January 7, 200422 yr The Sox are close to signinig Cliff Politte to a one year deal. We knew this, but it had yet to be confirmed in the paper.
January 7, 200422 yr Is Damian Moss signed yet? Damian Moss won't be coming to the Sox. But it's ok, we've got Scott Schoenweis...
January 7, 200422 yr I don't get why people are so high on Damian Moss, he's 27, he's had one fluk season and it's not like he has good stuff or great control. At this point he's no better than Scott Schoenweis.
January 7, 200422 yr Agreed. Damien Moss would give up 30-plus homers at Comiskey If Scho starts, he'll be giving up plenty more than 30 homeruns this season
January 7, 200422 yr I'm not too excited about signing this guy, but at least they are doing something.
January 7, 200422 yr If Scho starts, he'll be giving up plenty more than 30 homeruns this season To be fair Scho has never been a guy to give up a lot of HR's, only 3 in 64.2 innigs last season and he's never given up more than 21 in a single season.
January 7, 200422 yr I'm not too excited about signing this guy, but at least they are doing something. Low-risk, high reward. If Politte pitches well, we get a steal. The guy has a 96-98 MPH heater....that's pretty damn good.
January 7, 200422 yr It is official now. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cha
January 8, 200422 yr The big question is this: Which major offseason acquisition will propel the Sox to the division title? Pollite or Uribe? Wow, that's a tough one. I say Uribe.
January 8, 200422 yr You guys really didn't have any idea on how this guy pitches, but it sounds nice. "Pitching & Defense Politte could mature into a closer. He has excellent command of an overpowering four-seam fastball that is clocked regularly at 96 MPH and goes up to 98. He hits both sides of the plate, up and down. His slider runs 88-90 MPH, and he works in a two-seam fastball and a changeup. In his few chances, he showed well as a fielder. He is quick to the plate with a simple delivery and can get the ball home in 1.2 seconds, which should make him difficult to run on." -ESPN PLAYER PROFILE I like the 98 MPH fastball.
