July 3, 200421 yr PTI reported the other day that Pavano dumped Milano. No wonder he lost his last start.
July 3, 200421 yr Given a choice, I'd rather overpay Garcia than overpay Loaiza. And yes, Pavano would be a suitable replacement. You would hope we don't overpay anyone. The Orioles overpaid Ponson big time and based their decision on one real good season from the guy. How many fans wanted Ponson in a Sox uniform and wanted the Sox to pay the guy $7M a year? Loaiza is a very good pitcher and we should resign him at fair value. The option is we are back to needing a 4th or 5th starter in '05 and are struggling again. Loaiza is a winner and will solidify the pitching staff. Garcia is a good pitcher and adding Garcia to the group of E LO, Mark B and Jon G we have a great starting staff. We also now see we have options for #5 with Shoe, Diaz and Rauch, et al. We need some staff stability. I think Kenny needs to get that job done and concenrate on getting Maggs resigned and add some middle relief.
