“From a defensive standpoint — and I will go out on a limb and say this — he’s going to be one of the top-10 center fielders to ever play out there,”
-Willie Harris (Cubs 3B & OF coach)

This list is from 2009. How about Bob Dernier, Chet Lemon, Gary Maddox (8 GG).

I met Bobby Murcer once as a young Yankees fan at the grand opening of a Roy White sporting goods store in Rockaway Townsquare Mall. Larger than life. Still have his autograph somewhere.

I hate things like this. Let the kid grow and become who he is. He maybe great. He maybe awful. But no need to put any added pressure on him.

Maybe Willie Harris posted here as Keyser Soze because Keyser had Adam Engel going to Cooperstown.

We were all high on Beckham, but I don't know if anyone had him as a HOF'er. I distinctly remember Keyser's boneheaded take that Engel would be a HOF player.

Why has he taken his mother's maiden name into his own last name? That's kind of Beta-ish.

“I’m Talking Superstar…I’m Talking Big-Time Baseball Player".
-Willie Harris on Eloy Jiménez

“They aren’t going to pay him that type of money to sit. I don’t know how to take it. I’m used to it. It’s not the first time they’ve done something like this with me. If that’s their guy, if he’s going to help the team, let’s go. I’m not backing down from him. Hopefully, they don’t just hand him anything.”
—Willie Harris, White Sox second baseman, on the signing of Japanese infielder Tadahito Iguchi to take over at second base.

“Why did I struggle last year? I didn’t play. Now people are going to say, ‘You got over 400 at-bats last year.’ But it’s when you get those at-bats. They were sporadic.”
– Willie Harris, inexplicably making excuses for his best offensive season

vitoSCOTi expending a lot of energy hating on a career backup. He did score the winning run of the World Series. Why would vito hate him so much?

Oh, he's black.

Hawk Harrelson thinks Beckham will turn it all around next year.

Thanks again for your input. I certainly could do this. Always nice to have some cash income for sure.

I could also look to get a job at Hyland Bay. Given how the website looks like it was done with Geocities, I doubt I would have much competition getting a foot in the door.

Mike Cameron had a solid career and was traded for Paul Konerko. That worked out pretty well for the Sox.

You have about three dozen failed prospects to make fun of the Sox for, and you choose Mike Cameron; a career 46 WAR player.
That's higher than Bryant, Willllson, Rizzo, Heyward, Baez, Hendricks, and even Lester. Realistically, Rizzo is the only guy with even a chance to end up better than 46 career WAR.

Good luck on being able to count past ten with your shoes still on.

I have to admit that Hawk had me high on “The very talented” Mike Cameron. My son laughed about that when he got to play with his son.

Cameron had 18+ WAR over 600 games/4 years with Seattle. He was talented.

Not a Hall of Famer like Engel, but he wasn't some scrub like Juiced figured he was.

I cant believe none of these were women. Fucking men. Always men thinking they're so much better than women.
