Kalapse Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 11:17 AM) Nothing on whitesox.com yet. I smell a lame April Fool's "joke". This has got to be a hoax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 12:18 PM) I haven't found anything anywhere, so my suspicions are rising. Seems like really odd timing, unless it was for a sign and trade deal for Pujols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that ESPN just heard it on the Score, so put it up there. We'll see though. Nope, its there on WhiteSox.com. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws Edited April 1, 2006 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I wonder what this means for McCarthy, we have 5 more established starters signed through '07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say there's no way in hell we move McCarthey, he's about 30 years younger than Contreras and has a couple years yet until he even hits arbitration. You don't just trade a player as awesome as McCarthy, he's the total package, ability, cost and youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on the "No-Trade" clauses in the Top 5 starters contracts. I would think they would trade one of them before trading McCarthy.

KW likes his starting pitching depth. I think McCarthy is going to stick around a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with all our starters signed, makes it easier to make a deal. We shall see what transpires in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarty can go as well. Kip Wells had betetr numbers in his firts 7 starts than McCarthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems KW likes McCarthy comming out of the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
