whitesox89 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Which pitcher would you want considering the price. I like El Duque but the age factor kinda scares me. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 el duque so they can still sign somebody else. and you didnt close your parentheses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxmatt Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I gotta go with El Duque. $8 mil a yr for Perez is just way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Duque and Perez both come with concerns about how deep they can go into games. Duque has a greater health concern. Perez has a greater risk of not changing leagues well. Therefore Perez is not worth 2x as much as Duque. Perez at $6mil probably would go in his favor due to age. But anything above that, Duque is a better risk, because he goes from the AL East to AL Central and because he has played in the AL before. Perez will go from a pitcher park in the NL West (not exactly an offensive division) to Comiskey a hitters park in the AL Central (a more offensive division).

Texsox Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 If I was in Boston, NY, or LA, I would be saying why not both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Pod Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 El Duque is a good offer i just hope he is not injured then we can see about 12-15 wins from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxmatt Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 El Duque is a good offer i just hope he is not injured then we can see about 12-15 wins from him. The best way to keep him from getting injured is to limit his pitch count to 100 since he is old and has had shoulder problems. There will be a lower risk of injury and he will pitch his best.

CubsSuck1 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 The best way to keep him from getting injured is to limit his pitch count to 100 since he is old and has had shoulder problems. There will be a lower risk of injury and he will pitch his best. And now we have a stronger bullpen to do so, which should benefit all of our starters.

SoxFan1 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 If we paid Odalis, then we wouldn't have the dough for Eck or Cora. Although Buehrle, Garcia, Perez, Contreras, Garland is nice, it would be too expensive. Plus, Odalis doesn;t have the World Series/Winning experience. Lastly, Odalis is probably looking for more than 8 mil. per. Why do you think no one has signed him yet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Why do you think no one has signed him yet??? Holding out for the market to rise is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a lower risk of injury and he will pitch his best. 100 is still pushing it for him in my opinion. 80 seems more reasonable to me and 100 is pushing it for him i think. If he has the lead after five innings by more than a run or two he should be taken out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
