Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I don't know what to think really. I guess it doesn't hurt to see if he can re-discover his 2002/2003 form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 05:09 PM) what for exactly? my best guess is insurance if they trade one of the starters....if they trade one, and then one gets injured, theres 0 depth.....

SSH2005 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 what for exactly? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Probably just for minor league pitching depth. I doubt it but maybe a possible bullpen arm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 06:09 PM) what for exactly? Yeah I don't get it. He can't crack the starting rotation and he isn't a lefty. Oh well, I guess you can never have too much pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH2005 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Charlotte needs starters <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow, Nomo is 37 years old. Definately for Charlotte. Lawrence Holmes just reported this again -- that the Sox WILL sign Nomo to a minor league deal soon. Edited March 1, 2006 by SSH2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 that would be goofy form coming out of the bullpen. we'll see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH2005 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 that would be goofy form coming out of the bullpen. we'll see what happens. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly what I was thinking but there may be way too many miles on his arm. He was terrible last season -- too many walks and not enough strikeouts. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/player....layer_id=119827 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.J. Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Man, of all the arms to give a minor league deal to, there were like a dozen intriguing (not terribly good but intriguing) possibilities on the undervalued market a few months ago, and we get this guy? If you were going to throw away a minor league deal why not use it on someone with a little more upside you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxPride56 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I am not going to lie, I like this a lot. If he doesnt work out we dont lose a single thing. And Kenny has had success finding pitching that no one really wanted (Pollite, Jenks, Hermanson, Shingo, Contrereas, Loaiza). Granted most of these guys were a lot younger, but with Cooper, I wouldnt be surprised if Nomo took over Viz's role of last year. If he doesnt pan out then no big deal, but if he can get his 2002-2003 form back, then I think it was a great pickup. I guess only time will tell, but I am gona go on record right now saying Nomo will be a great surprise to the White Sox bullpen this year.
