doubleM23 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 OK, here's what ESPN-1000 radio has said... It is 100%, complete... Sox get Colon, give Osuna and Delvis Lantigua to New York and Rocky Biddle, Jeff Liefer, and Orlando Hernandez (from the Yankees.. duh). Sox also recieve minor league infielder from Montreal, Jorge Nunez. HELL YEAH! GOOD f***ING MOVE, KENNY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 zach23, that last post boggles the mind - more than I can contemplate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 This is Cerb from school... ABSOLUTELY FLEECED. Liefer, Biddle, minor leaguer, and Osuna for Colon. FLEECED. Oh man, GREAT trade. Once I get home, I'll post more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach23 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 according to the WS site, all we gave up was Biddle and Liefer! http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/cws/new...s_cws&fext=.jsp No, look closer cw. "Hernandez was obtained from the Yankees, along with cash considerations, for pitcher Antonio Osuna and minor-league pitcher Delvis Lantigua."

cwsox Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 then in my stupidity I missed that one - still a good deal, thanks for the clarification, zach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 good trade and I find it very amusing how something most sox fans believed was impossible for an idiot like KW and cheap ass like JR to do actually did happen. every said it wasn't gonna happen, but it did. and we gave up little for him. now the question is who will we get for the pen and backup OF.

Kempers Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Apparently we are going to sign Tom Gordon to a deal within the next day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Rocky could not get anybody out when the game was on the line. I call it the Kelly Wunsch disease. Even if this trade turns out to be lousy, I will never second guess Kenny for it. Now, while you are in the mood to spend money, go after Vasquez before he goes to arbitration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Apparently we are going to sign Tom Gordon to a deal within the next day or so. Thats sweet if it is true. Writeup will be up in about 10 minutes on the main page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 And for those of us who think that Tina Biddle is a b**** (and I might be in that category) this trade is even more sweet picturing that bimbo getting all confused when everyone is speaking French and no one knows who she is.

Soxplosion Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 So wait a sec, tell me if Ive got this down: TO SOX Bartolo Colon and Jorge Nunez TO YANKEES Antonio Osuna and Delvis Lantigua TO EXPOS Jeff Liefer, Rocky Biddle and Orlando Hernandez Holy crap! Kenny looks like freakin Billy Beane! How did he do that? OMG! The only other good player switching unis is Hernandez and he wasnt even ours! We lost Biddle, Liefer and Osuna for Colon! Those three arent jack next to Bartolo! Whoa! KW, youre awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM23 Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 More than likely, this deal landed in Kenny's lap, and Brian Cashman was prepared to do anything to keep Colon away from Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 More than likely, this deal landed in Kenny's lap, and Brian Cashman was prepared to do anything to keep Colon away from Boston. "The architect of the deal was White Sox general manager Ken Williams, who pursued Montreal GM Omar Minaya once it became clear that the Expos would be trading either Colon or pitcher Javier Vazquez to reduce payroll." Wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I noticed that too. I was real impressed with the whole way Ken Williams manufactured this deal. He was the first to call Minaya and was the one who eventually got the deal done after tons of work. He never gave up and he made a real sweet deal.

Rockysdadswife Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 CWSOX - my dear, dear friend - her name is NOT Tina BIDDLE - her name is Tina GOO-TEE-AIR-EZZZ.
