AWhiteSoxinNJ Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) Is it in the same trouble as when we got rid of Maggs and Carlos Lee. When we got rid of Maggs and Lee, we still had power in the line up, without Paul, we have an aging Frank Thomas and Dye when he is hot for our power. I'd rather give Paul the money because if we win it all, and get rid of Paul, then this year would be called a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im starting to get that sick feeling in my stomach. Jon Garland has 1 more year of arbitration under his belt. Jon-G will be on the Sox next year. And he will be expecting big bucks after this season. I would like to see him get a similar deal to what Buerhle signed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why your thinking that. You say they'll call it a fluke and this franchise is in trouble if we lose PK. Don't know what team your watching this season.

Kalapse Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 On the Marlin's message boards they love the McCarthy and Marte (maybe Contreras) for Burnettl trade. They like McCarthy but I dont' think they've seen Marte pitch recently, they're thinking of the '03 Marte not the current one. well, marte is one of the best relievers in the game, he can go multiple innings and is a south paw to boot If they think Marte can go multiple innings they are going to be sourly disappointed.

I'm not saying we'll be a last place team, or that our franchise is in trouble, but replacing PK with Lowell would not make us a playoff team in 2006. We can have all the pitching we want, but you still need to score runs and last time I check, having power is still apart of baseball. Lowell...15-20 hrs a season, PK...30-40 hrs a season, that is a huge dropoff. Edited July 25, 2005 by AWhiteSoxinNJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowell...15-20 hrs a season, PK...30-40 hrs a season, that is a huge dropoff. Eh, PK is not that great of a player. He is crappy with runners in scoring position, doesnt hit to all fields, clogs the bases and has a low OBP and BA, not to mention his GIDP's. For a guy with as many Hr's as he hits, his RBI totals are pathetic. He doesnt fit the mold on this team, and I fully expect that he is gone after this season and we prosper because of it.

They really think they're getting Contreras in a deal for Burnett. McCarthy, Marte and Contreras for Burnett, which is not happoning. They seriously have to watch a Sox game. McCarthy is a stud, Contreras still gives us a chance to win this year and Marte is filthy and will help our bullpen tremendously. McCarthy has the ability to become a very good #2 type pitcher in the majors. They're not getting Contreras in the deal they think so that's not an issue. And Marte can be dominate at times but most of the time he'd rather walk the first 2 batters of the inning and infuriate the manager. He was filthy in '03 and at times in '04 just not so much in '05.

Rowand44 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 That's why numbers lie with Damaso. They probably look at his stats and think he's been awesome this year, which he hasn't. This whole thing sounds like it's close to being done as of right now but these deals do fall apart all the time. Just a few days ago it looked like Baltimore had the Burnett sweepstakes all wrapped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
