toasty Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 With the pirates fire sale, do they have any high priced pitchers left that they may move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySoxFan Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 well, kip is still over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 They'd move Benson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasty Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 doubt they would give us kipper back... do we want benson tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Kirk Benson, 6.1+ mil next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasty Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 also, pirates wont want to take on salary... thats why they are doing the sale.. so prolly wont get much done there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 The Pirates can keep Benson. The only trade I'd want to see with the Pirates would involve us getting Giles in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I don't want Benson either. I was just answering his question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand you were just answering his question, I was just saying that I didn't want him. Sorry if I sounded like a jackass or anything.

Sorry if I sounded like a jackass or anything. Not at all. I just didn't want people to misinterpret what I said, and have them think I wanted Benson. Talk about looking like a jackass.

Chisoxfn Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Yep, it would be foolish to take Benson considering the Sox don't have a high payroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Benson could be good, but I don't think a team should take the risk on him at this time of year. Some up and coming team could take him and hope he solidifies their rotation a bit. If the Sox get Benson I'd be disappointed, but he could be good somewhere else.

Jim Fainter Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I'd rather have Pacheco and Rupe coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wsc425 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Benson sucks. I don't want him. Get Suppan, Wells, Fogg or Giles. Giles will not happen because of the high priced salary tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delben91 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Benson sucks. I don't want him. Get Suppan, Wells, Fogg or Giles. Giles will not happen because of the high priced salary tho. I'm all for going after Suppan. We could likely get him rather cheap too. Maybe for a mid-level quasi-prospect, Pittsburgh seems to be taking just about anything.

Dick Allen Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 There's a lot of teams looking for pitching, and many of those teams are looking at Suppan. Don't just think you can throw a 3rd or 4th tier prospect at Pittsburgh and they'll jump at it. His salary is not astronomical, they may just hang on to him.
