January 14, 200422 yr So far we've signed: Jose Santiago, Mike Jackson, Cliff Politte, and Robert Person. Santiago had good 2003 stats, and if he comes near them in 2004, I say it's a success. Mike Jackson has been a dominant RP his whole career. Has age affected him yet? No it hasn't. It depends on how well he will do this season. If he has a sub 4.00 ERA, it's a success. Politte was a feature setup in the past and throws the ball hard, he'll likely benefit from the AL Central. I think this one will work out. Robert Person? This guy has alot to prove. I don't know much about him, but I don't think he'll be another Loaiza.
January 14, 200422 yr Author Person's pre 2003 scouting from ESPN.com "Pitching Person is a straight-ahead, power pitcher who is learning to pitch relatively late in life. His fastball reaches the mid-90s, and his arsenal also includes a sharp slider, splitter, curveball and changeup. He held hitters to a .234 average last season, displaying the best command of his career. When Person places his fastball well early in the count, his slider and splitter can emerge as additional strikeout pitches. He is an extreme flyball pitcher whose mistakes often leave the park. He maintains his velocity deep into games and held opponents to a .125 average after the 105th pitch last season. " Sound familiar? Reminds me of Baldwin.

His new scouting report: Robert Person: Walks too many hitters(averages 5.5 walks per 9). Nicknames include but are not limited to gas can and/or Jose Paniagua(thanks to his 5.44 ERA in 2002, and his 7.71 ERA in 11.7 innings in 2003). Not a bad cleanup hitter though. His career high in RBI for one game is 7, which is better then Frank Thomas's career high in that category. About the only positive is that he has good stuff, and that he is cheap. I'm looking so forward to seeing Robert Person take the mound for the White Sox!
