maggsmaggs Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Someone on White Sox interactive said the Sox were close to signing Maddux to a 2-year deal. He heard this from someone on the Score who heard it from a sports beat writer in Seattle. Dunno if it's true, but it would be nice and he would fill seats in his quest for 300. Anybody else heard anything about it? All I know he would raise attendance and have a tremendous impact on Garland and Buerhle (who is like a maddux, but from the left side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 can't see it. Boras is his agent. He's never pitched in the AL. He's more likely headed to San Diego or Arizona. And I can't see the Sox investing the money -- nor do I think it's a good idea considering Maddux's age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 Why the hell does Boras have to be everyone's agent, especially all the free agents that the Sox are always after? Man I hate that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 If we DID get Maddux, I'd be pretty happy. He's always been pretty solid, and he'd bring a bit of publicity, not to mention professionalism and name recognition to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Godfather Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I would love to see the sox get Maddux I think he would be a great fit on the team. Honestly I think he is better then colon even at his age he would be good for 18 wins easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AssHatSoxFan Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 he had at least 15 in like 15 straight seasons or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 He would be great, but still I think we'd still need Ponson, Odalis Perez or Freddy Garcia. At this point in his career Maddux is no more than a solid 2 or 3 starter worth 12-15 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I would love to see us sign Maddus - I hope this rumor is true - it would be great for our young pitchers, great for team attitude, gret PR, great way to stick to that minor league north side team as Maddux goes for 300, wuld bring fans to the park, etc - and Maddux may not care for the AL but it would be Sweet Home Chicago and maybe he doesn;t want to bat any more - this may be bulls*** but if it is true, I hope it comes true soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 Gammons on Sportscenter just said that Maddux will either sign with San Diego or San Francisco, his other possibilities are St. Loius and Arizona if they can clear payroll. I guess he does want to stay in the NL. That's to bad, well Sidney Ponson here we come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Godfather Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 18 wins easy? Nobody and I mean nobody gets 18 wins easy. Try 10 wins easy, and even that's a stretch. You joking right your gonna tell me that Maddux winning 10 games is a stretch?!?!? With our Fire power Maddux would win 18 4-sure he has had one bad year for him which is still a pretty good year for your average pitcher.

I think I'm going to go eat some mayonnaise, because I'm gonna learn more doing that than listening to Gammons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernuke Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Maddux is probably nothing more than an average pitcher at this stage of his career. However I do believe he could bring something to this team. Probably will cost to much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would do so much for the team and especially, like you said, help our young pitchers get mature really fast. DO IT KW!!! DO IT!!!

SnB Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Maddux would be a HUGE boost to our team, even if he didn't have a spectacular year. Just think of what he could do w/ garland and buehrle. If this somehow works out the sox offseason turns around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Consider the Source.. WSI... hAVEN'T WE LEARNED Are they still bumping the thread from three weeks ago where some guy (with "cheese" in his name) predicted a huge trade.....even saying he had inside sources. Was there a website posted from Seattle that validated the claims of Maddux. If not then it doesnt seem right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
