Depending on how much the Pirates have to be pay of Kendalls contract, I think the Pirates actually are much better off now with this deal.

 

They have a solid bullpen with Rhodes, Mesa, Gonzalez, Meadows, etc. and adding another starting to anchor Kip Wells, Oliver Perez, and gang could definitly help.

Redmond and Rhodes for Kendall?

 

You mean we couldn't top that offer?

 

 

Ah, nevermind.  I assume Kenny would easily be able to top it, just that Kendall wants to play out on the west coast...  Nice deal for Beane, though.

ALL,

 

Kendall has a no trade clause. he is from California. He said he would waive his no trade clause to play for the A's.(CBS SPortsline) Its not about us offering more, it comes back to people wanting to play for us. As usual, nobody wants to unless your from Ozzie's country.

Taht tells you that the Sox never offered up Konerko or Garland cause the Pirates would of been stupid to not accept it. Although I'm sure the SOx were asking for a lot of cash back too.

Wonderful!

i really dont think that ben davis is that bad

 

i mean, he catches a really good game, is great with the glove, the arm, and his calls....

 

his bat has a ton of promise as we say last year....

 

and hell, even if he dosent hit a ton, oh well... we got ourselves a good defensive catcher

 

i think with a lot of playing time, this guy can develop nicely

 

time to address greater holes.... like its been said... our starting rotation, our RF situation, and our middle infileld.... there are plenty of outher routes to take in order to get this team in motion

Davis might hit .220 here over a full season. I don't think he does many of the things well that you mentionedAlso do we not have everett for right field? He had at the most a two week stretch were he was ridiculously hot then he went back to the same old ben davis.

The White Sox team ERA in the first half of the year, without Garcia and Contreras, was 4.59. In the second half, with those two, the team ERA was 5.26.

 

I think that helps disprove the Ben Davis calling a good game theory.

 

He's a decent catcher...but there are better options out there.

I don't think Davis' CERA in a Sox uniform was any good, iirc.
