Balta1701 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) I would wager that he's gone at the end of the season, Tracy before then. I'll admit that the LAT has really gone down on the kid, but I was really under the impression that he was management's guy. Also...Tracy has 1 division championship to his credit. That kept Manuel around until 2003. I wager both are back next year, but Depodesta would have a much shorter leash next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a decent pitcher, and could help us out if we aquried him. i dont see why "some" (not sayitaintso) are shooting down the whole idea, he could alternate starts with duque, giving them both rest and both could throw a little session in the bullpen, IMO, it would work Edited June 22, 2005 by chi-guy2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 QUOTE(beck72 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) Before this gets into all the fantasy trade deals, let's get back to reality. There was a media report linking the sox to Lilly. Let's look at the reasoning behind the sox looking at him, instead of the pie in the sky crap It's not to get a top of the line SP. It's for a 5th SP type. Sorry about that, my fault. It's just that some sports stations out here have already begun discussing the inevitable dismantling of the boys in blue and my mouth started watering at the idea. As for Lily, he's a bust. Terrible idea. Kip Wells, anyone? :banghead Doh! did it again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that he was traded for Keilty, but on our team, who do you think it would take for us to get Lilly. Hard to say what Toronto wants or needs. The article speculated that Schoeneweis or Batista could go back to the rotation. Maybe a bullpen arm [vizcaino] or minor leaguers near ready for the majors who could pitch this yr [bobby Jenks or Bajenaru]. With two guys having off years like Vizcaino and Lilly, a swap could make sense [with the sox adding a prospect] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorthsox Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Just to point out the overlooked but obvious, who to say that they were scouting Lilly? There's another BJ that would be of interest to the Sox, Miguel Bautista. I know he didn't end up pitching that night but maybe the Sox felt that the best chance of seeing a reliever pitch was with Lilly starting. Anyhoo, just a thought.

Yet Lilly's a FA after this season, Batista has another year left on his deal. with the sox needing to sign Garland to a deal [and work on AJ, maybe Paulie], getting another contract in the mix hurts the chances of signing everyone. If the sox were looking at Batista, it wouldn't be the worst thing though for the bullpen. however, I see a LHP being added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly GB/FB 05 0.87, 04 0.80, 03 0.85 - comparable to El Duque's career Pick him up now & it will cost about $2M. Batista will probably cost $3M. 05 B-27th Batista, Miguel TOR R 2.50NPERA, 31.1IP, 18K's 04 A-31st Batista, Miguel TOR R 4.26NPERA, 198.2IP, 104K's 03 A-22nd Batista, Miguel ARI R 3.45NPERA, 193.1IP, 142K's 02 A-13th Batista, Miguel ARI R 3.33NPERA, 184.2IP, 112K's 2005 Pitches 1-15 .221A .267O .337S .604OOP Pitches 16-30 .227A .280O .273S .553OOP 2002-2005 Pitches 1-15 .288A .347O .464S .811OOP Pitches 16-30 .251A .338O .375S .713OOP There is risk in both of these guys. How will Batista do if called upon to spot start? Those 1-15 #'s for his past 3 yrs are not encouraging but he has a much better GB/FB ratio than Lilly. In Lilly's case his 1-15 are good for both his 3 yr & 2005 but his GB/FB is more like El Duque. How will he fare at the Cell? If Lilly is pitching well right now ... 14IP, 2R, 16K's vs STL & BAL ... I would choose him over Batista because a good LHP is a greater need on the White Sox than a strong RHP. Batista has not started one game this year. Pen makeup: RHP: Hermy, Politte, Shingo, Vizcaino, BMac LHP: Cotts, Marte Shingo is really coming on strong now that he is throwing more of a better fast ball. Before he was using it as an out pitch & now it's his main pitch. He uses the frisbee & other stuff to make the fast ball look much faster. Before he would lead with the frisbee. Now he's not afraid to lead with the fastball just off the zone. He's also take a nod from Buehlre & going upstairs more. I had every confidence that a guy with his experience would make the adjustments & he has. That gives the White Sox 3 quality RH's in the pen. Marte still looks shaky. He just doesn't have the control he had 2 yrs ago. Adding Lilly to the pen would be a good move. As for spot starts, Hermy is the best qualified but unless you plan on swinging a deal for a Guardado type closer you can't use him as both a spot-starter & closer. There's no good choice after him once BMac goes back. So Lilly would be a good choice for spot starts. As for what it will cost you, Lilly will certainly cost less in $, & probably less in talent. Of course he has 3 more quality starts before the break that could change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he would be better than El Duque, and if you need someone to spot start, and it means trading away players AND picking up salary, you are wasting your money. There is NO value making a trade for a lower tier starter, we already have 5 good ones, why add someone who is not as good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I think they meant green because Grienke will not be traded under any circumstances. He is the future of KC and dirt cheap. As for Lilly, I think hed fit nicely as he is left handed and would give our rotation better balance. They also could be trying to get one of Toronto's 3b, now that Hill is on fire and Hillenbrand, Hinske, and Koskie are going to be splitting time.
