gsoxs1 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I dunno, its an odd offseason. It is so strange to be so close to the season kicking off and so many unknowns I totally agree. Its weird that there are some many free agents still available and spring training is around the corner. Looking at espn, there are over 100 free agents still out there. Heck you could form a competitive team C Varitek or Irod 1B Casey or Mientkiewicz 2B Hudson SS OCab 3B Crede or Wigginton LF Dunn CF Edmonds RF Abreu SP Sheets SP Garland SP Perez SP Pedro SP Freddy/Glavine RP Lyon RP Burgos CL Gagne/Izzy This team could win 82 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) I wouldn't say competitive, but it would be competent and expensive at the very least. I also have to imagine Burgos is going to do some jail time and that could end his career. Edited January 22, 2009 by witesoxfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 yea i am also shocked by the lack of free agent movement. It goes to show you that teams are being very careful how they spend their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 02:41 AM) Yanks and Mets front runners for Garica per Rosey. I saw that story on the MLB page today. I am only speculating, but I think the Sox are looking at a more durable FA starting pitcher and there is a chance as things get closer to early to mi February we see a signing. I still like Garland as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the money saved with Javy/Ocab/Swish how do the sox not have money to give him? Not saying I want Kenny to sign him, just saying I am pretty sure the money is there. Unless you see a dramatic drop in payroll. Which could be the case I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have it with what has been saved from trades. Not saying we will be signing Jon, but there are worse options out there and Jon's asking price will be comng down.

TLAK Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 01:42 PM) I dont see why Freddy would want to pitch with the Yankees. It seems like he would be a 6th option, and from everything I have read about him he wants a real chance to be in a rotation this year Spot starting might be very good for him. We know he can still pitch, but we don't know if he can raise his arm the morning after a game, he might need a week or more before going back out there. The Yankees have enough money to pay for a quality starter and not use him as a regular, so from that perspective, he might very much want to pitch with the Yankees. 10 high quality starts from a 'spare tire' could win that division.
