traydragen Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 who is this new cat we signed and is he worth my time even starting this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 He won 15 games for Philadelphia in 2001 but ran into arm problems in 2002 and missed 2003. He has never been very consistent. Signing him could compare to signing Loaiza last year. I liked Loaiza better because he had for the most part remained healthy and although he was never great, he piled up innings. Person is coming off basicallya year and a half off, so I wouldn't get visions of 21 wins from him, but if he is healthy, he could contribute.

Chisoxfn Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Person isn't a catcher, but he is a pitcher. Person won 15 games a few years ago and has pretty good stuff. He's one of those guys that never really met his potential and then had some arm trouble. If he is healthy he could turn into a quality right handed reliever in the pen. Considering the Sox budget, he was a solid pickup and they will probably pickup a few more players like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie came up with Minny, Person with I believe Baltimore, and then both returned to the same respective divisions of their first MLB team later on in their career(Ritchie to the White Sox, Person to the Red Sox). Then both got injured too, and missed most if not all of a season. That's all I got though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnSoxFan Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Person was drafted in 24th round by Indians in 1989, traded to White Sox in 1991 for a LHP named Grady Hall (I think he was from Northwestern). He had a good year for us in Sarasota of FSL (he was on staff with Jason Bere, and when Bere was promoted, James Baldwin came up from MWL). Had a great staff there that season. He was then selected in the expansion draft by the Marlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Correct me if im wrong, but didnt Person hit like 3 HR's in one game or something?? 7 RBIs in a game IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 7 RBIs in a game IIRC. He hit a GS and then a 3 run HR in successive AB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 How can we disagree about a minor-league deal for Robert Person? Not a lot of risk there for the Sox and Person was looked on very favorably by the Phils when he was winning 15 games. He had a future until arm troubles. He is worth a chance and I think, as others do, that we will probably see more of these type of signings. I doubt we will have any trades to speak about.
