Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

White Sox Off Day Rosterbation

All indications are that Carlos Torres will be making a guest appearance this week in a spot start, likely the nightcap on Tuesday.  Obviously, this will necessitate a roster move and there isn't exactly a clear choice right now for demotion or release.  Dayan Viciedo and Brent Lillibridge are both hitting well.  Erick Threets not only throws with his left hand but also has been decidedly non-Randy Williams.  The other candidates have been on the roster for essentially the entire season and are either playing well or have pictures of Kenny Williams banging somebody's girlfriend, thus rendering them immune.

So this puts the White Sox in a tough spot.  Mark Teahen is rehabbing in Charlotte and is likely to be ready later this week, so one of Viciedo or Lillibridge was likely to be gone soon anyway.  Will it be one of those?  Threets is considered the last man of the bullpen and there's this fellow of the same arm persuasion who has been mowing down hitters in AAA.  Will this rotation crunch force the ascension of 2010 first round pick Chris Sale?  Is this the end of Mandruw Kojones? Someone else? Keep in mind that, barring an injury on the major league club, a player cannot be recalled for ten days after being optioned.

i think they will send down viciedo

even though I would prefer threets, or fuck that, KOTSAY..as you mentioned in your retro minor league updates, viciedo has been a bright spot, but needs to learn how to take a walk and hit righties and hopefully he will work on that in AAA

they’ll probably send down lillibridge when teahen comes up and our recent days of offensive productivity from the 3B position will come to an end

This is like having Marshall Faulk on your fantasy football team in 2000 and screwing up the rest of your draft to finish 7th.

by onlysoxfaninbasel on Aug 2, 2010 7:16 AM CDT reply actions  

I also think that

They want him to get more AB, and he can do that in Charlotte so he’s ready for next season and September.

I think Kotsay and Jones need to be put on waivers. See if anyone is dumb enought to claim. Teahen too.

Problem is not very likely

chiburb, im with you on this one…lillibridge is to hot to send down right now, i see a hammy or pulled groin injury buying some time to iron everything out.

It should be noted that Jaime Kotsay is physically attractive

Kotsay should be the odd man out. Jones, at least, has a good glove and can hit the ball out of the park every now and then. But Kotsay is too professional, too much of a veteran, too beardy to get the heave ho.

I agree with mikecws91 that it cant be a pitcher.
Therefore, it probably should be Kotsay and he got my vote.
But hes left handed(and beardy).

Lillibridge and Viciedo are raking, its will be a shame to see one of them go down when they could be getting more ABs with the right thing done here.

Next poll:
Which Sox player sucks the most?
Linebrink
Kotsay

teahen could be ready on wednesday, but he hasn’t played the field yet for charlotte, which says to me they’ve got him on a bit longer timeframe. threets going to charlotte kicks the position player dilemma further down the road.

Fri: BHB
Sat: Give Tony Pena the start he’s been asking for in Baltimore.

Not a follower of the sport, so a question for hockey/Blackhawks fans:

Is this roster destruction (Nieme isn’t worth $2.75M?) normal following a championship season?

As a non-fan, it seems like the Florida Marlins post-World Series (1997). From Wiki:

“Following the World Series victory, Huizenga dismantled the team, claiming financial losses despite winning the World Series. He traded most of the club’s best players in one of the biggest fire sales in sports history; one so infamous, it has come to epitomize the term “fire sale” in the baseball world. "

This is why I ask…

The problem with the Blackhawks is the best part about them last year.

Everyone helped. We had our regular stars here and there, but in the playoffs, good plays came from everyone. Basically everyone was deserving of more money, and there’s not much they could do about it. It’s not a fire sale, as they still have most of their top tier talent, but yes, it hurts. Nothing you can do. As far as Niemi…eh. He’s good, but is he worth sinking a large amount of money near the salary cap into? It’s a tough call.

Yes,

salary cap drives the move; no salary cap in baseball, so the Marlins example doesn’t compare. As ScottyPods 2.0 says, the Hawks are in a tough position because of the depth of the team.

Indeed.. if it was the Marlins situation

They wouldn’t just pay 5 million to Huet to sit in the minors. They’re obviously willing to spend money, they just aren’t allowed to.

Sorry to hear that, OLD.

Hopefully she is at peace.

Its sort of a chess match right now but some upgrades are still possible with very little cost except money.

The usual.

Sox mostly winning, bitching about Teabag and Kojones, WTGTD arguing with people, larry being blunt and sarcastic, and we still have a DH problem.

Time to call in the Q!avalry.

thanks for including a sox and a sss update.

Heres my plan, plz forward to ozzie:

Kotsay = DFA, Dayan = DH, Bridge = PH, Nuff Said.

by SSHitman on Aug 2, 2010 12:00 PM CDT reply actions   1 recs

why not?

He only makes 1.5 mil, half is paid. Teahen is a lefty. Teahan plays first. Jones plays better OF. Why would the Sox never DFA Kotsay?

I suggest a new poll:

How does our shitty DH situation appear going forward?

1) Black and foul smelling
2) Red and watery
3) Hard and round shaped
4) Massive and floaty
5) Same color and consistency
6) Jerry Owens
