CWSGuy406 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I, for one, will admit that I was wrong about one thing. During the offseason, I was wanting desperately another quality starter. I blindly thought that adding an arm such as Odalis Perez would really improve our staff. I thought that trading Paul Konerko and adding Perez would be a great trade - I think this season will prove me being wrong. In two starts so far, Perez has lasted a total of 11 and 2/3rds innings, giving up 16 hits and 4 walks, and a 5 + ERA. I know the season is still very, very young, but I for one am glad that Kenny didn't pull the trigger on a deal of Odalis Perez for Paul Konerko...

Spiff Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I never wanted Perez, even though everyone was all over him when it looked like we would get Nomar and trade him to LA. He's as overrated as they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxShuf Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Konerko is definitley trying to prove all his critics wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Freddy Garcia for Jose Valentin was the one I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxShuf Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Though Valentin has been shaky, I am glad we kept him. I am loving the addition of Uribe because it is putting pressure on him and Harris to perform well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Though Valentin has been shaky, I am glad we kept him. I am loving the addition of Uribe because it is putting pressure on him and Harris to perform well. you mean for Uribe as in not commit an error and drop a double play ball? PK looks energised and has something to prove and I was glad the fans demanded a curtain call from him on the home run, that is class to say you had a rough year and we are here for you wanting you to do well. I am glad the proposed trade did not happen. As someone else said, wisely, that pitcher (in my opinion) is overrated. I will never agree on keeping Valentin, the wonderful StJosE6. But I am not saying anything not positive today because we won the home opener! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I really like the team we have right now....I was also a pusher for the Odalis trade, but I think we'll see that KW was smart not to pull the trigger on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I wanted Konerko for Perez to get done badly. It would have given us a much needed 4th starter, and really, when all things are considered, we only knew that we had a solid 1-2-3, and we really had no clue how the 4 and 5 spots where going to shape up. If Paulie can force feed me crow, then by god do it. If he wants to put up a .310 30 110 season, he sure as hell can, and I'll be looking forward to my crow.

Mr. Showtime Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox try again for Garcia come July. It's early, but the M's are an old team that needs to be blown up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike12345 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Freddy Garcia wont help this team either...we dont need guys that are just average pitchers..i'd rather let cotts or another prospect get a chance to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Freddy Garcia wont help this team either...we dont need guys that are just average pitchers..i'd rather let cotts or another prospect get a chance to start There is a reason you don't touch a hot stove after you have touched it once already. We tried that route last year(going with Porzio, Wright, Stewart, and Cotts in the #5 spot), and that could be what bit us in the ass and gave the Twins a playoff birth and not us. Why on earth would you want to do it again? Give me a proven starter, or atleast someone that will pitch well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 hmmm that would be very interesting. foreshadowing per say. I don't have any inside scoop or anything. I just think he's a guy they can get, who won't cost a major prospect. Plus, he's a guy who's got playoff expierence and perhaps Ozzie could work some of his mojo on him.
