Jim Fainter Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Wouldn't it help if we sent certain established players down to the minors, if we are able to do so? For example, right now Konerko and Crede are doing nothing to help themselves or the team. PK is below the Mendoza line, and Crede can't be too many at bats from joining him. Send them both down to Charlotte until they get straightened out. If it happens in just 4-5 games, bring them back. Maybe a move like that would shake up a few players and remove some complacency. What can it hurt, other than the pride of whoever gets sent down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFan Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I say let Crede work it out on the ML level. PK, he would have to pass through waivers first. Although he is sticking up the joint, I doubt he would clear the wire. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 CaliSox: Are you sure PK would have to clear waivers? 99.9% sure. I think after 4 full years of service you have to clear waivers to be sent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 99.9% sure. I think after 4 full years of service you have to clear waivers to be sent down. If a team claimed him off waivers wouldn't they have to take his full salary. I think this would scare off many teams. I believe Crede is out of options as well.

I believe Crede is out of options as well. They would have to take the rest of his entire contract if someone claimed him off of waivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 How about some corked bats, and a urine smell around the ballpark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 It would be sort of nice to start over. Or trade our organization for the Expos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Sending Paulie down to the minors would work....you think anyone wants to take on a one dimensional firstbasemen who is guaranteed to make around $24 mill? I believe Crede is out of options, and as cheap as he is and as much potential as he has, he would not clear waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 It would be sort of nice to start over. Or trade our organization for the Expos. No that is idea I have never thought of... and you know what? It's a damn good one. JR has been a Selig buddy for many years, maybe MLB will buy him out, contract the Sox and then move the Spo's to Chicago to become a new fresh version of the White Sox. This might actually be doable. (sorry, Steff, I couldn't resist ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
