Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I haven't seen any comment about the Orioles picking up Grimsley. I think we could have used him, and it didn't seem like they gave up much. Grimsley would have made Politte obsolitte (heh heh), which strikes me as a good thing. Plus Frank wouldn't have to face Grimsley anymore. Frank vs. Grimsley, not a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Kansas City doesn't want to trade anyone to the Sox I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 For the record, Kansas City has not made a trade with the White Sox since 1987. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetman Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Grimsley is an ok reliever. We could use an ok reliever, but I wouldn't have given anything of value for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 :headshake we shouldve picked him up. Yeah or not. Â He would be Billy Koch all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 These guys being given away by the Royals, they're not good. We don't want them. They're worse than what we have. Â Throwing s*** against a wall and seeing if it sticks isn't a good strategy for finding bullpen guys. Â However, it is a valid method for finding a fifth starter.

Gene Honda Civic Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 They gave up a Minor leager with a career 3.58ERA prior to this season... Seems like a decent prospect. About the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyMan56 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Why do the O's need a reliever for one of their better prospects when theyre not even in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Why do the O's need a reliever for one of their better prospects when theyre not even in it? I'm pretty sure they already signed him to an extension too... Â They are thinking long term... They can't win this year, but they want to have a good nucleus in place for the following years. They don't want to allienate fan base in the interim by making wholesale cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Why do the O's need a reliever for one of their better prospects when theyre not even in it? It may be a deal made so that the O's can put together a package of bullpen guys to trade for some starting pitching help. I'd love to have Julio, Groom or BJ Ryan in a Sox uni.

redandwhite Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 My thoughts on Jason Grimsley are pretty simple, not worth Denny Bautista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a decent prospect for a throw away reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
