witesoxfan Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 The Mariners released Paul Abbott today....and it would not surprise me in the slightest if KW picked him up, and to a major league deal too. If it was to a minor league deal it wouldn't be so bad, but knowing KW, he'll try to add by subraction. Is this the type of move some were talking about? If it is, I can almost feel another Todd Ritchie performance coming on...:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Why not take a shot on him if he comes cheaply. Abbott isn't great, but he did have a damn good year two years ago and is still a solid option. Plus, its always nice to have some arms cause everyone is always looking for pitchers and plenty of times you can throw in guys like these to get a deal done, especially if the salary is cheap.

Mr. Showtime Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 All I remember about Abbott was him owning the Sox in game two of the ALDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 As soon as I saw this, I thought that KW might pick him up. Might be worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Its amazing how when we think the Sox can pick up a player cheap and its a pitcher we just know KW will at least make a push at him. Man, its too bad we couldn't think that when front line players were available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
