maggsmaggs Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Apparently, the White Sox will release this tomorrow, out 12 months, no Esteban Loiaza story this year. This is bad news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Wow... that's all I can say at the moment.. It's not a huge blow, but it's that pitching challenge he could of brought outta that 5th spot. Oh well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Just curious... While I do not want injuries to occur, nor am I a cold-hearted evil man....who cares? Person probably wasn't even going to make the team out of ST. And he didn't have the stuff to pull an Esteban anyways. At the very best, he could be a decent #5 starter for some team. Anyways, I'll have to see it to believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 no big deal did anyone really count on this guy anyway. I think one of our minor league players could pitch better anyway. He is done. He was never going to be esteban number 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I'll have to see it to believe it. Now the Dodgers know that we are REALLY desperate for starting pitching. I would've at least liked to see the guy get a chance of being in our rotation. Looks like it'll be another year of crappy Danny Wright in the rotation. :puke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 In all seriousness, it'll still be a good competition: Cotts, Rauch, Grilli, Wright, Pachecho, maybe even Adkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 It's too bad for Person, but it just means one less body to compete for the #5. As long as Francisco Campos doesn't blow out his achilles we'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it'll be another year of crappy Danny Wright in the rotation. :puke Losing Robert Person makes us even more desperate for a starter? I don't think so. He was a challenger for the 5th spot or a bullpen spot. No one was even sure he would make it on the team or not. This doesn't affect our desperation for a starter at all. I doubt Danny Wright starts. I think they like him in the bullpen. I thought Burkett was signed already, or was that just rumor? Is Pedro Astacio healthy? May as well take a chance on him if he is. It doesn't hurt at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Burkett is still out there, as is Astacio. There was an article yesterday or today about the Tigers talking with Astacio. He's not 100% but it appears he'll be ready to go by the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 So the contendaaahs are ... Rauch, Wright, Grilli, Pacheco, Cotts, Campos, Diaz, who else? Somebody should step up (he said with fingers crossed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your kidding right? You really think cause Person who has pitched like crap and is coming off an injury affects how the dodgers think?No disrespect but I completely dissagree. This guy was a long shot to make it, in fact I could care less about him. This has no bearing at all on the dodgers issue. If we were to make a trade with the dodgers it would happen whether this guy is there or not. I hope you didn't buy the idea that this guy was the next cy young candidate.

greasywheels121 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Big whoop....Nancy Faust was making more than Person was going to; this means absolutely nothing. Person may not have even been good enough for a starting job, and our bullpen is plenty full. We're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
