Gerald Williams may have little offensive baseball talent - but, according to many, he is a very well respected and liked man. Hardly a punk. Now, the person that Rickey would replace on the Sox roster, Michael Coleman, well, Momma always said, if you don't have anything nice to say............so, I'll stop there. You shouldn't hate Gerald Williams because he had the courage to call Pedro what he is - a guy you throws at hitters intentionally. (As the stats back up - http://www.netshrine.com/brushback.html )

I'm pretty sure Gerald Williams spends a lot of time and money helping out poor families and stuff - supposedly one of the classiest guys in the sport.
Back to Rickey - think he would make a good part-time player/coach who could teach a young team's guys plate discipline?

Supposedly, Rickey did a lot of mentoring to Cedeno when they were on the Mets - - in terms of how to steal bases.

SD paper reporting that Rickey is likely Boston-bound

Did you know that, in the long storied history of the Red Sox, only 11 men have had 30+ SB in a season?
Since 1934, they've only had three men do it. Rickey should join that group.

Net we have had this discussion before. Let's just agree to disagree. You see Gerald one way and I see him another way.
I have nothing to say about Coleman. We have had that act before......show him the door.

This is probably off topic, but upon what do you base your assessment of Gerald Williams? I am truly just curious -- especially given all of the other-side-of-the-fence "facts" concerning Williams. I don't know enough about the guy (punk-wise or not) either way -- even though he spent time here in Atlanta. I don't recall him being much on the radar screen -- for good or for bad. |
