What an arm that guy had...

 

But Tek and Trot are next-generation favorites.

[Gertie]

out of anyone i've seen? hmm... i might have to go with varitek as well, although i did love mo back in the day, clemens too, before he turned mercenary. i also liked boggs and greenwell if i recall correctly

[mcgilla]

[Zenny]

Favorite player no longer with the Sox has to be John Valentin. He was my boy. He played hard-nosed ball and strung together some solid seasons at SS.

 

Favorite player now has to be Trot. He has more passion for baseball than anyone I've ever witnessed has and can really mash.

[meliaant]

Valentin, Nomar, Trot...but the ultimate Red Sox in my mind is Tim Wakefield, THE MAN

[Jtfire99]

Johnny Damon, i'd say. great fielder, hitter and all around good baseball player.

[YanksHater213]

my top 3 are Tek, Carols Baerga and Trot

Carlos Baerga

Is this a joke? He was terrible!? I see no reason to like him other than his cheerleader like mentality.

yes, i know he sucked, but he was just an all around great guy to have in the club house. he never complained about playing time, and always lightened the mood. he will never and was never an excellent player, but he was a great, team guy

[GreenMonsterSeats]

Clemens, even though I may take some shots for this one. He was unreal. And still is in my mind. One more Cy Young on the way.

[RedSox24]

I'd say my favorite is Mo, the hit dawg. I have his jersey and ive worn it for like 10 years. its all raggy but i still love it. To bad hes always injured now.
