cwsox Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 what? please don't be so cryptic - a lot of us (or at least me) have no idea what you mean although I can maybe guess but what really went down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 what? please don't be so cryptic - a lot of us (or at least me) have no idea what you mean although I can maybe guess but what really went down? tony ritchie was draft 3 or 4 yrs ago by the sox in the 5 round. he was angry b/c many thought he was going to be a hard sign and he was not drafted in the first round. he kept on insisting on 1 round money. the sox i believe, if i remember right came in with a little than 600k but he refuse. the money part is what is i am a little confuse here. either way he wanted first round money and he didn't get it. he went to fl for schooling. now he was drafted by the sCrubs and sign for what 300+k. here is what BA had to say about him 3 yrs ago>>> One of the best high school catching prospects, Tony Richie (5) was disappointed he didn’t go in the first round as projected. He’s at Florida State Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I saw the name Ritchie and thought of Todd right away - playing sports for a livelihood is such a crap shoot - second guessing must be second nature to them thanks for the info - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 what? please don't be so cryptic - a lot of us (or at least me) have no idea what you mean although I can maybe guess but what really went down? He's talking about Tony Ritchie. He was drafted by the Sox, but instead opted to go to FSU and he become one of the top hitting catchers and was drafted by the Cubs after turning down more money by the Sox. Like I've always said, I don't blame the Sox, they had a fair offer on the table and in all honesty, they are probably one of the most agressive teams in terms of the draft.

I have to agree, I don't recall any one we drafted that we didn't sign that we didn't make a decent offer to but they had other priorities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost never will a player make more money by holding out and re-entering. Its really stupid advice to give a player. Only way thats different is if your a latter round pick, have another year of college or if your a mid to latter round pick and are in highschool and can go to college and increase your stock.

BrandoFan Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I haven't harbored as much bile and undulterated hatred as I do for Todd Ritchie since Jim Parque and Corey Patterson...and I hate those f***ers with passion!

greg775 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I thought of Todd, too. I'm glad we sent he and Royce to Milw, cause I haven't heard a word about either. how is Todd R. doing? Seemed like a nice enough guy in his postgame quotes, but oh he was so bad. He sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
