Tnetennba Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 1 hour ago, WhiteSox2023 said: In an already lost season, pitching poorly, and with this new injury (the last two being hindsight I realize), Clevinger appears to be a waste of money just like most of Getz’s other offseason acquisitions. Brebbia — $7 million Maldonado — $4.5 million Nicky Lopez — $4.3 million Mike Clevinger — $3 million Mike Soroka — $3 million Chris Flexen — $1.75 million $23.55 million wasted on complete and utter crap. All players that are DFA candidates. This shouldn't be a surprise. Getz attended the Rick Hahn school of GM'ing after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 1 hour ago, Timmy U said: Any sore elbow has to be considered serious for Clevinger considering he has had TJS twice already. I hope the ligament is so damaged that it cannot be repaired to the point of ever pitching in the bigs again. f*** him. Forever and always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Woodford sucks too. Let's keep that revolving door moving at the bottom of the roster. This team is a joke. Getz fucking sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 It's kind of ironic that we're mentioning another Sox pitcher, Tommy John, in this conversation. Tommy was a good and decent family man. A borderline HoF pitcher and someone any Sox fan would want to introduce their kids to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely incredible to me that JR who apparently wants to win "so badly" and is so fiscally responsible hasn't blown his top over the millions and millions of dollars wasted on has-been's, injury-prone guys, dead beats and stiffs. Just mind blowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 12 hours ago, caulfield12 said: All the other AL Central teams that can't afford to waste all the money that the Sox manage on a yearly basis. But especially CLE and KC. The Royals spent serious money last offseason and just gave Witt close to $300M. I wouldn’t put them in the same category as Jerry especially right now as Jerry looks to trim payroll as they prepare to sell in the near future.

WestEddy Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 This would be a much better feel good story than Clevinger... Johnny Cueto just exercised his opt out from the Rangers.

May be a little too late and close to the deadline to sign him and hope he pitches well enough to build up his value. Plus, this should be the time to give more innings to the Sox own pitching prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just an argument for never trying. If they took the money wasted each and every year on dumpster diving they could gradually sign more 'good' players. All we are doing now is trading any good player we get or develop and wasting millions on garbage. If people thought there was a plan or could see a route to improvement they would be a lot more tolerant of a squad of one or two good players surrounded by developing players or journeymen. At the moment there appears to be no plan and just a scattergun approach to bringing up players and claiming players off waivers then sending players down or DFA ing them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
