look, i'm tired of all this aj burnett as being the best pitcher out there and konkero being the best hitter out there...there are plenty more LOW PRICE-HIGH UPSIDE guys that wouldn't cost a whole lot of money...with the money we save, we could sign more players and resign certain ones..here are some of them and if you disagree with me just post why:
pitchers:
john lackey: 12-5, 3.30 ERA, 180Ks, making 440k this year
esteban loazia: 11-10, 3.79 ERA, making 2.9 million this year
matt morris: 14-8, 4.10 ERA, making 2.5 million this year
bullpen guys
bob wickman(personal favorite): 2.73 ERA, 41 saves, making 2.7 million this year
kyle farnsworth: 2.03 ERA, 13 saves, making 1.9 million this year
al reyes: 2.38 ERA, 3-2, 3 save, making 440k this year
julian tavarez: 3.15 ERA, 2-3, 4 saves, making 2.6 million this year
batters:
dmitri young: .270 BA, 21 HRs, 70 RBIs, making 8 million
these are the guys i like to sign, and there's only one sort of pricey guy..most of these guy's "big bucks" are 3-6 million..much better than 1 guy thats 10 million
these are some players i would like to get in a trade..maybe one of good prospects or someone on the roster for next year;
adam harang: Reds, 3.54 ERA, can throw high 90s, making 440K, 27 years old- good pitching prospect
chad tracey: D-backs(with troy glaus and tony clark getting 1B and 3B, i'm sure he'll want some more playing time) .292 BA...1B/3B/OF...21 HRs...54 RBIs, making 335K, 25 years old- good hitting prospect
come on fellow sox fans..see the light and save some money :thumbsup:
