May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:35 PM) Well, I'm dissapointed, I think it would have been great to have that type of ace, but sounds like the Sox went as far as they were comfortable with JPINAA
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 21, 2009 -> 04:35 PM) What a P***y. Now what? Now back to your regularly-scheduled rebuild.
May 21, 200916 yr Let's try not to overreact. We still have a lot of payroll flexibility this makes it seem, as well as all of our pitching prospects still.
May 21, 200916 yr white sox say no windfall for peavy. chisox wont pick up $22-mil option for '13 to entice him. trade is still up to him heyman
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 21, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Did they say ultimately why he rejected it He is a giant p**** who is scared of pitching outside of San Diego and the NL.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:37 PM) He is a giant p**** who is scared of pitching outside of San Diego and the NL. If he ends up with the Cubs later this year, I will never root harder to see the initials TJS.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) Now back to your regularly-scheduled rebuild. what a day...took up 7 hours 45 minutes of no productivity....perfect
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) Cowley on the score: Peavy is rejecting the deal f*** you Jake Peavy. f*** you, you piece of s***.
May 21, 200916 yr Its always about money, and the sox will always never spend. This could be the most embarrasing day in white sox history. 20-1 and a superstar laughs at our trade attempt.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 21, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) He is a giant p**** who is scared of pitching outside of San Diego and the NL. I think the same thing. He might be afraid of the DH rule in the American League.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 21, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) He is a giant p**** who is scared of pitching outside of San Diego and the NL. I don't blame him. Leaving both that park and that league would expose the fact that he is not a true ace compared to the rest of MLB's aces.
May 21, 200916 yr if its because the sox didnt want to give him that option, that is just embarassing....

Yeah, this is not a good day for the organization. However, that 22 million dollar option is just ridiculous. By that time, Peavy's going to have a ton of milleage on that slider throwing elbow.

May 21, 200916 yr So we wouldnt pick up that option? What team would? The Cubs new ownership sure as s*** wont, nor do they have the pieces, the Brewers dont have the money, either does Atl. Where the f*** do you think you are going Mr Peavy

This could be the most embarrasing day in white sox history. 20-1 and a superstar laughs at our trade attempt. To be fair, the Sox have always been cheap when it comes to pitching and not wanting to overspend on huge long-term to deals. And the Sox have usually been right in their dealings with pitching.
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ May 21, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) if its because the sox didnt want to give him that option, that is just embarassing.... No, it really isn't. Would you want possibly 25% of your payroll tied up in one player? Around that time, Danks and Quentin would be getting big change also if their careers go as we hope.

The Cubs new ownership sure as s*** wont, nor do they have the pieces, the Brewers dont have the money, either does Atl. Where the f*** do you think you are going Mr Peavy I honestly believe Peavy believes the Braves or Cubs will trade for him. He will continue to be a coward until he can go to those teams. At least this saves someone from calling him the White Javy.

And the Sox have usually been right in their dealings with pitching. Someone posted on here a while ago the history of major long term pitching contracts and how they worked out. Historically it really shows that it is not worth it. Good call KW.
