shagar69 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Carlos Lee AND Willie Harris for Pods, Viz and Ginter. That's the latest. And an offer to Clement for 27M over 3 years with 3M in incentive. -y2 What?? where did u get this harris info from??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Carlos is not just some Deer-ish "power hitter". He gets on base regularly and has very low strikeout numbers considering his power. His k/bb ratio is also pretty good. That's valuable. Problem is his dumb base running (or in some cases standing). I can't tell what I think of this trade until I see exactly what we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I know we won the AL Central the last 5 years in a row but we need to change our philosophy. I seriously hope this is a typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHarris1 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Just to calm my nerves, what do you all think the chances of us signing a SP are? I just needed some reassurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 He was a one year wonder and everyone will realize that this upcoming year. Also he is a butcher in center. out of his only 2 full seasons one was great ( .300+, 45+ SB ) one season was OK (.250, 70 SB, 85 runs on a s***ty offensive club)... and you say he was a one year wonder? this guy has talent and could surpass all of your expectations and become a fan favriote.

CanOfCorn Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 yeah..but thomas is out for a while...and when he comes back where the hell is Carl going to play....they're both DH's. I thought I read that Herm said he should be ready around Spring Training. Edit: Yep, yep I did. Even though manager Ozzie Guillen said designated hitter Frank Thomas could be out until June, trainer Herm Schneider said Thomas is progressing as expected and should be ready during spring training. ...

Purdue129 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Apparently the Cubs fans have a special reception that we don't get, b/c that's the only place I'm seeing Willie mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Just to calm my nerves, what do you all think the chances of us signing a SP are? I just needed some reassurance. The chances are very good. Question is...who is it going to be? Are we going to have an Odalis Perez or a Matt Clement or...I dunno, Pedro. Res assured...we will sign a pitcher. Let's just pray...for Kenny's sake at Soxfest...that it is someone reputable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 ESPN.com has a headline that says the white sox joined the bidding for matt clement, but its one of their rumor central articles that you have to be a member for. does neone know who else is in the bidding and what the sox have offered. possibly a link to that article. Red Sox, not White. Say away from Clement. He won 9 games and is going to get $9 million. The Cubs had a better record than Sox and Garland won more than that.

jackie hayes Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Problem is his dumb base running (or in some cases standing). I can't tell what I think of this trade until I see exactly what we got. Carlos was caught stealing 5 times last year -- that includes "real" steals and pickoffs. You really want to get rid of him for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubs had a better record than Sox and Garland won more than that. Clement did have one of the worst run support in the majors last year. You have to factor that in. Just like people that think perez will only get 5-6 million next year because of his low win total. That is just foolish to beleive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Why the hell isn't this even on rotoworld yet? Or, mlb.com? Or espn.com? I know it hasn't been announced yet, but wouldn't they have just the rumors somewhere other than radio sources? Steff -- is this all true, from what you're hearing?

Winning Ugly Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Sorry fellas, as much as I want him LA Radio has been reporting all morning that Clement will be signed by the Angels by tonight. We now need Odalis Perez, and much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSOX45 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 .265 minor league hitter, spent 9 f***ing seasons in the minors. I don't know if this makes anyone feel better, but I talked to a guy at the Cougars game once, (where I worked) he said he had Podsednik live with him when he played with the Cougars (affiliated with the Marlins at that time.) He said the kid was not the most talented player in the world, but worked his a$$ off. That's the only reason he made it to the pro's. I like guys that work their asses off, I'm willing to give him a chance. But jesus kenny sign a starting pitcher. CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubs had a better record than Sox and Garland won more than that. are u dumb? look at his ERA, not to mention that he is a groundball pitcher. Hey kerry wood has the same career high in wins as garland. The cubs should do a wood for garland swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
