July 19, 200421 yr Everett can opt out of his contract after the 2004 season, and there's a team option for $5 million in 2006 that also includes a $500,000 buyout. The White Sox are responsible for only a pro-rated minimum salary during the remainder of the 2004 season, or less than $150,000.
July 19, 200421 yr Welcome Back Crazy Carl! I can officially move him off of my "Favorite Former White Sox Player(s)" and back to "Favorite White Sox Player(s)" in my profile He is who I have listed in that slot, but I'm not sure who I'll put there now.... Robert Machado?

They aren't paying him much anything, which means the Sox still have the ability to add another pitcher or catcher.
July 19, 200421 yr I just heard about this news and I am absolutely thrilled about having Everett back in Chicago
July 19, 200421 yr Dang, doesn't sound too bad. They aren't paying him much anything, which means the Sox still have the ability to add another pitcher or catcher. Ahhhh Jason.... The catcher from Montreal.... the one you want as you put in your sig, is Brian Schneider not Matt... Unless he's got a twin brother we don't know about
July 19, 200421 yr Ahhhh Jason.... The catcher from Montreal the one you want as put in your sig, is Brain Schneider not Matt... Unless he's got a twin brother we don't know about My bad...fixed
July 19, 200421 yr Why do you say it's guaranteed Rauch will never be better than a No. 5 starter? That reliever we gave up sounds decent, too, if it's true he throws 95. Hopefully that was a typo by somebody. We would not give up a 95 mph fastball for aging, injured. Carl Everett.
July 19, 200421 yr If acquiring Everett is officially saying good bye to Maggs, god help our organization. I know Carl Everett and he cannot clean maggs' spikes.

You can throw 100 if you throw it straight in the Majors you're gonna get hit, Just ask Billy Koch

Their are tons and tons and tons of guys with great arms that don't pan out. As far as Rauch goes, he would never amount to anything if he stayed in Chicago. He may turn into a decent 4 or 5 somewhere else (I doubt it), but regardless of the fact, it wasn't happening in Chicago, so Im' glad the Sox got something of value for him. Majewski is a relief prospect and the Sox have a lot of other guys producing, although I don't think any of them have as good of an arm. But I am probably the person highest on Majewski. One thing to watch is that none of the other organizations he's ever been on have thought to highly of him. Like Cheat said, he may just find a way back to Chicago before its all set or done. This also opens up a spot on the 40 man roster.

July 19, 200421 yr He will be better in RF than Gload would be. My dog could play a better RF than Gload.
July 19, 200421 yr You can throw 100 if you throw it straight in the Majors you're gonna get hit, Just ask Billy Koch Except...Billy Botch topped out at about 93 MPH in his stint with the Sox. But I see what you're trying to say.
July 19, 200421 yr Majewski is gone cause of one guy.. Bajenaru Sox are probably higher on Bajenaru right now No reason not to be. The only other guy they could give a look at is Matt Smith.
July 19, 200421 yr You can throw 100 if you throw it straight in the Majors you're gonna get hit, Just ask Billy Koch Botch never threw 100 MPH for us, more like low 90's, and with no movement he got hammered.
July 19, 200421 yr Botch never threw 100 MPH for us, more like low 90's, and with no movement he got hammered. I know that. But i've seen many guys throw really hard and get hit.
July 19, 200421 yr Well, getting Jurrasic is a gamble. I hated giving up Rauch simply because he was a tradable commodity. However, apparently, teams weren't knocking down the dor trying to get him after KW announced that Rauch was done with the Sox. This could prove to be a minimum risk, High yeild deal for us though.
July 19, 200421 yr I just got back from vacation and i heard in the hotel that the sox aquired everett for minor leaguers, i got a little worried but i dont think Rauch and Maj are too much, i like it
