SSH2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article...e2005&fext=.jsp DALLAS -- The Pittsburgh Pirates unloaded their second left-handed starter in less than 24 hours Wednesday morning by sending veteran southpaw Mark Redman to the Kansas City Royals for right-hander Jonah Bayliss and a player to be named later. The Royals got the ace they wanted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 It's looking more and more like that Benson deal won't happen, since they don't want to give up both Affeldt AND MacDougal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Looks like we're going to finish last in the central now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Looks like Redman's name will be off the market this year come trading deadline time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Good move by the Royals in terms of at least trying to get back to 70-75 wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 If they can get Benson, too, they're a lot better than they were last year. Of course they won't compete for anything, but they'll be harder to beat with Redman and Benson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Redman has always been a serviceable pitcher, it's a pretty solid move for KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep who you have and sign White to play the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 If they get Benson too they might not be the laughing stock of the league anymore although still bad. whats the rotation Benson, Redman, Greinkie, Bautista, ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep who you have and sign White to play the OF. I think it's pretty important for the White Sox. Every win will count next year, and having Benson or Redman pitching gives them a better chance of beating us. They still won't be good, but they might take a game or two more. And that's never good.

But we also have Jim Thome as our DH instead of Carl Everett...and Brandon McCarthy starting instead of Orlando Hernandez, and Bobby Jenks Closing instead of Dustin Hermanson (that cost us 1 game against KC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys will also be pitching against the Twins and Indians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
