| November 28, 2006 The White Sox do not anticipate signing Joe Crede to a long-term deal, according to the Chicago Tribune. "Everybody knows how I feel about Joe Crede," GM Kenny Williams said. "I wish I could have him on the club the next five years. But I do not anticipate any long-term deal there. I don't see that happening under the current landscape." |
| November 23, 2006 The LA Times reports that the Angels could still make a trade this offseason, possibly for third baseman Joe Crede. "We might look here and there to see if there's someone who might help us," GM Bill Stoneman said. "Obviously, our options are more limited than what they were." |
| October 28, 2006 The White Sox still are waiting to hear from Joe Crede regarding whether he will undergo surgery to repair his ailing back, according to the Chicago Tribune. Crede had been seeking a second opinion. If he has the procedure within the next month, he'll have sufficient time to recover before spring training. |
| October 2, 2006 After meeting last month with a specialist, Joe Crede said he was leaning against having surgery to repair his troublesome back, according to the Chicago Tribune. "But I'm going to get another opinion from a doctor and see what he has to say," Crede said. "He's done these surgeries before. It's a very minor surgery. You walk in and walk out. There's no lying up in bed. They make a very small incision." |
| September 30, 2006 White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen sat six regulars on Saturday, Joe Crede, Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko, A.J. Pierzynski, Jim Thome and Juan Uribe, because the game was an early day game following a night game, according to the AP. |
| September 27, 2006 Joe Crede was given the night off Wednesday, one of several regular White Sox who did not start. With Crede battling a sore back and the game played in wet conditions, it's not hard to see why Ozzie Guillen played it safe here. Crede is considered day-to-day. |
| September 25, 2006 Joe Crede said he hopes to avoid offseason surgery on his troublesome lower back, according to the Chicago Tribune. "I think the biggest thing will be rest for it," said Crede. "It definitely helped last year, getting rest in the offseason. We'll explore options and see what happens this winter. But I don't think surgery is needed, and I was told by a specialist that it's not needed." |
| September 23, 2006 Joe Crede returned to the lineup Saturday and went 1-for-3 with a walk. He's been battling a sore back, and he was in an 0-for-25 funk entering the game. |
| September 23, 2006 Joe Crede was held out of the lineup in the hope he might snap out of an 0-for-25 slump, according to the Daily Southtown. Josh Fields started in place of Crede at the hot corner. "Joe is struggling right now at the plate; obviously, everybody knows," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Besides, I was gonna give him a rest because (today) is a day game. I just try to get the guys that are healthy on the field. He's fine to play, but I gave him one day off." |
| September 9, 2006 Joe Crede missed his third consecutive game Saturday with a sore lower back, according to the AP. He indicated that the pain was improving, but he wanted to stay cautious. Crede also said that surgery might be an option for the offseason. "It's a possibility. It's something that we are going to discuss and explore our options and kind of go from there," Crede said. |
| September 9, 2006 A sore back kept Joe Crede out of action Friday for the second consecutive game, according to the Daily Southtown. "He should be playing (today), we hope," manager Ozzie Guillen said. |
| September 8, 2006 Joe Crede (back) isn't expected to play again until Saturday, though Ozzie Guillen says he's not too concerned, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "We've been dealing with this the last two years," Guillen said after Thursday's game. "He's been playing through it." |
| September 7, 2006 Joe Crede was out of the lineup Thursday night with a sore back, according to the AP. He underwent treatment and is scheduled to visit a doctor. Manager Ozzie Guillen said Crede might also sit Friday night and try to return for the third game of a series with Cleveland on Saturday. |
| August 7, 2006 As expected, Joe Crede remained sidelined Sunday after leaving Saturday's game early due to a stiff back, according to the Daily Southtown. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said he expected Crede to be back in the starting lineup on Monday. |
