Cerbaho-WG Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Wow, didn't see that coming. And yes, I'd pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bighurt52235 Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 I wonder what the financial situation on Appier is. I'd like to take a chance on him as a fifth starter. It's a wonder that the Angels flat out released him. I would think that they could get SOMETHING for him at this time when teams are hunting another starter. I guess yesterday when he gave up five straight 2-strike hits they'd had enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Appier makes a ton of money. To sign him the Sox will have to let him pass through waivers and then sign him at the minimum. He is signed this year and next year at like 8 mill per season so no way do the Sox want to touch that. No one will pick him up and then a team can get him at the minimum (If I understand things correctly). I am not a big Appier fan, but as a fifth starter it isn't a horrible option. Add Appier as the 5th and acquire a good right handed reliever (Danny Graves, Lightenberg, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighurt52235 Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 Graves would be nice. It was a bad idea to let him start, considering how well he closed last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I would give it a shot, he would cost us nothing but the minimum right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I'd like to get Appier, if it meant that there were no other options for a starter, and we made a trade for a reliever. As for Graves, getting him would be nice, but he is making a ton of money this year, and I don't think we can add that much money to our payroll.

Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Let me say this about Appier. When I go to Angels games, I ensure to make sure that Appier isn't pitching. He is absolutely horrible, but at the minimum salary he's worth the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Let me say this about Appier. When I go to Angels games, I ensure to make sure that Appier isn't pitching. He is absolutely horrible, but at the minimum salary he's worth the risk. I wouldn't go to the games because he is so god damn slow to throw the ball. There should be a time limit on him his games take 5 freakin hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
