Coming late to Crede party?

All we heard in the Chicago White Sox offseason was Josh Fields.

The Future.

But there was one thing standing in his way. A back-beffudled Joe Crede, who the White Sox couldn't give away for a sack full of singles. Maybe 10 maple bats would've sweetened the deal.

But Crede started off like a house on fire, whatever that means, hitting 7 HR in April and you couldn't even find a blog calling for Josh Fields call-up.

But after his 7th HR on April 29th, Crede went 15 starts without a HR, and worse, 12 of those games he went hitless.

Crede was getting dropped faster free dial-up connections, when suddenly, Friday and Saturday happened.

Crede smacked a pair of HR each night, including 6 RBI Saturday. Of course, after 2 swats Friday night, i was 90 percent ready to pull the trigger, but decided to wait one more night.

After Crede's early 3-run jack, I picked him up. Then watched in agony as Crede blasted another 3-run homer. 


It's like finding out the cute girl at school was single, but now she was dating the quarterback.

Although last night's Crede experience it wasn't as bad as one member in our league, who picked up Jayson Werth early on the day he went off for 3 HR and 8 RBI, possibly the worst fantasy karma of all time.

Here's Crede's grand slam in the first week at U.S. Cellular Field.
