Clayton Richard Optioned to Charlotte

I'll link the press release when it's available. The Sox will make a corresponding roster move before Tuesday's game. Though I'm not 100% sure that move will be Jose Contreras. I have a feeling DeWayne Wise will be moved to clear a spot for Jose later this week, and tomorrow's move will be for a reliever.

Aaron Poreda?

I believe Cowley was expecting Logan to be sent down for someone and then Richard would be sent down for Contreras.

Well that sucked.

I didn’t watch any of Richard’s starts that carefully other than the first, when I thought he pitched well but was a victim of a tough opponent, park and bad defense.

God damn, please not another year where the Sox are doomed because they can’t find a halfway fucking decent 5th starter.

This is a 6th starter, not a 5th

Big difference,Contreras will be back as the 5th starter . . . with a 4.60 ERA and the given peripherals at this point in the season . . . most of you would have crapped yourselves before the season started if you knew that would happen.

He does refer to "you" in the global sense, indicating

a lack of belonging to the group. Thus, as a dispassionate observer, he’s free to post, like a Royals/Twins/Scrubs fan, a passing anomaly.

Good point . . .

though I don’t think I would have crapped myself . . . possibly just urinated down my leg, so maybe that is why I used the ‘you’.

Here's the Yahoo! Sports link...

“White Sox option Richard”

CHICAGO (AP)—The Chicago White Sox optioned left-hander Clayton Richard to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Richard gave up 11 hits and nine runs—six earned—in 4 1-3 innings Sunday against Kansas City. In three starts since being called up last month, Richard was 0-2 with a 10.38 ERA while giving up 25 hits in 13 innings.

The White Sox will make a corresponding roster move before beginning a three-game series against Detroit on Tuesday.

i can't really think of anything to write atm

the one thing i wanted to have done for today was pushed back due to statistical complications. i haven’t actually seen the sox play in a little while now and i gave my griffey opinion. there’s a minor league rundown, but aside from brandon allen and aaron poreda continuing to have success, there’s really not much. kent gerst has broken out but has K rate issues. shelby appears constitutionally opposed to taking walks and apparently can’t play up the middle anywhere. jose martinez still doesn’t have much power. besides jim covered all this in a recent post. so…yeah. ideas: i need some.

And I agree with Cheat about Wise heading back to Charlotte...

He has already cleared waivers once so they can freely send him back to AAA. And if the Sox are going to start a Griffey in CF and still have Anderson on the bench, they have no need for Wise right now.

I thought that once a player clears waivers...

they don’t have to clear them again for the rest of the season if they are sent down to the minors?

I have posted

elsewhere, but the Sox actually have some reliever options . . . Derek Rodriguez or Jason Childers should be next in line for a look. With Rodriguez pitching another 3+ solid innings tonight, I think you might see the old man Childers.

by jc2313 on Aug 4, 2008 9:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

link

Among the candidates at Charlotte for a promotion are Jason Childers, who has a 1.07 ERA in 42 appearances, and Adam Russell, who has a 2.89 ERA in 25 games and had a 5.59 ERA in nine games with the Sox.
That would give the Sox an extra reliever through at least Friday, as Jose Contreras could be activated to start Saturday against Boston.
