Chisoxfn Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 It was just last year where Acevedo put up pretty good numbers, but so did White. Either way, a change of scenery should do Juan good, and it could do White good if he gets placed on waivers. I still like Munoz and Ginter in AAA.

Chisoxfn Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I'll take Acevedo, he saved over 20 games last year on the piss ass Tigers. I think there are some players that just can't play for the Yankees. I'm sure its hard when you get jerked around a whole lot. Of course there are also guys that can only play for the Yanks; Check Shane Spencer, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 I do not mind going after Acevedo also.....not sure though if White goes or Glover goes White has retired 11 of his last 12 batters....he might just be finally getting it.....he did very well last year too in the second half of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THis is soley because I have always thought very highly of Glover. When he came up he had a lightining fastball and curve and that heater had incredible movement. Now I see very little movement on it and its nowhere near as hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 acevedo!!!!! HELL NO!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't that moron KW ever learn. Doesn't el cheapo ever wanna dish out some dough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I'm sure El Cheapo would love to spend money on some players (not saying he'd sign the right ones), but his hands are kind of tied. Afterall, he doesn't even have the 50 cent cd after signing Rivera to a waver claim You can never have to much pitch. Acevdo gets things back in gear and he could be a big acquisition. If he struggles he does no worse then White or Glover and you can cut him lose again. Also if he pitches, you have a guy you could move in the future as well if necessary.

JoshPR Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Sorry but Acevedo was an Adventure with the Tigers. Acevedo throws hard. 95 -96 but is straight as the foul pole. Say no to him. Rather Try with Yofu, Munoz Majewski or even Adkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Speaking of Glover, when is the last time that guy has pitched? Am I missing him in the boxscores everyday?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 Speaking of Glover, when is the last time that guy has pitched? Am I missing him in the boxscores everyday?? Right now if we are winning and the bullpen is called upon it is either Marte or Koch or Gordon..... If we are losing even by more than 2 (which means we are done with our offense), Manuel goes with White or Glover Wunsch only comes in for situational lefties Sanders comes in whenever we are losing and the other two (Glover and White) are too tired or have us pitched before Sanders In short, Manuel is so freaking scared of this bullpen, he only goes to 3 guys to win ... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I'll take Acevedo, he saved over 20 games last year on the piss ass Tigers. Why spend more money in an area we dont need to? Rick white was a waste... Avecado will be too... Munoz or Ginter are but a phone call away... and i'll bet 5 to 1 ginter will outpreform those two.

Texsox Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Would you rather have the 1982 Pinto with the rusted trunk or the 1981 Escort with the bald tires? Who cares? This is not what is going to put this team in the playoffs. There are 5 or 6 guys on a club that are virtually meaningless to the team's success. Now that I think of it, they are probably the best thing for KW to work on. Keeps him busy so he doesn't really screw something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Keep in mind that we did try to sign Acevedo during the off season, so I wouldn't be surprised if we put in a call to him to see what it would take to sign him. Personally I think he has the best chance of landing either in St Louis, San Diego, or Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think he has the best chance of landing either in St Louis, San Diego, or Texas. I agree with you, SS. The Pads need him more then anyone with Hoffman, Witasik and Villafuerte still out. However I hate White, I think he is a cancer on the mound and will only get worse (I don't care if he has retired 8 of the last 9 batters), and Acevedo has killed us in the past. Part of the reason the Sox think highly of Acevedo is how he pitched against them last year. He gave up no earned runs in 111/3 innings, allowing 11 hits and two walks. Then again, how he has done against the Twins and other contenders I have no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSOX45 Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I'll take him over Rick White. I'll take Ginter, Munoz or Almonte over Rick White. Than maybe Juan Acevedo. CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 To a minor league contract, maybe. As others have said before....I'd MUCH rather see Ginter, Almonte, or Yofu up here rather then Acevedo or White....hell, I'd take Majewski over both of those guys.
