flavum Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Mar 10, 2011 -> 05:28 PM) Does anybody else find it insulting that the headline for this topic on MLB.com is:Â "McCann shaken, but relieved Salazar will be OK"? Â Salazar lost his left eye. Very sad. And I feel sorry for McCann too. Obviously not intentional, but he'll live with that.

knightni Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Burnett is your best bet there. Jurrjens & Garland have injury worries this year and Lackey is not the same after his 2009 injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm not taking Burnett in any round. I don't care how many runs his offense scores, dude is bad. I'd prefer Jurrjens a tad bit over Lackey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Metropolitans to release Oliver Perez.

They get him at league min for the year, if he can play at replacement level that's a pretty damn good pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Beckham went down, it would be expected that the Sox would go after a Castillo type target, especially since we have no depth behind Beckham unless you really want Teahen starting there (and I don't even consider Lillibridge an option).

knightni Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I wonder if Perez would accept a minor league deal... Â He's the kind of pitcher that Cooper can work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He's the kind of pitcher that Cooper can work with. He was left handed starter version of Mike MacDougal. Now he throws 85 and still can't throw a strike.

witesoxfan Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I want nothing to do with Oliver Perez. Besides that, if he signs a minor league contract, and goes down to the minor leagues, he doesn't get to work with Cooper. And if he's on the major league roster working with Cooper, well then that's a huge waste of a roster spot. Â I let Oliver Perez do whatever he wants to, but I am not going to sign him to pitch anywhere in my organization unless I am totally deprived of pitching talent AND do not have a good team. There's no need for a good team to try and mess around with Oliver Perez at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to ask if you were crazy. Our pitching depth is thinner than an Olsen twin. Â Yes it is and that's why I threw the caveat in there. But there's no way in hell I'm taking on Oliver Perez right now. He can't help the major league team in his current state, and having him pitch in the minors allows you one fewer young player to throw (not that they'd be any good, just that you need them to throw if you're ever going to find out). He seems like a 2 year project, and that doesn't seem to be economically viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The Mariners are going to end up taking 6 NRI's with the major league club. They all have major league experience and what have you, but that just seems a bit ridiculous to me. Â For those keeping track - Adam Moore, Adam Kennedy, Chris Ray, Jamey Wright, Royce Ring, and Ryan Langerhans. Â This was a team that quite a few people predicted would win their division last year and even more people thought they were turning their team around rather quickly. It's been a year and they seem to be so thin on major league talent that they are taking 6 NRIs north. I don't care who you are, that's bad.
