June 4, 200718 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 12:08 AM) I'm talking in terms of the White Sox, if he's playing for the Sox next year it's for no more than $3.5M a year. Gotcha.
June 4, 200718 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 12:08 AM) He was pretty damn good up until his injury. And with the rate of pitching, he'll get his money. Marquis got 7 million for a 6.02 era. Except you're talking about the White Sox here, not the Cubs. KW will not overpay for mediocre starting pitching. Oh, and I'd like to congratulate Lopez on being just terrific in his first 4 starts in this National League. And I'm sure all his elbow issues will simply disappear as the season goes on.

You don't like Rodrigo Lopez. We get it. These are just hypothetical that we're throwing out here. I'm sure I could come up with something more detailed and closer to realistic ideals with payroll and such if I really looked into it. Edited June 4, 200718 yr by SoxFan1

June 4, 200718 yr Heres what Im thinking: C AJ Pierzynski 1B Paul Konerko 2B Eckstein 3B Joe Crede SS Juan Uribe OF Josh Fields - Feel he might be given a chance, if not him Owens assumin he stays consistent thus far OF Ichiro Suzuki OF Jermaine Dye DH Jim Thome BN Toby Hall BN Andy G BN Cintron BN Mack BN Owens SP Mark Buehrle SP Jason Jennings SP Jon Garland SP Javy Vazquez SP John Danks Bullpen: Jenks, Day, Lieber, Aardsma, Masset, Logan Crede does have an optinon for 08 I believe, I really think he stays next year, I dont see a trade for Figgins since Angels look to be set in the future at 3B with guys like Mcpherson/Wood/Aybar/Figgins. Figgins probably will be gone not to the Sox. Eckstein just fits our style of play, grindy. Been mentioned quite a bit in this thread and its grown on me that he could come. Id love to see Ichiro, he is in his last year. Would look good in a Sox uni leading off. Erstad obviously leaves, Ichiro or no Ichiro, hes gonna need to earn a spot next year, which Im sure alot of our OFs are gonna be given a fair chance for a spot on the team and he will leave due to the vast competition. Jennings would be a cheap replacement and has proven he can throw in a hitters park, solid option. Lieber would be spot starter for a sudden injury, his agent has good relationship with KW and its about time he comes back to chicago. Edited June 4, 200718 yr by ChWRoCk2

Where are we getting the idea that any starting pitching would be "cheap" in any way, shape or form, let alone a pitcher close to his prime and possibly improving, in contrast to a Zito or Schmidt? Eckstein will be past his prime (if he's not already) by the time we are close to competitiveness.
