JenksForPrez45 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I was at a family party when one of my family members who lives next door to Myers' aunt told me that Mike has reached a deal with the Sox. No details were given but they said they were keepin it quiet. This is what I heard so take it as you wish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29andPoplar Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Would not be a surprise for several reasons. 1. Myers has always been on Williams' radar, for several years now. 2. He is from the suburban area and still maintains a home here as far as I know. 3. Not a bad idea to see if this guy has anything left in the tank. He's been awful against lefties this year but over the years he's been pretty good at his role. 4. If they think he's got something left and can sign him for '08 it gives them more flexibility.

southsider2k5 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 It makes sense as a free extended audition for 2008, if it is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 This team already has a LOOGY and he unlike Myers has been getting lefties out this season plus he's like 13 years younger and doesn't have a silly name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I don't want him on the team....he'd have no purpose and Ozzie would just use him incorrectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Awesome. Let's just take more appearances away from Logan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 A 38 year old LOOGY who can't get out left hand hitters anymore who evidently no contending teams wanted for league minimum. This really is a ridiculous signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Let me be the first to say, low risk-high reward. Not because I feel that way, I'm just sick of that damn phrase on this board.

santo=dorf Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) It should be noted that there is an option for next year. I was wondering why Rotoworld was calling it a one year deal. Edited August 20, 2007 by santo=dorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really is a ridiculous signing. It's moments like this where I just have to wonder, would it REALLY be that difficult to take this amount and place it towards players in the amateur draft who may be seeking an overslot bonus of a hundred thousand or so?

You know damn well Guillen will prefer the veteran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even a lower round pick or 2 that would sign for an extra $30k and could turn into something. With all the teams looking for relief help, a team in last place with no playoff chance signs this guy. I wonder if this means Thornton is out of here either now or this offseason. I would much prefer Thornton to Myers. This signing makes less sense than the Jeff Nelson signing last year.

29andPoplar Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I presume it's a team option for 2008 and if so this is not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) I saw at the end of the story on Chisox.com that Myers had a 2.66 ERA in 55 games with the Yanks? He was then released?! I don't follow other teams much and muck like Ozzie I don't look at stats a lot either, but that is a pretty good record for someone getting canned by the Yankmees. Is this a true stat?
