It doesnt take a baseball expert ot figure out that the main concern of the white sox is pitching. Since we lost Bartolo, we need a great pitcher to lead the rest of the staff. I was thinking about kevin millwood. Is there another availiable player that we could add to the roster that would be just as good? or not

hey-

 

I say we keep Maggs and try to pull off the Konerko-Perez or Valentin-Guillen deal. This may free up some money to go after Ponson. I think Millwood is probably too expensive.

First off, welcome you 2 to the boards!!!

 

As for Millwood...I don't see him as being anywhere near worth where he and his agent have valued his services. Being in South Carolina, I got to see Millwood every 5th day and heard all about him all the time. In Atlanta, he was never real consistent at all, and I cant see paying 12-15 mill per season for a guy with the makeup of Kevin Millwood. As for Ponson, I'm still a little concerned about us getting him, but I also know that we need someone, and he fits the bill at around $6 mil per. It all starts with moving some of Konerko/Valentin/Koch/Maggs.

Yeah I agree Millwood isn't worth the 12-15 million he is looking for...Ponson if that offer is true (which I highly doubt it is) he wants 18 mil over 3 years....I still say wait for Garcia and take your chances with him , I still think he has a lot left ..

 

 

p.s. capt 12 you are from south carolina??? bc I am to , where abouts are you from

The Dodgers will not do that. Forget about it.

Understatement of the year; Boras is reportedly looking for 13-14 Mill a YEAR. I wouldn't pay 8 Mill for him. But then again, I am stupid like that, not paying 1/7th of the entire payroll for a pitcher who'd be lucky to have a 4.00 ERA in a hitter's park in AL.

The Dodgers will not do that. Forget about it.

And I don't want Perez after he goes through arbitration, either. Works out well for both sides, doesn't it?

Hehe...yep...we are easily identifiable.

 

traydragen, I'm from Greenville...live in Anderson now....where abouts in this wonderfully inept state are you from?

Hey Capt. from West Columbia but I am now living in Columbia / a freshman at the lovely University of South Carolina now..

Welcome to the board you two!

 

Milwood's probably out of our league w/ his asking price...I see him just signing a one year deal w/ Philly, and then testing the FA market again next year when the pitching available is much weaker.

Millwood is supposed to be accepting arbitration from philly. I wish we had that luck with colon. With millwood accepting arb. the phillies are going to be awsome in the national league one of the best there. They did alot of aquasititons this winter so far revamped there whole bullpen and i think they got a starting pitcher also.

Yeah they got Eric Milton from the Twinkie

Thanks, i knew they had gotten milton. I just couldnt remember at the moment with all this confusion going on with us.

Hell yeah, I know for a fact that I dont want him unless we are able to dump salary for him. He is worthless to me.
