sox-r-us Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Great trades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 These guys are high OBP guys and are great additions. Damn I love Carl Everett. He's my kind of player and Alomar has done really good too. on Kenny. Now please, listen to my idea of getting Ponson/Lightenberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorthsox Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Please KW don't listen to Chisoxfn on Ponson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Fine be that way...all I'm saying is that having a guy that is 11-5 and on base to win 20 and can eat innings and have great stuff is a huge addition. It moves Wright to the pen where he replaces Glover and it brings in another really good late inning guy. Sox would have such a deep bullpen that I'd trust any of those guys in the ninth inning. Heck, you could say that Koch would be the one least trusted and he's our closer. While you could say its a bad thing, it also shows the team would have so much depth in the pen. Then the Sox could acquire one pinch-hitter for the stretch run if necessary. Maybe use Glover. PK or Daubach would be on the bench depending on whose playing with Alomar, one of Harris/Rowand, Graffy and whoever else. That sounds good to me.

upnorthsox Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Oh I agree with your assessment, I just don't think Ponson is that pitcher. His career 2nd half #'s are s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaiza21 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 You think Ken Williams reads this site like WSI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Oh I agree with your assessment, I just don't think Ponson is that pitcher. His career 2nd half #'s are s***. True, but remember Ponson usualy would have to go up against the other teams 1 or 2 all the time. With the Sox he would be going up against the other teams 4th and 5th guy every outing.

Loaiza21 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Yeah because at WSI we put up the "player request" threads all of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Well, I think I'm gonna write an article tonight going in depth of why I think those guys would be great acquisitions and put the team on top. I hope Kenny realizes that names don't mean crap. Urbina per say is a name, but I'd rather have Lightenberg. Look at stats, don't go with a guy simply because he has saves. Insert that guy with great stats and he'll get his saves and his value will inflate to the point that you can get something real good for him when the day comes. Note: I am not saying to make Lightenberg the closer, but more-so saying I don't want Urbina cause closers are over-rated unless they are Gagne, Percival, Smoltz or Rivera.

Buehrle pitched the opener for us so according to you he should be pitching against their # 1 or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Jason, who did you say we should give up for Ponson/Lichtenburg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Jason, who did you say we should give up for Ponson/Lichtenburg? Carlos Lee and a reliever prospect. That would be my initial offer and yes I'd be willing to give up Ginter in that package. If they countered, I'd be willing to go as high as Munoz or offer them Lee, Glover and a guy like Majewski if thats what it took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaiza21 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I think it was Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me also say if they'd rather have Konerko over Lee, then thats fine too. Lee would just have to be happy playing DH more often then not. As long as we keep one of the righty bats between the two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
