December 3, 201015 yr We're not the Blue Jays, I'm confused. Seriously though, that's a real nice deal, welcome back AJP!
December 3, 201015 yr Very nice. Now we can really take our time with Flowers, or trade him. Now if we can get PK back and address the bullpen...
December 3, 201015 yr Great, great deal and a bargain too! I love you AJ, and thank you Kenny for not f***ing this one up. Phew!
December 3, 201015 yr Author 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.
December 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 3, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) Flowers can now be traded for a bucket of chicken. Why trade him when his value is at its lowest?
December 3, 201015 yr 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.
December 3, 201015 yr I watched White Men Can't Jump the other night. 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..."
December 3, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) Like Rowand said, this is a very nice deal. KHP, I'm happy for you! I know some people were wanting to move on, but yeah, pretty darn affordable. Guess AJ really did want to come back.
December 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) What a night, but someone has to get traded now Buehrle or Quentin. 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.

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.
December 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) His value could actually still go down from here. 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.
December 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 09:30 PM) Why trade him when his value is at its lowest? To buy low on a bucket of chicken.
December 3, 201015 yr Yuck. Hopefully the decline stops. Would be much more palatable at 1 year or 1 and an option.
December 3, 201015 yr Damn Im suprised... looks like the sox arent being cheapasses for once and will go all out..

At this point, it's probably best to just hope he pans out. If some other team wants him, you don't say no. He probably has what, 1 more option left?
December 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) WOW, Christmas came early. Welcome back AJ! Great news! Now let's re-sign Paulie, get a closer and a RFer and we're good to go!
December 3, 201015 yr AJ is top 3 or 4 in Sox jerseys seen at USCF at most games. This is a true PR move as well as a vet re-signing.
December 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) If some other team wants him, you don't say no. He probably has what, 1 more option left? 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.
