KW makes all his moves on Wednesday.

How much longer in the minors for hermy?

 

The reports in today's Tribune about Hermanson weren't optimistic at all.

Jim Abbott could pitch better than Politte, right handed.

Mean or not that made me lol

Hell no, that's funny. Maybe Abbott could be our new left fielder. He's better defensively than what we have out there, and he could take 3 pitches and sit down easily also.

My prediction: Roberto Hernandez will be on the White Sox by Tuesday in a deal including Sean Tracey.

 

Roberto Hernandez = a lot of baserunners, which I guess is better than Cliff Politte = a lof of baserunners and a lot of runs.

Tiger pitchers throw 95-100 miles per hour. If they miss there spots they still get people out. Our "crafty" pitchers miss there spots and its lights out.

That's exactly right. I remember Hawk talking a couple years ago about all the guys the Sox had in their organization that threw 95 and up. What happened?

Roberto Hernandez = friends with Ozzie Guillen = very likely to end up with White Sox.

Jason Johnson.

 

Remember how people said that guys career record wasn't that big of a deal because he played for the O's and D'Rays, and how he's an upgrade over Scott Elarton?

 

That would be stupid. Why trade someone with the upside of a Tracey for a has been like Henandez? Tracey could probably do everything Roberto could at this point, so why take on the salary?

Maybe we can keep getting Angels cast-offs, as they have no problem developing power pitchers.

Because Ozzie hates Tracey.

isnt it funny that even a 7 run inning wouldnt put us ahead?

Jenks and Turnbow. If they had kept those guys, the Angels may have had one of the best bullpens in history.

hilaaaaarious

We've been saying that for like the past 6 outings.

 

 

i know and two years ago ozzie would just cut him and move on. Now he feels like he owes them something. He is breaking his own rules. I think it will take one more outing for cliff to be gone.

Its time right now for KW to tell Politte if he wants to continue pitching he can go to Charlotte or he can be released and pitch for another organization's AAA affiliate. I knew Politte would suck in March. If they still think he has a chance to be helpful other than pitching batting practice, they are out of their minds.

As much as I admire this organization for winning a WC, I often cringe at the way that they do business sometimes. For instance, for years, KW has had this thing for Javier Vasquez and was bound and determined to get him. Well they got him all right. And now they see why he has been such a dissapointment for other teams.

 

Yes, you are correct, they hate Tracey and will likely dump him for nothing in return, while as we speak, the current starting rotation rots on the vine. Like Jon Rauch, Tracey made a mistake. Why not give him a second chance?

I was just about to type something nasty about jd, which means i'm delusional. therefore, i'm gone.

Sox need game Sunday for sure!

In the meantime we need to stop drafting crafty guys who top off at 92.

 

Yeah, it would've been a damn shame if we'd have had Maddux and Glavine, "crafty" guys who don't throw that hard, on our staff back in the '90s. :rolly

Joel Peralta also looked pretty good against us last year. He was claimed by the Royals in the offseason.

 

I think Proctor was almost traded to the White Sox for Scott Schoenweis back in July of 2004, but Scott went on the DL.

I agree with everything you say but I really can't get all that worked up about Politte. He's the mop up guy in the bullpen. We're not losing these games to the Yanks/Red Sox by relying on Politte. This game was over when our All-Star starting pitcher gave up 8 runs through 3 innings. Trying to figure out what to do with our starting staff should be KW's first priority.

You're right, its not his fault they are getting killed today. The problem is he is taking up a valuable roster spot, a spot that could be used for someone who actually could get someone out once in a while. If KW isn't going to be able to upgrade the rotation, strengthening the bullpen is the next best thing. There will be a time where Politte's roster spot will be very important.

As long as you can guarantee that those guys in your sig can be significantly more productive in the AL than what we would give up, I'm all for it...

Crobsy is a f***ing Sox killer. I remember him doing that s*** to us back in April of 2004

A nice perk for season ticketholders may be to invite them to take a couple of cuts off Politte.
