[Sizzlin22]

No no, because no one has mentioned him. He is a god in my eyes. That catch in 75.. woosh.

Ok WHEW just checking, Yeah both me and SFoC mentioned him earlier.

Don't we all.

[SCM33]

Jeff Frye-loved watching the guy hit, always took pitches....great little ballplayer. .290 career average, .357 career OBP...injuries took their toll.

 

Troy o"leary- The best first half hitter in baseball.....he always forgot there were two halves of a season.

 

Jamie Moyer- I was infuriated they traded the guy in 96 with a 7-1 record, went on to win many many games.

 

Mike Stanley- The definition of professional.

 

Johnny Valentin- 95' style....double machine, speed, pop.....then the knees went. Above average third baseman after the switch.

 

Reggie Jefferson- the guy could rake, and was never really given a chance anywhere fulltime.

 

Mo Vaughn- you never know what would have happened had he never left. What if he did stay? What if he didnt gain the weight? Unofficial captain.

 

Leyritz- loved watching him hit, dont know why...very unique batting stance.

 

Daubach- owned big league pitching for half a season. You knew what you would get.

 

Darren Lewis- major league record for games without an error. wish we had a guy like him today rather than willie harris

 

Mike Benjamin- great utility player, quiet, steady

 

Obviously Pedro, Nomar, Lowe

 

My hate list:

Lansing-atrocious

ArroJo-never figured it out, had a rubber arm and everyhting moved

Wilton Veras- monster frame, no power

Lomasney- our farm was so awful we had a 27 year old catcher who was a "prospect"

Offerman- we were told he would replace some of the contributions Vaughn left

Avery- replacement for Clemens, worked out well

Chris Stynes- big year in CIN, bad year with us

Jeff Suppan

BK Kim

Kevin Mitchell

Ed Sprague

Butch Huskey

Wil Cordero

Michael Coleman- see "Lomansney"

Rudy Pemberton- had a good few weeks and we name him starting RF the next season

Arquimedez Pozo-was supposed to be a power hitting 3B prospect

Alcantara-what a waste of power

Psycho Carl- nutbag

[Cocos Disciples]

rich garces, ed sprague, hipolito pichardo

[ImissPedro]

Tom Brunansky was good when he was here too, never forget that diving catch to clinch to 1990 AL East if I remember correctly?

speaking of wich he is off to a great start 5-0 with a 2.94 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and oponants just hitting .165 off him !

I am not surprised. He is well on his way to another All Star year. Unless he falls apart next year and can't put up 14 or 15 wins, the FO made a huge mistake in not giving him the 4th year.

Reggie Jefferson....very underrated hitter. Played 1B/LF/DH, career in Boston: .316AV .363OB% .505SLG over 5 seasons.

 

Erik Hanson....I began watching every game in 1995, he was one of the reasons.

 

Stan Belinda....same as above

 

Tony Pena, dont know why....just always liked him.

 

Mo Vaughn....first real complete hitter I followed.

 

Billy Hatcher....I was at the game he stole home plate.

 

Aaron Sele....first pitching "prospect" I remember growing up.

 

Rich Garces.......just because he was fat AND good.

 

Arquimedez Pozo.....dont remember who he was traded for, but Duquette sold me on him as a slugging prospect....never did a thing though. Cool name.

 

Mike Benjamin.....those crazy sideburns.

Jim Leyritz and his crazy batting stance bat twirl.

 

Bret Saberhagen

 

Brian Daubach

 

......I guess I liked alot of the former players haha.

[Spudboy]

"Arquimedez Pozo.....dont remember who he was traded for, but Duquette sold me on him "

 

 

 

Hey, Shouldn't he be nominated for The TalkSox Hall of Name?

[yeszir]

Mo Vaughn

John Valentin

 

I always liked Reggie Jefferson too. They were just the guys that were always around when I first started watching the team.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I will always love Nixon, Pedro, Mueller, Millar, Damon, Foulke, (despite my rantings of 2005), and Schilling, for what they brought the team in 2004. Bill Buckner, because he got an unfair attitude from a lot of people, which is obvious.

[redsoxrules]

David Ortiz.

 

Is still a Red Sox

[Youk Of The Nation]

Is still a Red Sox

 

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. If you didn't I might have thought Coco was being sardonic about Ortiz's lack of production this season or something stupid like that.

[Cocos Disciples]

^ Good thing he did, since that would be a colossal error.
