He is not 43, he is 38.

Sorry Jeckle, even though I've had my differences with Cerb, I gotta hand it to him on this post: You got....

Jeckle, look at the stats, you are crazy if you think Garland is better than Javier Vazquez. Not saying I want the guy, but Jon Garland is far from better than him. Just because he had a bad season under the NY spotlight, which many players have and will have, doesn't make the guy a bad pitcher. Is he overpaid? Certainly. Is he overrated? Perhaps. Is he worse than Garland? Not a chance. Look at the numbers. 4.68, 46-51, 436 K's, 328 walks, 788 IP - Garland 4.26, 78-78, 1226 K's, 391 walks, 1,427 IP - Vazquez

I am not in a huge rush to give A Row big money, especially with Anderson and Sweeney developing nicely. Let's see what he does this season and then work out a multi-year deal.

I think we should all put the personal bickering aside and discuss the deal. Usually when things stray off-topic is when we run into trouble and end up having to close threads. Just stating this now before anything else is said and I am not pointing this comment towards anyone. If someone has a problem, deal with it directly through PM to one of the admins/mods or with the person involved. Or perhaps discuss it on the SL&P board.

I have updated the title of this thread to reflect the following from Whitesox.com:

This is a better option than any of these guys: Diaz, Grilli, Munoz, Cotts, Adkins. Quit complaining people. Deal with it. You'll be glad we didn't overpay for Odalis Perez's chunky ass.

I never wanted him anyhow, so who cares.

Exactly, which isn't worth it. No way to Johnson, it's just not worth it. We wouldn't win the World Series if we got him anyhow.

I am fine with our staff if we get Duque. Don't f***ing trade for Vazquez or Johnson.

Are these morons oblivious to the El Duque deal?

Mariotti wonders why Sox would take Vaz's terrible contract over a "sure-thing" in Clement.... Please, f***ing spare me.

Mariotti tells Bruce to lighten up...

Mariotti laughing his ass of at the fact that if the Cubs were trying to trade for Green, they would have to compensate for his Lakers season tickets monetarily. Pretty funny stuff. Now he is talking about Vaz to the Sox.

Talking about Sammy for Shawn Green now... Both morons think the deal makes sense.

I'd rather be a huge player in next year's offseason with Sheets and Santana as FA rather than blow money now on a guy like Odalis Perez. Just my two cents.

He's not 45. And this is a solid pickup for the Sox. Big game pitcher. You can argue he was the Yankees best pitcher last season. And plenty of playoff experience. If he is only expected to be our #5, this is a good move for us. Definitely better than overpaying for a guy like Clement.

Just wanted to see what everyone thought, at least those of you who listened or still do listen to them. Personally my favorite is Black, definitely one of their more meaningful songs and something a lot of us can relate to.

One reason for his success is Stokley and primarily Harrison. Make him the #1 receiver on someone's team and see what he does.

While Peyton is one of my favorite players, Brady still owns him until Manning gets the ring.

I agree, this guy has been b****ing about wanting to be a starter for such a long time, but in reality, that's exactly what he is, a scrub.

I'd take him in a heartbeat over Harris.

Perhaps we should create a newbie training board to teach and guide our huge influx of noobs.
