April 1, 200620 yr QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 11:17 AM) Nothing on whitesox.com yet. I smell a lame April Fool's "joke". This has got to be a hoax.
April 1, 200620 yr QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 12:18 PM) I haven't found anything anywhere, so my suspicions are rising. Seems like really odd timing, unless it was for a sign and trade deal for Pujols.
April 1, 200620 yr QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 12:21 PM) its a done deal http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/transactions I think WhiteSox.com would know more than ESPN.com. My guess is that ESPN just heard it on the Score, so put it up there. We'll see though. Nope, its there on WhiteSox.com. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws Edited April 1, 200620 yr by Felix

April 1, 200620 yr Yep, just saw the blurb on whitesox.com too. This signs Contreras through age 56, right?

April 1, 200620 yr I wonder what this means for McCarthy, we have 5 more established starters signed through '07.
April 1, 200620 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 11:26 AM) I wonder what this means for McCarthy, we have 5 more established starters signed through '07. Might get traded for a closer and a good one is my thought.
April 1, 200620 yr QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 11:27 AM) Might get traded for a closer and a good one is my thought. definatley makes him more attractive for a trade. Also, its nice to have this many SP's signed in case of injury, revert back to norm, or anything else.

I say there's no way in hell we move McCarthey, he's about 30 years younger than Contreras and has a couple years yet until he even hits arbitration. You don't just trade a player as awesome as McCarthy, he's the total package, ability, cost and youth.
April 1, 200620 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 12:26 PM) I wonder what this means for McCarthy, we have 5 more established starters signed through '07. I guess it depends on the "No-Trade" clauses in the Top 5 starters contracts. I would think they would trade one of them before trading McCarthy.
April 1, 200620 yr QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 05:27 PM) Might get traded for a closer and a good one is my thought. I doubt it. Atleast not yet. KW likes his starting pitching depth. I think McCarthy is going to stick around a bit.

Especially with all our starters signed, makes it easier to make a deal. We shall see what transpires in the future.

McCarty can go as well. Kip Wells had betetr numbers in his firts 7 starts than McCarthy.

Kip Wells had betetr numbers in his firts 7 starts than McCarthy. Because I've seen McCarthy pitch and from what I've seen he appears to be the real deal. It seems KW likes McCarthy comming out of the pen.
