RockRaines Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 01:33 PM) the opposing team never gives praise to a departed player, its the code of fans. No, they are saying its a bad trade for them. Check it out. Alot of them are worried because Lopez sucks compared to Riske in their careers.

southsider2k5 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) ...with the contract ending after the 2006 season. This was exactly the sort of guy Williams was looking for.  If the bullpen continues on in these dire straits, he may go for broke and make some sort of blockbuster deal around the deadline. But, in the meantime, Riske will be used in an attempt to stop the bleeding. It's almost a showcase to see if more drastic moves need to be made.  Consider this a McDonalds wake up call to Agustin Montero and Cliff Politte.

Bad backs+pitchers=DLÂ SOSH seem to not like this trade much. Â I'm sure Kenny doesn't make the trade if he wasn't pretty confident his back was OK.

Steve9347 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Rotoworld's take on the Riske acquisition. They seem to like him a lot. Â If Riske is healthy, he'll be one of the league's better middle relievers, and the White Sox are getting him for a left-hander they clearly had no intention of ever using. It looks like another winner for Ken Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Rotoworld complimenting a Kenny Williams trade? Â Doesn't.... compute... Â BTW -- if this works out in the short term (ie, the next four-and-a-half months), then there's another option for the bullpen next year. He's only 28 years old.

southsideirish Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but he tends to do a lot worse in even numbered years. I don't know if that is a coincidence or not, but his WHIP goes up a lot in even numbered years. In odd numbered years it is under 1. And this being an even number year and all......

You know, I'm not really sure there is, not that could be had for Riske anyway. Think about this first...how many teams would currently consider selling something that could be used at the ML Level? I can count like 5 or 6. Now, how many of those teams have good bullpens? Now, how many of those have good bullpens with good lefties? Now, how many of them have good lefties they'd be willing to part with? Â There just aren't enough Loogy's to go around for most teams right now, and the Sox had roughly 3 lefties.
