Harry Chappas Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Nelson would've looked good in our pen. I assume he has big dough coming. He spoke up and got sent to the Yanks, same with Boone. What to do with Rick White???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSOX45 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I think this move was just made because Nelson opened his big mouth about Gillick not making a move. Well he made one now! CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sox-r-us Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Jeff Nelson has been lights out for the Ms.....what a pathetic dumb move by the Ms Benitez sucks Wow, I am shocked The Ms management got revenge on Nelson for opening his mouth, but that is crap. Players should be allowed to say what they feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox247 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Players should be allowed to say what they feel. And they get kicked out as a result. See: Keith Foulke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Benitez has some pretty impressive numbers I have to believe that Nelson is a ufa next year. After he spoke out of turn when the deadline passed (you wonder if he had spoken to someone the Yanks), you knew that if he was a ufa next yr they would try to deal him. Benito & cash for Nelson. Translation: NYY picking up the remainder of their contracts. The NYY just acquired a career 3.29 ERA with .222 opp BA. 2003: 643 OPS vs (589 vs RH, 729 vs LH). The M's just acquired a career 3.03 ERA with .188 opp BA. 2003: 648 OPS vs (563 vs RH, 725 vs LH). By looking at the #'s & Benito's 197 sv's over his career you can't blame the M's. I know Nelson has shown up in the playoffs over the years with the Yanks, but on paper the M's got the better player. Maybe this deal will come back to bit the Evil Empire in the arse.

LDF Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 did anyone saw this pr move by the yanks>>>>>>>>>>> Former stock-car driver and current car owner Richard Petty has formed a business partnership with the Yankees, The New York Times reported Aug. 5. One of Petty's drivers, Christian Fittipaldi, will drive a white Dodge with blue pinstripes and the Yankees' logo at the NASCAR Winston Cup race Aug. 10 at Watkins Glen, N.Y. "I'm just a good old Southern boy. But when you're talking about the Yankees, those are people you want to associate with," Petty, 63, told The Times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
