keegandr Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Juan Uribe has the bent batting stance in the game by default. I need to know if that is the most accurate stance and if not which one is better. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deznuts Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Yes, that is probably the most accurate stance for him. And he takes a huge cut at the ball when he swings, similar to a golf swing. When he swings, his bat goes loose after his cut. He does look a little bit heavier than 175 pounds though. He looks like he has a little gut. What a great trade, Uribe kicks ***! He is our shortstop of the future once Jose Valentin retires. Then we will have the speedy infield of Uribe and Willie Harris. Those two guys at the top of the order will kick *** for a long time. First time the Sox have had some speed in awhile. UPDATE: I just watched the Twins vs. Sox game today and Uribe was wearing sunglasses with silver rims. He was also wearing black elbow pads, black and white batting gloves, and black Nike cleats. He also has a goatee beard on his chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keegandr Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Thanks for the help I have him on the cardinals now and just wanted to be as accurate as possible. By the way I am from St. Louis and So is your boy Mark Buehrle, have you seen his attributes in the game they made him suck.. Bastards!!! Bad start last year not bad pitcher.... :banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gqguysd Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 except for the fact Willie Harris can't hit more than .230! what good is speed if you can't get on base? In addition to your popping bubble, if Uribe couln't make it in Colorado... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keegandr Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 I do have to agree about willie harris except he will hit better than .230. Uribe on the other hand will be a minor star if he keeps focused. What do you think would be proper pitching attributes for Buehrle? I just think his cutter for certain is better than that. I'm sure you've pitched with him in the game I get hammered with his cutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to your popping bubble, if Uribe couln't make it in Colorado... I know it's still early in the season but Willie Harris is hitting .302 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6798 Also, Juan Uribe is hitting .328 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6698 I don't know how it was a bad idea to trade for these guys. We gave up Chris Singleton for Willie Harris. Harris was a top 2nd base prospect in the minors. Singleton isn't even in the majors anymore. We traded a decent 2nd base prospect in Aaron Miles for Juan Uribe but he hasn't been spectacular either. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=7228 You can rip on the trades all you want but so far the White Sox have gotten the better end of both deals. Uribe is playing so well that Ozzie Guillen has moved Willie Harris to CF in place of the struggling Aarond Rowand so Uribe can start at 2B. And yes, Willie Harris has learned how to bunt this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
