Balta1701 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ick. 2 years and $11 million for this guy? I could be proven wrong, but my initial reaction is "Ick". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yes, but it also means that it isn't official yet. I believe the Sox had an agreement with a player a few years ago and he wound up taking a better offer.

daa84 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 QUOTE(striker62704 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 10:59 AM) Why does everyone hate MacDougal? He had a bad year last year but there were like 4 Whitesox that didn't. He was lights out in 2006 and has been alot healthier than Dotel. Â I like the signing, but you can never have too many bullpen arms. agree about macdougal 100%...people forget how good he was in 06 and even in 05 with the royals...he had a rough 07 but he has the potential to bounce back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be proven wrong, but my initial reaction is "Ick". its quite a bit of money, but it aint my money...and 5 mil is basically the going rate for an average player these days...i would have rather it been 1 year with an option, but good god its better than the 4 year deal we gave linebrink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsox Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 10 million for two guys creeping up in age and unreliability. Yikes. And if Jenks' agent, I'm taking notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircaffey Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 We guaranteed a 2nd year at $5.5 mil? I don't believe this contract until it's posted on the Sox website. Â I have no problem with $5.5 mil this season as we wouldn't have spent it on anything else anyways, but next year when the FA crop is much much better? Horrible if true.

WilliamTell Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) Option 1, while possible, does nothing for the Sox - the team doesn't need more outfielders. Option 2 will never ever happen. And Option 3 would be an awful trade for the Sox. Â Option 1 doesn't do much for the Brewers either, unless Braun is moving positions.

Horrible if true. To be fair though...this year's FA crop looked better than it wound up being as well. Things like the signing of Mark Buehrle, Jermaine Dye, Vernon Wells, etc., took several big money guys off the market, at least 1 big guy (Jones) had a horrible season, and you had the Yankees spending big money to keep their 3 guys from moving on also.

Horrible if true.  Kenny may be figuring that Konerko or Thome will be gone next year, so $5.5 million isn't too bad when you figure that in. Also know that Crede and Uribe will definitely be gone next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
