SoxFanForever Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Reports that the Braves are close to landing Thompson to a deal. Guess Kenny is another target shorter after this one. http://www.foxsports.com/content/view?contentId=1933046 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 This would be a good signing. At 30, he's at a point where he could break out onto the scene and I remember him absolutely shutting us down late last season. He went on to put up very good numbers over the 2nd half of the season and he's gonna get about 3 mill a year. You sign him and you now have your 4th or 5th guy that could turn into a lot more and then the Sox can be a lot more patient looking for that front line guy. I'd think they at least have 2.5-3 mill out there, but I'm sure they won't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I was thinking the same thing as jason... Though, I didn't think he would get that much money.... His past performance screams incentive based contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernuke Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I betcha Kenny takes a gamble on Cory Lidle though...Ugh That would be a great idea. The last fomer Blue Jay pitcher we got won 21 games it's sure to happen two years in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just meant to write what would probably be going through kw's head if he had read it. I should have made that more clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Whats so bad about Lidle, as long as they are bringing him in to be a back of the rotation guy. He's put up pretty solid numbers the past few years and keeps you in games. Now if they want him to be the #2 or 3, then I'd say forget about it.

BrandoFan Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Have people SEEN what Lidle had done as an A in 2001-2002? Not f***ing bad, and if he comes at under 3 Mill, we should maybe gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
