KipWellsFan Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Didn't this guy have fairly sub par numbers last year. What warranted his trip to spring training this year. Couldnt there have been pitchers who deserved to make the trip a little more than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggio202 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 if KW traded for the guy he's invited to camp..all HIS guys will get more looks.. i remember in '00 he said he would never call up a pitcher from the minors if he cant keep his era under 3.50...lets test him on that this year...see who he calls up and how they are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Because KW traded for Howry for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 For the name alone!!! Go ahead, say the name out loud.....again.....AGAIN..... Isn't that FUN???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkDJ Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 He must not like him too much because at Soxfest he refered to him as Byung-Hyung Kim...or maybe he was just dreaming. Anyways, I'm just as confused as you. Baggio is probably right. Notice how Neal Cotts is there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggio202 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 For the name alone!!! Go ahead, say the name out loud.....again.....AGAIN..... Isn't that FUN???? unforunately for me im a big world cup soccer fan...and his name is the same as a guy on the korean team that was constantly making fun of the US (remeber this is before Nkorea made it known their nuclear intentions and after bush called them part of the axis of evil)...made some very derogatry statements towards the US...he was signed with a "serie A" club in italy and his behavior was so bad that they voided his contract and deported him(at the time thats was the talk..dont know if they actually deported him but his contract was voided)..lol... i guess that kid will have to pitch lights out for me to like him..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, are there any KW acquisitions that weren't invited? And where is the list of Sox players at ST posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I don't think Enemencio Pacheco(the guy we got for Alomar last year) was invited...but I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFan Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Maybe its just a coursitys look, at least I hope. Because I, too, thought that was odd that both he and cotts were invited to ST. Well, at least Cotts. Than again maybe there is this big conspiracy to have all of KW boys play on this team by the end of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxPride3035 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I agree with The Critic on this. I would have loved to see Howry in seasons to come, but alas, he was traded. Nonetheless he was a great pitcher while we had him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless he was a great pitcher while we had him. Howry was (and is) very overrated, we have 6 (or more) other prospects that would have replaced him with in a few years.

Couldnt there have been pitchers who deserved to make the trip a little more than him. If I recall before coming to the Sox he was pretty sucessful out of the relief role.
