Sam Fuld - 2007 AFL MVP

[minnesotacubsfan]

Is Fuld a better option than Murton?

No way in one of the corners, easily in center.

 

 

1908, DID YOU BUY THAT JERSEY IN YOUR AVATAR?

It's an image of his official Chunichi Dragons road jersey. I don't own one.

Am I the only person left who didn't know that he had diabetes?

 

No doubt him and Ron are friends.

Who is "he". Sam Fuld?

Who is "he". Sam Fuld?

Yes.

I want Fuld to get the CF job over Pie. I think Fuld will be the superior hitter and fielder.

 

Based on what?

Did Pie ever win the AFL MVP?

Did Pie ever win the AFL MVP?

Not yet, but he's got until 2010 to do so and still be younger than Fuld when Sam won it.

Fuld winning the AFL MVP is like a kid who's been held back twice dominating 8th grade basketball.

Not even a remotely applicable analogy.

You get my point. It's a nice thing for him. He's still a low ceiling guy.

I hope you know I was being sarcastic.

I did, no worries. I wouldn't seriously engage anyone in a debate about Sam Fuld anyway.

Yep. It's just like how all black people know eachother. :wink:

While it is a great honor for Fuld I have a hard time getting excited over AFL MVP since the last "cub" to win it was Kevin Orie (remember him?).

Don't worry. No one else really cares.

Come on now. I care. I think it's great that Fuld won the AFL MVP. I'm not going to write off a guy simply because someone else wants to make a blanket statement that anyone who wins an AFL MVP award is comparable to or will never be anything more than Kevin Orie. That's silly.

 

Whether Fuld amounts to anything remains to be seen. But, if his success in the AFL and future success in AAA or as the 5th outfielder for the Cubs increases his trade value or gives us a cheap bench option for the next few years, I couldn't be happier.

 

Why wouldn't anyone not care at all? There are numerous examples of guys who were not projected as top prospects that ended up having long and great careers in the major leagues. I liken cheering for a guy like Fuld to rooting for the underdog.

 

And there's really nothing wrong with that at all.
