beck72 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 Pavano would be great. But, I doubt the Sox are going to get the most coveted FA pitcher. The Yankees need him and the Yankees get what they want. If one is realistically looking at what the Sox might end up getting (if they go after a FA starter at all...you know how KW loves trades), Lowe is more likely. His numbers haven't been great, so he won't get premium money. He's not a great starter, but at least he has a penchant for groundballs, and maybe he'll give up fewer homers than Judy. I could see Lowe as a Garland replacement if he were traded. But not as the Sox "big" FA SP pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 You're probably right that they can afford to sign one or two of those. Radke probably is at the top of the list. If they pick up Guzman's option at $5 million, then Ryan isn't as smart as I think he is. I agree, no way guzman is worth five million he is pretty s***ty offensively.

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Maybe I missed this, how about HRs allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Maybe I missed this, how about HRs allowed? Usually, GO-AO is a good enough indicator of how a pitcher would do in our park. If he is a flyball pitcher, he will not throw well...he can allow 10 homers all season, but if his GO-AO ratio is like 0.75, he will not pitch well in USCF.
