toasty Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 quote from article on mlb.com (regarding milwood) Clement was the last of the three pitchers to do so, and he ended up joining Wells in Boston after narrowing his choices to the Red Sox, the Angels and the Indians.

YASNY Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 It really doesn't matter whether we finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 16th in the Clement sweepstakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I'm glad the Sox didn't finish first in the Matt Clement Lottery. The Red Sox may well regret winning that lottery as much as that old Southern guy regrets winning that 314 million dollar Lotto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthraxFan93 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Thats great, Clement is not a pitcher we want here..a journeymen who makes to much money IMO How much you guys/gals want to bet Garcia is kicking himself for signing that contract!! With his skills he could have easyly demanded 10 mil a year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 How much you guys/gals want to bet Garcia is kicking himself for signing that contract!! With his skills he could have easyly demanded 10 mil a year... I doubt Garcia feels that way at all. At the time their was as big a buzz around him as their was about RJ right now. He's not stupid and I believe he knew he could of gotten much more on the open market then he got here at the time. I think he chose to play here because of Ozzie and the fact that maybe he was actually happy here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Some of you guys are really hypocritical. When we were in the sweepstakes to sign him everyone was like "Yeah, were gonna a get a front line starter!" or "This is gonna give us the best rotation." Now, we figure out he wasn;t in the running to sign here and everyone says "Who cares." and "It doesn't matter, he got too much." BULLs***! We all wanted him here. MB, GF, MC, JC, and JG is a better rotation than the one we have now. I don't give a s*** about payroll anymore. C'mon guys, let' be real. We all wanted him here. I don't think theres any question that he is better than El Duque. Don't ge me wrong, I love El Duque but I would like Clement in a White Sox jersey better. It's bulls*** to say somthing before the outcome and when you see the results, change your mind. PLEASE! I dont give a f*** if he was on the Cubs, Yankees, Devil Rays A Team, or in the Azerbeijan Minor Leaugues. If he is gonaa help our team, good.

SoxFan1 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Now as far as Freddy goes, I'm glad we got that contract signed during the season. He could be making big money right now with another team in need of a starter or that signed and overpaid for a starter. The Reds, Mariners, Yankees, Red Sox, and a couple other teams could have paid him a lot more than we do. He made the right choice in the end. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 oh well, we didn't get him, now it doesn't really matter if we were or weren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking for only myself, I was glad the Sox were trying to get SOMEONE, not necessarily Matt Clement ( I wanted them to go after Jon Lieber ). But after the ship sailed, I was relieved that the Sox didn't raise the ante out of desperation. Clement is a decent pitcher, but the market overinflated his value. As it stands, given the payroll the Sox are allowing themselves to spend, they got a risky pitcher with the potential to be very good. Plus, Hernandez is cheaper and signed for a shorter term than Clement would have been. I think Boston overpaid for a guy who in my mind is a bit of a risk himself, having faded late in the last two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston's almost going to have to handle Clement like we are with Henrandez, very carefully by lowering pitch counts etc. Plus you don't just don't know how each pitcher is going to perform in their new park.
