Chisoxfn Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I'm going to take a good look at their minor leagues and see if theirs anyone out their that really makes sense that would fill a glaring hole either at the majors or the minor league level.

Cerbaho-WG Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 It's a rule 5 draft choice who will be presented on the 16th. Just wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had better pick up a god damn catcher else this deal makes completely no sense whatsoever. Not that this is making much sense now, anyways. Yes! Go catcher platoon of Josh Paul and Miguel Olivio! That'll win a division! s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 KW is supposedly looking into signing a veteran catcher. Their are some vets out their that could be had for cheap, aka league minimum to 500k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I know one thing Olivo is good, but I want him learning on how to handle pitchers from a veteran catcher, not Josh Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjav829 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 KW should have gone after Damian Miller. Look what the Cubs gave up for him. Nothing! Although word is that if the Cubs sign Pudge Rodriguez, then may look to move Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although word is that if the Cubs sign Pudge Rodriguez, then may look to move Miller. Give up a couple minor league prospects, at the most....and make them bullpen pitchers too. I think that if the Cubbies sign IRod, their team ERA will increase....they may not realize it, but IRod doesn't call many good games....and I don't have to find anything to tell you that. Just look at some of the Rangers past playoff teams...Ken Hill led the team in ERA in 1996...Aaron Sele in 1998 with a 4.23 ERA...and Aaron Sele again in 1999 with a 4.79 ERA....you think IRod calls good games? I don't...the only reason Texas was winning was because they had a good bullpen and an incredible offense...that year, only 3 people didn't hit 20 homers, and even Royce the Choice hit 14...they scored 945 runs and allowed 859....IRod may not be all the good they think he can or will be.

witesoxfan Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 And with CJ heading to Colorado, I would almost expect him to have another big year...if not, his career will be over, unless he takes a backup job elsewhere for not much money. If we got CJ, he would need to suck this year and be willing to take on time as the backup catcher. Just because he sucked in Florida doesn't mean he will suck in Colorado...Colorado's thin air may help him big time...if not, we may be able to sign him to about $500,000-$1,000,000 in 2004....that's about it, IMO.
