Guest JimH Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Did anyone have ESPN News on in the last hour or so? A buddy just emailed me the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Gammons just reported on ESPN News that the Sox did sign J. Wright - 2 year 10M contract and mutual option for a third year. They're close on two other deals - one brings Dye for a 2 year contract worth 8.5 million. The other is a three way deal that would bring Luis Castillo to Chicago Sox get: Luis Castillo, 2B Scott Posednik, CF Milwaukee gets Brian Anderson Florida Prospect Marlins get: Carlos Lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do not know if it's true, my buddy just emailed me and said he saw it. ?????

BlackBetsy Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Holy bejeebus those moves would be freaking fantastic: DYE VORP 23.3 CASTILLO VORP 33.5 WRIGHT VORP 40.8 total added VORP = 96.6 LEE VORP = 46.8 total subtracted VORP = 46.8 added VORP = 39.8 Salaries added - Wright $5 M, Castillo $4.7 M, Dye $4.25 M = $14M Salaries subtracted - Lee $8.5 M Net salary added = $5.5 million This would be a fantastic set of deals.

AddisonStSox Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Dude...Posednik would own here...AND Castillo. I'd take this as b-day present. I'm giddy. Just silly right now.

I want to keep C Lee... Otherwise I like the rest... If he had castillo and podsednik batting 1-2 in the line-up i do not know many teams that can touch that. We woulkd still have possibly six 25 homerun guys still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Me thinks your buddy may be playing a prank on you. And if he's a Sox fan a sick, sick despicable prank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I think jim is getting screwed around............ It does seem too good to be true...but you never know...We'll wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Why would we give up Brian Anderson and C. Lee though..,. It makes no sense. I don't want to bank our whole offense of Jermaine Dye and Scott Posednick.... Like I said aside from the trade I like it but no on that trade...

Guest JimH Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I DID NOT SEE IT ON ESPN ... Just had a buddy email it to me, he's out of town and I can't reach him. Was asking if anyone else saw it ... or heard it?? I did see the Jaret Wright bit from before (Gammons said they were close to a deal), but that's all I personally saw.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Ohh well...I liked the Wright deal and the Dye signing but there is no way in hell we should trade Brian Anderson and C. Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
