Rowand44 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Guys........ I just went on the braves message board and they say that Gammons said it would be 5-6 million a year. That's a pretty large amount of cash. I like Wright but that seems to be an excessive amount of money but it seems like the price of all pitchers has been driven up.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Everyone's ERA inflates at the Cell, including opposing pitchers. Usually everyone gets a little worse than they are away from home but I would be interesed in seeing opposing pitchers ERA at the cell. You also have to consider the fact that we are a lot better at home which will affect their ERA's also. Where can you find those types of stats? Back to the main topic I would rather take a look at Odalis since I think he is a lefty. I believe he will be better in the long run than Wright. Wright is just an incident waiting to happen.

AddisonStSox Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 My thoughts... Another question mark in the rotation...kinda spookes me. I was hoping this would be the off-season these types of signing cease. This reeks of White Sox doesn't it? I'm not going to go on a rant like some posters here about the Sox incapicity to spend money, but, this has "typical Sox signing" written all over it. On the plus side of things, it looks like the fifth starter question could be answered, leaving Kenny some time to address other needs. Let's hope this is the WRIGHT ( ) move. I wonder if Kenny is as close to getting this one done as he was Omar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty large amount of cash. I like Wright but that seems to be an excessive amount of money but it seems like the price of all pitchers has been driven up. If that's true, and the Sox really are pushing the payroll to 75m that would still give them about 7m to spend if they don't move Konerko or Lee... I guess with the price of pitching going up this is a good move in my opinion if the numbers are really 5-6m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 what can't handle the truth? That makes no sense either!! You attack people when they argue against you, and then you'll post "Can't handle the truth" when people make their points and respond to your attacks. Noone agrees with your bulls***.

If Wright has another year or two of what he did last year, $5-6 mil would be a frickin' bargain. Instead of condemning him before throwing a pitch, let's see what he can do. He's still young and has shown success in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 don't mean to be a prick, but can someone who is not stuck at work summarize the source of the Wright discussion...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Can everyone just stop whinning and get back to the point of the thread?

TheDybber, No thanks.. this his first year of an ERA under 4, pitching in a pitchers park.. Use the 5-6 mil on someone else..Hell I rather have O Perez here.. than this guy. Just a Bad move to blow up in our face IMO.. I see a mike Hampton type player in COL in Wright at the cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Guys, at the risk of being labeled a complainer... This chump has got to go. This is a Sox message board, not a place to stir up trouble. Talk baseball or get the f*** out; its just like, get a life. This is yet ANOTHER ruined thread, when this should be some awesome off-season rumor chatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 don't mean to be a prick, but can someone who is not stuck at work summarize the source of the Wright discussion... I know it's Gammons, but was it in print or on TV? Brian Kenny and Peter Gammons were talking about the free agents market for pitchers . They talked about how s***ty the contract was for Benson, and the huge deal Benitez got. Peter also talked about Pedro, and some how Wright's name got mention, and Peter talked about how he would probably get a three year deal, and that the Mariners were after him. He then mentioned how he has just heard that the White Sox are after him and they are close to a deal. The graphic under Peter than changed to "Wright near deal with White Sox." I want to say Peter said he expects Wright to get $6 million a year, but that was before he mention the Sox being interested him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Again, he hasn't even thrown one pitch in Comiskey as a White Sox (I still refuse to call it the cell). And a 4 ERA in Comiskey isn't that bad. No one on the board can see in the future...so let's just wait and see what he can do. He was the cream of the crop for the Indians in '97 and for the Braves last year. That's not too shabby. Wright would be a better signing, IMO, than Russ Ortiz, Brad Radke, Matt Clement. The only reason I would want Perez or Milton is because they are lefties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd take Wright over Clement, I'd definitely take Radke over Wright and Perez and Wright are pretty close imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
