December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(kman @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 12:28 AM) oh thanks for reasurring me man. I do what I can.
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(Tadahito Iguchi @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) ok, I wasn'y completely sure if my info matched the other threads but I guess it does, Thanks, So what do you guys make of this deal? I'm not liking it to much I think Chris Young is going to be a hell of a player..........And I think Vasquez will get lit up at the cell..............BTW does he have any playoff experience? Ya, with the Yanks (or did he not pitch when the Yanks were in the playoffs?)
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 06:29 AM) Ya, with the Yanks (or did he not pitch when the Yanks were in the playoffs?) I know he pitched and got bombed in Game 7 of the ALCS.
December 14, 200520 yr So what the hell are we doing next now that we have 6 starters? Any ideas? Buehrle Garcia Contreras Garland Vazquez McCarthy
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 12:26 AM) I think this deal is a clear sign that Garland is going to get dealt. B Mac is READY to start, simple as that, and Garland would be gone after this year for nothing. Say we trade Duque and Young for Vasquez, then trade Garland. That leaves us with Buehrle, Contreras, Garcia, Vasquez, B Mac as the rotation next year. Not bad at all. Plus we might we something awfully sweet in a deal where we give up Garland, even if he's a rental pitcher (quality pitching ain't easy to find!) Just trust Kenny guys, he's not dumb. Garland might be dealt. I don't think so though. I think Kenny will just ride him out for the year and then let him or Contreras go at season's end, depending on who does the worse this upcoming year.
December 14, 200520 yr Plus guys....even if this deal has nothing attached as a domino to it.....we are giving up the old and creeky El Duque for a 29 year old with a great arm that IMO with Coop could be awfully good....a prospect (a good one, but yeah so was Jeremy Reed, we know how Kenny feels about them) and maybe a relief pitcher. I like the deal by itself to be honest with you.
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) I know he pitched and got bombed in Game 7 of the ALCS. It wasn't pretty, I'm pretty sure he got nailed in the DS as well.
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) So what the hell are we doing next now that we have 6 starters? Any ideas? Buehrle Garcia Contreras Garland Vazquez McCarthy McCarthy will probably be our LR or start in AAA(prolly long reliever) and Vizcaino won't be doing as much mopup duty.
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 01:29 AM) Ya, with the Yanks (or did he not pitch when the Yanks were in the playoffs?) 11.1 IP in 2004.
December 14, 200520 yr I know this may be Xbox, but how great would a Garland and Crede for Tejada deal be, we would move Uribe to 3rd, or trade those two guys for a 3rd or SS because Boras is Credes agent so we all know what that means................
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 06:30 AM) So what the hell are we doing next now that we have 6 starters? Any ideas? Buehrle Garcia Contreras Garland Vazquez McCarthy Who knows? Probably trade Garland for a legitamate OFer or put McCarthy in the pen. Although i know for a fact he is ready to start. I guess KW likes the fact of having insurance in a 6th starter, so look for BMac to be in our bullpen/ spot starter when needed.
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 12:29 AM) Ya, with the Yanks (or did he not pitch when the Yanks were in the playoffs?) He pitched out of the bullpen for the Yankees. Kevin Brown started the game and got bombed against Boston. Then they brought in Javier Vazquez and several other guys who got bombed in that game. Coop will fix him.
December 14, 200520 yr McCarthy will probably be our LR or start in AAA(prolly long reliever) and Vizcaino won't be doing as much mopup duty. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't see that happening. McCarthy is ready to be in someone's rotation, not a long reliever.
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 12:33 AM) I don't see that happening. McCarthy is ready to be in someone's rotation, not a long reliever. It doesn't matter if we think he's ready, I guarentee you he isn't dealt unless we totally rip off someone and I guarentee you he doesn't start.
December 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) Garland might be dealt. I don't think so though. I think Kenny will just ride him out for the year and then let him or Contreras go at season's end, depending on who does the worse this upcoming year. I hope your right and keep Garland to be honest. I just get the feeling that he is going to get dealt, especially assuming this happens and we get Vasquez. The way Kenny talks about the pitching market, I think there is just about no chance we sign Garland after next year, and Kenny is a shrewd guy and knows he can get a lot for Jon if he trades him this offseason (a proven OF?). Plus, the Buehrle/Count/Garcia/Vasquez/B Mac rotation is still one of the better ones in baseball. Just my opinion and speculation though, I've been plenty wrong before.

December 14, 200520 yr D-Backs, White Sox near Vazquez deal Righty appears headed to Sox for Hernandez, Young http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article...e2005&fext=.jsp PHOENIX -- It appears the Diamondbacks and White Sox are close to a deal that would send Javier Vazquez to Chicago in exchange for pitcher Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez and highly regarded outfielder Chris Young. The two teams are expected to announce the deal on Wednesday.
December 14, 200520 yr Buehrle to the bullpen anyone? There's our 2nd lefty. I'm joking by the way. Edited December 14, 200520 yr by Rowand44

As our current rotation stands, we have the best in the league. I strongly believe that.
December 14, 200520 yr I figured that El Duque would be dealt in the offseason. Every time a team tries to move him to the bullpen from the rotation, he protests.
December 14, 200520 yr As our current rotation stands, we have the best in the league. I strongly believe that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Best in the MLB. Hell, we have 6 good starters, lol.

Oh I agree, and IMO it gets better with a Vasquez for Duque swap. It's just, we are 6 deep....and as nice as that is, we can trade Garland for a proven 3rd outfielder (even move Pods to CF to put a corner guy in left) rather than lose him after this season, and STILL have ONE OF the best in the game. Sounds pretty enticing if you as me.