| August 5, 2006 Joe Crede left Saturday's game in the fourth inning with back stiffness, according to the AP. Manager Ozzie Guillen said Crede won't play Sunday. He said he's day-to-day. "I took him out when I saw him grab his back," Guillen said. "I'll make sure he's ready to play when we get home. It's nothing big. It's not a big deal. I just don't want to take a chance with him." |
| July 16, 2006 After missing Saturday's game with a bruised right calf, Joe Crede hopes to return to action on Sunday, according to the Daily Southtown. "I expect him to play (today)," said manager Ozzie Guillen, "but we will see how he feels." |
| July 15, 2006 Joe Crede sat out Saturday's game with a bruised right calf after he was hit by a pitch from Randy Johnson on Friday night, according to the AP. Alex Cintron started in his place. Crede is day-to-day. |
| July 14, 2006 Joe Crede left Friday's game after he was hit by a pitch, according to the AP. No further information is known at this time. |
| July 5, 2006 Joe Crede was in the lineup Wednesday after being forced out in the fourth inning on Tuesday after Baltimore's Rodrigo Lopez hit him with a pitch in the forearm. "It's just bruised," Crede told the AP. "It hit a nerve yesteday and I was just having a little trouble moving it yesterday. But everything's OK today." |
| July 5, 2006 After being hit by a pitch on his left forearm during the third inning, Joe Crede was forced to leave Tuesday's game, according to the Daily Southtown. Precautionary X-rays came back negative. "(We'll have) two lineups (today) just in case Joe can play," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "I don't expect him to play. He got hit pretty good. I know he's going to be sore." |
| June 12, 2006 White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said he might rest Joe Crede on occasion when they play a day game following a night game to take it east on the third baseman's back, according to the Daily Southtown. Crede required an epidural injection to calm back spasms before returning to action on Sunday. |
| June 11, 2006 Joe Crede was back in the lineup on Sunday night after missing Friday and Saturday's games with back spasms, according to the AP. "We had the epidural the other day (Friday) and that calmed things down and made it feel a little better," Crede said. |
| June 11, 2006 After missing two games with back spasms, Joe Crede hopes to return to action this evening, according to the Daily Southtown. "I just wanted to be a little extra cautious with it and then I can go from there," Crede said. "We'll see what happens. I think [playing Sunday is] a possibility." |
| June 10, 2006 Joe Crede was out of the starting lineup on Saturday for a second straight game while recovering from back spasms, according to the AP. He had to leave Thursday's game against the Tigers when he hurt his back on a swing and received an epidural on Friday. "It's not as bad as last year," said Crede. "It's just a spasm. Deal with it and move on," |
| June 9, 2006 Joe Crede sat out Friday's game due to the back spasms that forced him from Thursday's game. Pablo Ozuna got the start at third in his place and batted second. Crede is day-to-day with the injury. |
| June 8, 2006 Joe Crede left Thursday's contest against the Tigers in the third inning with irritation in his lower back, according to the AP. He suffered the injury when he slid hard into second base in the second inning. With Crede out, Alex Cintron moved over to third base while Juan Uribe entered the game to play short. |
| April 5, 2006 Joe Crede didn't start Wednesday's game against Cleveland because of the flu, according to the AP. Crede should be back in the lineup Friday when the White Sox travel to Kansas City. |
| February 25, 2006 The Daily Southtown reports that Joe Crede will continue batting ninth for now, assuming Brian Anderson (who would bat eighth) secures the starting job in center field. |
| February 25, 2006 White Sox GM Ken Williams said yesterday that at some point this season he would like to work out a multi-year contract to keep Joe Crede in the fold. However, Crede will have to prove that the two herniated discs in his back aren't a long-term issue and the club will have to deal with agent Scott Boras, something they've avoided in the past. |
| January 17, 2006 The White Sox avoided arbitration with Joe Crede Tuesday by signing the third baseman to a one-year contract worth $2.675 million, according to the AP. Crede hit .252 with 22 dingers and 61 RBI last year. |
