StatManDu Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I am sure I'll add to this list and others can too. In light of the hubub made of trading the top two pitching prospects, I was trying to think of young arms unloaded by the Sox that wound up being good and I mean as good as hyped. I could only think of three in recent times: Doug Drabek Bob Wickman Denny McLain Other competents let go: Al Levine, Brendan Donnelley, John Hudek, Buddy Groom. Am I missing anyone?

YASNY Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 If you are going back far enough to include McLain, then let me throw in here that they let Dean Chance go to the Angels in the expansion draft so they could hold on to the legendary Bruce Howard.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Jeff Weaver and Eric Gagne for a few years. They were both drafted by the sox right? Unless you're talking about a whole career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StatManDu Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Not sure about Gagne, but Weaver never signed with us. Gagne and Weaver both never signed. Let me check on Dean Chance. That is intriguing. Also, they let Rudy May go if that means anything to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, they let Rudy May go if that means anything to anyone. Apparently, I was misinformed while growing up. I just checked on Chance and he was drafted and signed by Baltimore, and drafted by the Angels from the O's. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 He was not really a prospect at the time, but one might argue that we gave away Goose Gossage way too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
