MinnesotaSoxFan Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I see. I didn't know the stats of Biddle and I meant the sideburns as a side note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Not a bad price tag at all. Hopefully Gary will be promoted to Montreal ASAP, he was a very nice guy when Jason and I interviewed him in Charlotte. Frees up a spot on the 40 man, too. Hooray....and I'm assuimg Borchard gets sent down? Either him or Burke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I don't know much about majewski, any help? Fastball, slider, changeup. Changeup is developing, more of a "show me" pitch as of now. Mid 90s fastball, good slider, has had some control issues. Should be somewhat decent out of the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFanForever Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Yeah, I think this a pretty good trade for both teams. Will be nice to have a lefty bat in our lineup with some pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I just can't wait until it becomes official... You think he'll be in the lineup in time for the game against Texas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I hope it is Burke that goes down because i think that as good as a defensive catcher as Davis is if he can even hit .150 he'd be more valuable then Jamie "Drop the Ball at the Plate every time I get the ball perfectly thrown to me" Burke.

Dick Allen Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Carl's 2 hr are going to be a big boost to the White Sox line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Carl has at least 10 Hr's for the Sox by the end of the year... As long as he can hit .270+ in a sox uniform and draw some walks i'll be happy. He doesn't need to hit HR's to be valuable offensively.

Ishmookie Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 im happy with this deal, realisticly we weren't gonna bring up rauch again. he scarred himself with his actions in the clubhouse, it was only a matter of time before he got dealt.

They brought him back after that incident, and he shut Cleveland down. KW has a fascination with Carl. Rauch could have been used to pick up something better. Hopefully Carl's lack of production this season can be blamed entirely on injuries and he is and will remain healthy for the rest of the year. I'm skeptical.

Exactly the guy is a headcase. I hope he becomes successful but he kind of sealed his own fate. He had no future in the Sox organization and now we have a cheap player who can help us down the stretch and maybe even next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 To this point, Everett has had a terrible offensive year. With an ops under .700, we better hope that he is healthy. Watching him play last night, he looked out of shape and much slower than last year. It just seems like Rauch could have been used to bring in someone better and more proven this year. A lot of team would love the chance to work with a 6'11" pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 He also just reported that one of the pitchers may be Rauch. :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of team would love the chance to work with a 6'11" pitcher. A 6'11 guy who tops out at like 93 MPH. We're not exactly talking the next Randy Johnson here. I hope he's successful but he had no future here. You have to realize that GM's are not stupid. They knew KW was shopping Rauch. You don't get top value when you are that down on a player.

I'm skeptical. I was at that game Rauch pitched against Cleveland, it was a rainy day game on a Thursday ... he was far from shutting down the Indians. Lots of very hard hit outs, and Rowand made that great play at the CF wall to save Rauch's bacon. Certainly not minimizing Rauch's contributions/potential, but he wouldn't have gotten a chance here and the same with Majewski. Good news here is even if these two guys blossom, it's in the National League. So it won't directly hurt us. Good deal for the White Sox, we needed a bat.

fathom Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I also thought that Rauch had the best chance to be in the rotation next year. With Loaiza and Schoeneweis likely gone, we're going to need to find 2 starting pitchers. It's also safe to say that KW is not going to make any other major moves now. Who do we really have left to trade? Better not be Anderson or Sweeney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 For you guys saying Everett hasn't produced much this year, he's only had 127 ABs. That's a real small sample-size to take anything from him... He also breaks up the righties in our lineup, and we'll have a very potent 3-7 part of the order, especially against righties. Maggs/Lee/Everett/Konerko/Valentin? Maggs/Everett/Lee/Valentin/Konerko? Or scratch both of those, and Everett in the three spot? I like Maggs in the three spot, so I hope Everett is hitting fourth or fifth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoenewies will probably have a chance to have a shot in our rotation next year, same with Cotts. You have to imagine Kenny will go after another FA starter, and Diaz would definitely have the first shot over Rauch, considering he pitched much better. Your logic is flawed...

You have to imagine Kenny will go after another FA starter, and Diaz would definitely have the first shot over Rauch, considering he pitched much better. Your logic is flawed... I'm pretty sure that Schoeneweis is not signed for next year, and it doesn't appear as if Ozzie likes him very much. Also, with how poorly he has been pitching, I doubt that the Sox will want to bring him back for a couple of million. The reason I thought Rauch had a better chance than Diaz or Cotts is because Diaz and Cotts look to be major league relievers, not starters. Cotts is a 2-pitch pitcher who struggles against righties...not exactly the formula for a good starter. Also, Diaz seems to get rocked his 2nd time around a line-up. I'm not even a big fan of Rauch, I just thought he would be starting for the Sox next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
