And someone from the Southotwn stuffed up here or KW doesn't know his prospects (Is that at all suprising). Adam McCarthy?

 

White Sox general manager Kenny Williams made two moves before coming to Anaheim, signing pitcher Dustin Hermanson and outfielder Jermaine Dye as free agents.

 

Williams is keeping an eye out for a No. 5 starter. If he doesn't find one this offseason, he has a few options within the organization, including Jason Grilli, whom the South Siders acquired in last year's Rule 5 draft.

 

In eight starts with the Sox in 2004, Grilli went 2-3 with a complete game and a 7.40 ERA. Williams liked what he saw from the right-hander.

 

"We recognize his ability to throw the power breaking ball," Williams said. "He has the power sinker. He has the changeup and the ability to soften up on the changeup. We'll give him every chance to compete.

 

"We may also bring Scott Schoeneweis back to start. He fit the bill for us before he got hurt last year. We have some options. Adam McCarthy (a minor leaguer) may jump up and force us to bring him with us. We have confidence in the options we do have."

Adam is another name for Brandon. My buddys real name is Adam but we call him Brandon.

Ahhh ok, that's my bad then.

Geez if we have to deal with Grilli being the 5th starter this team is in just as much trouble as last season....

Yup, my name is Rex, but lots of people call me Joe.

They said Schoeneweis was better suited for a bullpen job and now they're talking in the papers about him possibly being a 5th starter candidate.

 

Not a good idea.

Jason Grilli :headshake I don't care what ability he has, does he have the ability to win?

Adam is another name for Brandon. My buddys real name is Adam but we call him Brandon.

wow.... I never knew that s***...

We'll give him (Grilli) every chance to compete.

You have got to be f'n kidding me! :puke

You have got to be f'n kidding me!  :puke

Heh!

Pls no Grilli or Schoenweiss. I like the two moves KW just made but if he is not able to get us a pretty good starter for our 5th spot then I'd say this off season is not a successful one. But I still trust KW, look somewhere else....

I'd like to see someone else, but Schoenweis really wasn't bad when healthy.

Wow, Im shocked KW will give McCarthy a shot, I really would like to see what he can do at the ML level but I thought they didnt want to rush young guys like kip and garland.

 

 

 

 

Im surprised I haven't heard talk of signing oddalis perez, he was in a lot of trade last offseason of going to us for konerko.

I think Shoey is a waste.

 

waaah "I better be a starter" waaaaaah "or ELSE" waaaaaaah "I'll get hurt, er something" waaaaaaaahhh.

 

He can take that attitude somewhere else, IMO.

Yeah, Adam McCarthy.......

 

what the hell is up with that?

Adam is another name for Brandon. My buddys real name is Adam but we call him Brandon.

That is terrible, the names are not even close. You sure that it's just not your friends middle name? Because i just asked like five people and they have never heard of that.

KW is a bad gm, but hes not an idiot and knows his top prospect's name.

 

Im sure it can be said Adam as well.

Of course, there's always a possibility that the reporter thought he heard Adam instead of Brandon....

I can't beleive we're debating something that came from Knuckle, and appeared to me as a pretty clear joke. This is Knuckle, it's not like he has much credibility anyway.

Yeah, I got money on the reporter hearing him wrong.

There is just no way KW doesn't know the guys name.

Shoe as a fifth starter wouldnt be bad. Let's be realistic about our needs. I'd be happy with four bonafide starters and a fifth starter who you feel has at least a chance of turning in a decent performance. That alone would make it an improvement over the last two years of starter number five.
