suffering-nomore-sox fan Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 While it would be great to have problems like this, isn't Colon our 1 starter if we get him, And wouldn't Kenny be getting some revenge on Mark by relegating him to the #2 spot (as well as holding down his salary).

supernuke Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I would leave Mark as the number 1, Colon does have more expierience but I think Mark is the better pitcher. However I wouldn't put it past kw to order manuel drop mark to #2 he seems to enjoy doing petty things like that in order to try and maintain his control.

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 you have a point there.. revenge is kw's favorite thing... look at what he did to guys like lowe, and parque when they opened up their mouths......i would imagine if in fact we did land colon here kw would ship mark down to aa just for spite..........its typical of him.........

Chisoxfn Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I don't care, they are both aces in my book. Whose #1 and 2 depends soley on the order, not on the talent. Look at Johnson and Schilling...I don't think they care who is classified as the ace, they are both aces. This would be an unbelievable pickup and I sure hope the sox can do it.

UrbanaSox83 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I think that if Kenny gets a deal for Colon, he deserves some credit from his critics for giving the team two established pitchers. I'm not calling for Kenny's head just yet, the team hasn't had a losing record in his two years (of course, they haven't been in the race for the division either), and there are other teams who are in much worse situations than the Sox (Detroit, KC, Baltimore...) Course Kenny may not get Colon, and if that happens, well he better be prepared for anything this season...they could pull off a 2000 95-win season, or meander in AverageLand the whole year. It's a good thing February has only 28 days...that much closer to spring training! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
