cwsox Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 we give up 2 - and maybe 3 - minor leaguers WHITE SOX ACQUIRE OUTFIELDER CARL EVERETT FROM TEXAS IN EXCHANGE FOR MINOR-LEAGUE PTBNL CHICAGO - The Chicago White Sox have acquired outfielder Carl Everett and cash considerations from the Texas Rangers in exchange for two minor-league players to be named later and a third conditional minor-league PTBNL. Everett, 32, was batting .274 (74-270) with 18 home runs, 51 RBI and 53 runs scored in 74 games this season with the Rangers. He is tied for ninth in the American League in home runs and ranks 16th with a .544 slugging percentage. Everett, a switch-hitter, batted .325 (26-80) with nine home runs and 20 RBI in April and drove in 22 runs in May. „We believe the acquisition of Carl, along with another switch hitter in Robbie Alomar earlier today, really gives our batting order balance and depth,“ said Ken Williams, White Sox general manager. „Carl will play center field and can also DH to give Jerry Manuel options with our lineup.“ Everett is a career .277 (961-3,474) hitter with 151 home runs, 596 RBI and a .473 slugging percentage in 1,023 games over 11 seasons in the major leagues with Florida (1993-94), the New York Mets (1995-97), Houston (1998-99), Boston (2000-01) and Texas (2002-03). His best seasons came in 1999 with the Astros, when he hit .325 with 25 home runs and 108 RBI and a .571 slugging percentage, and 2000 with the Red Sox, when he batted .300 with a career-high 34 home runs, 108 RBI and a .588 slugging percentage. Everett was an AL All-Star with Boston in 2000 and appeared in the postseason in back-to-back seasons with Houston in 1998-99. He is one of six switch-hitters in major-league history to drive in at least 100 runs in both leagues, joining Bobby Bonilla, Eddie Murray, Ted Simmons, Ken Singleton and J.T. Snow. Everett has 16 career multihomer games, including two in 2003, and eight career grand slams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 He's basically saying that the question is unanswerable at this time, which is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 He's basically saying that the question is unanswerable at this time, which is true. thank you, koch this. And a key thing is we don;t know if it is 2 or 3 players: "two minor-league players to be named later and a third conditional minor-league PTBNL." and we have no idea, do we, what the conditions are?

Texsox Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Why do you think they went with the PTBNL? Did the Sox want him so bad right now or did Texas want him out right now or is it some sort of two tiered deal if he does this we get that or if he does this we get that? I'm guessing Kenny or generically the Sox wanted both trades completed the same day and didn't have enough time to get both trades fully done.
