soxfan49 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 His WHIP is a touch over 1.3 which isn't good, but his ERA is respectable and his control is really good. It'd be a good move, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Source: #WhiteSox acquire Brett Myers from #Astros. Decent veteran arm. Will surely depend on who we gave up to evaluate this deal. Myers himself should be a useful arm out of the pen. Closing experience, starting experience and still only 31 years old.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 lol. Hasn't KW said, I don't know, a billion times that character counts when evaluating/acquiring players? That just went out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Make him a starter, make him a starter. LOL. Well, closing in the NL Central is a lot different than doing it against the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, Angels and Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I forgot that they just promoted him. I am just hoping it's someone I don't care about. For some reason, I love Saladino and would hate to see him traded.

I don't expect Myers to hold much value, but what would be the point of them trading for those two? Maybe Heidenreich and someone with a bit more value than Wilkins. The Sox have a history of trading guys soon after a promotion to try and improve the player's value though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Well, I'm 100% sure KW talked to Gavin about him. ■11:$7M, 12:$11M, 13:$10M club option ($3M buyout) A commitment of $6.5-7 million dollars, with that buyout. One would think we didn't give up much at all to clear that buyout from their payroll obligations. So we have buyouts now for Peavy, Youkilis, Thornton and Myers now.
