Rowand44 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 We're not the Blue Jays, I'm confused. Â Seriously though, that's a real nice deal, welcome back AJP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Very nice. Now we can really take our time with Flowers, or trade him. Â Now if we can get PK back and address the bullpen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Hates Prospects Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Great, great deal and a bargain too! I love you AJ, and thank you Kenny for not f***ing this one up. Phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 I fully expect to hear that PK has been signed, Linebrink and Teahen moved, Byrdak signed and Man Soo Lee brought back to Chicago by midnite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 3, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) Flowers can now be traded for a bucket of chicken. Â Why trade him when his value is at its lowest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 10:30 PM) Why trade him when his value is at its lowest? His value could actually still go down from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I watched White Men Can't Jump the other night. Â What Kenny is doing reminds me of when Wesley Snipes is pulling money out of his hat, his socks, his crotch, and says "Oh my, it's coming from everywhere..."

IMO that depends on what we get at 1B. If PK is back I think you're definitely right, but if it's someone cheaper maybe we can work it in. We could always look to add some relief help by trading prospects and if necessary trying to get a little cash back in the deal. We're probably pretty close to our budget though.

Guess AJ really did want to come back. He probably waited until he had a legitimate offer on the table from the Blue Jays, called up KW and asked him to beat it, and they were happy to.

That decrease in value is probably not worth the risk of not allowing him to try and realize his potential. At this point, it's probably best to just hope he pans out.

DirtySox Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Yuck. Hopefully the decline stops. Would be much more palatable at 1 year or 1 and an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 AJ is top 3 or 4 in Sox jerseys seen at USCF at most games. Â This is a true PR move as well as a vet re-signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other team is going to give up anything of value for him at this point. Not sure about the option, but you just created the perfect situation for keeping him around by signing AJ to that contract.
