maggsmaggs Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (BearSox @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:48 AM) Hudson's K numbers in the minors have been much more impressive. True, but Slowey did K more than a batter per inning in A-ball. Then he didn't in AAA, but he also kept his command at the higher levels. That's obviously the key for Hudson to keep performing the higher he gets up. I also recall Slowey having solid stuff, too. Time will only tell...

ThunderBolt Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:50 AM) Just woke up 5 minutes ago. I turn to ESPN news and see the Peavy breaking news. I almost croaked. I'm not about to read through 36 pages. Can somebody just answer me is the only obstacle in this trade being completed is Peavy agreeing to it? Yes, he just needs to waive his NTC.

SoxFan562004 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:49 AM) I think I'll be fine whether or not this deal goes down. I'm kind of with you on this. I think it would be a good add, if it doesn't happen it's a good sign that the org and KW will continue to be agressive to improve this team. The worst part will be temporary and it will be Cubs fans saying how much the Sox suck and nobody wants to play here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm just so stoked at how much better our rotation will be with Peavy in it. Even if Floyd does turn out to be a 1 year wonder, we still have our top 3 in the rotation set until at least 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:46 AM) Last year, according to BA, he was 88-92, so it's nice to see the improvement in velocity. But still at 92-94, I don't consider him a power pitcher. He has got a lot of Kevin Slowey in him, IMO. http://thebaseballcube.com/players/S/Kevin-Slowey.shtml Similar peripheral numbers. If you've seen him pitch, you'd like him a lot more. The guy has a fluid delivery, plus command (don't know how he got it so quick, but the Sox made some minor adjustments to make his delivery more compact), and a really nice breaking piece. Changeup is coming along nicely and he throws two variations of the fastball, both with good velocity, tops out at 95, but pitches more in the 91-94 MPH range, both have excellent movement, one with some real nice sink.

Well, I think a big part of the factoring on Kenny's mind is that we will be riding our selves of Contreras, Thome, and possibly Dye's contract next season, freeing up a lot of money.

Dick Allen Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:51 AM) just to update opinions in the media, they just played a clip on ESPN 1000 with Olney saying he'll think he'll reject it. He's expressed a desire to stay in the NL and doesn't think that will change... of course he tempered it with saying he could agree due to of being of tired of losing. I imagine he or his agent will talk to the Pads and ask them what other possabilities are there. If the Pads say they won't just give him away and the Sox package is good and other teams aren't close he'll come. Again, I feel he rejects it, it's taking too long to agree to it. I know it doesn't mean anything at this point, but the sick of losing thing is funny because currently, the Padres have a better record than the White Sox.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) This thread might top any of the playoff threads from 2005 by the end of day (by top I mean total posts). This is how you spend your money. I'm glad Kenny is so "cheap." The impact of adding a guy like Peavy to the mix will be felt in so many ways besides what he obviously brings to the team.
