striker Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I agree with KW that we shouldn't just sign someone to spend the money we have. It has to be the right fit. If you compare our rotation to the rest of the Central and even the AL it is pretty good. Only problem is the inconsistency of Garland and Contreras. I really don't care to see another fielder join us. If we add any players they should be pitchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Bartman's my idol Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I'm not in favor of paying top $ for Clement, I would rather have Lowe or Burnett, however, and I am not a Cub fan, when Wood and Prior were out at the beginning of last year, Maddux was not great, Clement was the one that kept the Flubs in the race.

sircaffey Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Why do you people keep mentioning Lowe? You'd rather spend 6-7 million on Lowe than 8-9 on Clement? That's ludicrous...Lowe sucks and if we throw 6+ million at him, I shall be pissed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Can everyone please post all Matt Clement news in this thread. We don't need a new thread everytime ESPN has an update and mentions something. If/when he signs today, I or another mod will change the thread title to Clement signs with "XXXX". Thank you, Ian *pins* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Why do you get to start your own Matt Clement thread for everyone to join? I opened this thinking there was something new. Nope just another Matt Clement thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Lowe would be a better fit then Clement.. Yes, for the Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISF Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Signing Lowe would be giving the money and the opportunity to Lowe we never gave to Foulke. Talk about a statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Can Perez get his own thread too? Clement would be a great pickup, but Id rather have perez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 i just heard on KROQ that they are going to play the mars volta and then announce that clement signed with the chicago white sox if you cant tell already, this is a bulls*** post... even thou it isnt in green, you should have been able to use your best judgment and tell, that yes... i am full of s***.

Mr. Showtime Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Can Perez get his own thread too? Clement would be a great pickup, but Id rather have perez. Eh, I'm mainly doing this since it looks like he'll sign some where today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Eh, I'm mainly doing this since it looks like he'll sign some where today. fair enough. Dont get me wrong Clement would be my 2nd choice. Cubs made a big mistake letting him go. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babybearhater Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Word is... that the sox are willing to match offers that are extended to clement, and he would sign based on the location in chicago. he stated that he loved chicago, and didnt want to leave the city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Nothing new on the 1:20 update. Sox mentioned re: Clement and Pierzynski. Same stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Can we live with the rotation of: Mark B 15- 18 w Garcia 15- 18 w Clement 15 w Contreras 12- 15 w Garland 12-15 w I would say this is arguably a top 10 rotation easily in baseball. Teams with better rotations may be : Cubs :fthecubs Redsox ...maybe Braves Yanks ..if they add randy We easily would have the best in our division, and I would put it up against anyone in Baseball.

He could easily be a pitcher in the middle or bottom of the rotation that could eat up some serious innings. Sign him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Something I love above Clement is that he's filthy against righty hitters. He would be a great addition to help shut down some of our yearly enemies like Mike Sweeney, Huntter, and Shannon Stewart. However, Clement struggles against lefties, so I don't like his chances facing a team like the Indians with Hafner and Victor Martinez.

retro1983hat Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 You know what is scary. That Under .500 Matt Clement deserves his own thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I wonder if he will have his press conference announcing his Angels/RedSox signing today or wait until monday pending a physical. Odalis goes to the loser by the end of next week. Lowe goes to the tigers at about 7 mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
