SuperSteve Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Do we lose a 1st round or 2nd round pick if we sign either Perez or Clement because they were both offered arbitration? Nope, finished with one the 15 worst records in baseball last year or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulokis Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Nope, finished with one the 15 worst records in baseball last year or something like that. So if we end up signing Clement, we dont have to give the Cubs a draft pick. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 yeah we'd lose a #2 for perez. #2's aren't worth sweating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 well you got me on sweeney. But that's sort of like saying you don't want to give up a 38th round pick because you might get Mark Buehrle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I'm hearing whispers from the Up North that Jacque will be a starting OF for the Flubs. Its just a matter of time. Hendry is going to make it happen though. So long Jacque. Enjoy the success of former Twink-gone Cub LaToya Hawkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 FWIW, my buddy called me up and said his dad heard on the radio (I'm assuming it's was on ESPN 1000, WGN 720, or 670 the Score) and said the Sox are interested in Pyrzinski (sp?), former Twinkie/Giant catcher. Take it FWIW, I'm not seeing anything on rotoworld or any rumors anywhere else yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Mac, Jurko, and Harry have been talking about the possibility of signing him. Its because they've gotten emails from people mentioning the name. But there are no sources to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 One more thing -- what type of pitcher is Kevin Milwood? I don't really know a lot about him. Is he a strikeout pitcher? Groundball pitcher? Can he eat up innings (if he's healthy)? What I'm getting at, would it be a wise decision for the Sox to go after him at a reasonable price?

He'll demand about the same as Derek Lowe. Although I like Milwood, the chances of him coming to the South Side are slim to none, and we all know where slim went. He can be a horse when healthy and tends to be a groundball pitcher, although last year's numbers wouldn't indicate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 odalis perez is our best chance for a starter....Clement will most likely sign where he can get the most money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 It doesn't look as if Orlando Hernandez is going to return to the Yankees. El Duque, who is searching for a two-year deal, has drawn interest from the Braves, Red Sox and Dodgers. With the Yankees, he would be a sixth starter. It's believed the other clubs are offering a spot in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 from rotoworld: The Marlins only intend to trade A.J. Burnett as part of a three-team deal that nets them Tim Hudson, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. The Red Sox, Orioles, Yankees and Dodgers are among the teams that might get involved in a three-team trade, but if the Marlins are really set on having either Burnett or Hudson, it's unlikely that anything will happen. It just shouldn't be worth it for them to upgrade. Burnett is certainly a bigger risk, but he has as much upside as Hudson does.

DBAHO Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 A.J news; Word in Boston is that the Red Sox are still trying to unload ex-Twins first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are said to be interested in ex-Twins catcher A.J. Pierzynski, released Tuesday by the San Francisco Giants, but for about $1.5 million. That would be less than half of his salary this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurcieOne Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 A.J news; The Red Sox want to sign him as a backup to Varitek? Bulls***... Kenny's gotta find some room in the payroll to put this guy on the squad. I mean thats pretty much taking a spot of weakness and turning it into a possible strength.

MurcieOne Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 This may be a negotiation strategy with Varitek Thats a good point... I hope they wouldn't have two all-star catchers where we have two catchers that quite honestly.... maybe wouldnt start on any other major league team.

Rex Hudler Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 For a one year deal it didn't seem to bad. You pay a little more not to go long term and Byrd is a quality pitcher. He pitched well last season and his numbers should stay in that area, maybe go to 4.00 at the highest if healthy. He's already shown he can pitch in the AL. I'll apologize ahead of time for being on a "salary kick" today...... The way things are done in baseball are ass backward. A players SHOULD get less money per year for signing a long term deal and more for a one year deal. Multi-year deals give the player security, yet that security often results in lesser results. In baseball, players get it both ways. The system forces teams to reward players for staying with them, in hopes that they will become great and outperform the long-term deal. But what happens when that player regresses? Nothing. The player continues to cash his fat check while his team labors in 5th place! It just makes no economic sense whatsoever.

southsider2k5 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Interesting note I found about the Jaret Wright deal. I guess the Yankees were a little smarter than we knew.... New York and Jaret Wright agreed his $21 million, three-year contract, will have a provision that gives the Yankees the right to void the third season if he has a serious shoulder injury during the first two years that causes him to go on the disabled list for a specified period, which will be set at 60-90 days. If Wright remains healthy, he would gain the ability to void the third year of the contract and become a free agent again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
