thomsonmi Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Good signing. Especially for the price. We now have two spots to fill... a starting pitcher and a middle infielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 ESPN is also reporting that sources are still mentioning as possible the three way trade with the Yankees and Diamondbacks that results in us getting Vazquez. That woould be tight.... The rotation would be set for awhile with alot of talent all under the age of 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Had anyone predicted how much money we had to spend going into this offseason? I'd like to know how much of it we have used now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bones Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Good signing by the Sox. Dye can be just the type of player the Sox need and they got him at a relatively low price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Had anyone predicted how much money we had to spend going into this offseason? I'd like to know how much of it we have used now.

EvilJester99 Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 I would have to think if the Sox are going to get a SP it will be through a trade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I would have to think if the Sox are going to get a SP it will be through a trade... It would make sense. That way we can move some payroll, and still be able to fill other holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 including dye or not? Including Dye and Hermanson. IIRC we were at about $63 then we brought those two in for $6 million in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthraxFan93 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Including Dye and Hermanson. IIRC we were at about $63 then we brought those two in for $6 million in 2005. 7 To get Orlando Cabera 5 to Get a Sp And just enough left over in the 75 mill projected payroll, to pay Polanco to sell Peanuts!

Wise Master Buehrle Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 GREAT SIGNING KENNY! I'm so enthusiastic about Jermaine. I really think he could have a great season with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomsonmi Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 7 To get Orlando Cabera 5 to Get a Sp And just enough left over in the 75 mill projected payroll, to pay Polanco to sell Peanuts! By my calculations you have us spending $81 (you edited down a little but not quite enough) million of our $75 million budget. I'm guessing that they're trading for Vazquez and signing someone to fill the middle infielder spot. I'm hoping for Renteria but it will probably be someone cheaper. I'd be happy with Cabrera too. That would put us a little over budget and the trade would still leave us looking for a 5th starter and a little short at first base since Garland and Konerko are part of the trade. I'm not real worried about first base as I think Gload, Dye and Thomas can handle it. Might be ugly at times fielding wise. And, my guess is that KW tries to pull off another Loiaza and sign some cheap pitcher (maybe Esteban himself) to fill the 5th spot. It's not perfect but it could work. If they could add Edgar Renteria as part of this I would be ecstatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoIL Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 GREAT SIGNING KENNY! I'm so enthusiastic about Jermaine. I really think he could have a great season with us! I'm happy with this signning also. I think it's solid move, not a great one, but solid. A few more moves like this and we should be in good shape heading into the season.

AnthraxFan93 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 thomsonmi, I was going on SouthSide, prediction that we have 63mil signed which leaves 12 mil to play with 7 for OC 5 for SP And then Polcanco can sell the peanuts..Best use for him for the SOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 It's an OK signing. At least we don't have that gaping hole in RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Good signing. eliminated the possibility of playing Borchard. gives us time for Anderson or Sweeney to develop. keeps Carl Everett at DH (because I doubt Frank will be ready when the season begins).

YASNY Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Until one of Dye Famous injuries..So we have 6 months till then, Maybe less. That's really not a fair assessment. He had that horrid broken leg in the playoffs and has taken a couple of years to get over it. That was a freak accident. Not the type of thing that deserves an "injury prone" label on a guy.

Yeah the guy had what some considered may have been career threating in the ALCS when he fouled a ball of his tibula or fibula or one of those... how is it famous? thats just not fair to say about the guy If he stinks it up then go for it...tear him a new asshole... until then just shut up!
