DABearSoX Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) If we multiple this even year times the square root of Brett Saberhagens ERA, and multiple it by infitinity, David is still better than the 2006 version of Gas Can Clifford Politte. How about Oil Can Boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gojimthome Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Incredible coup for Kenny Williams. Step one: find team desperate for a LOOGY Step two: sell high on AAAA LOOGY Step three: laugh all the way to the playoffs The talent levels of the parties in this trade are miles apart. This would be like trading Ross Gload for Kevin Youkilis. So long as Riske isn't used as a setup man or closer, he's fine. In Cleveland, every time they brought him in for the 8th or 9th with men on base, he had a meltdown (walks, mostly). When he was used in the 7th and 8th with no one on, he was reliable.

qwerty Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) Riske being equally if not a little tougher on LH hitters is also a bonus. Don't have to play the match-up game with him as he's held LH hitters under a .200 baa the last 3 seasons (average). Righties hitting .233. If ozzie and the sox didn't realize it last year with that politte and jenks can get lefties out they never will. Only right handers can get right handers out and the same goes for lefties... unless if they looked at some stats maybe? Nah, why help the team at any cost.

Its funny how you just say and a prospect like its nothing when that prospect was the biggest part of the deal. Still good trade but probably should be said turned a top prospect into a top of a rotation starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 So when does redandwhite drop by to tell us how this was a coup for the Sawx and we picked up their garbage and they got a diamond in the rough to help them climb over the top of the mountain.

Once he tells us how washed up Riske is, and how lopez really makes them stronger, you know its a good trade for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never. I believe he's banned. I was surprised as anyone to hear this trade announced. Especially around this date. Perhaps Boston has another relief pitcher in the minors who will replace Riske, and they're attempting to receive a situational lefty with low value. Williams seems to shine in these types of low-key moves. He certaintly did his job here. Much better option than Tracey or Montero.
