bardsroom attendant Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Radio pregame reporting that Alex had to leave to go back to PR for a few days due to his grandfather having suffered a stroke. Andy Gonzalez is up for a few days while Cintron tends to family business. Reports are that Alex's grandfather basically raised him so he's closer than the standard grandfather/grandson relationship. Best to #8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines Cintron leaves Sox to be with ailing grandfather By Mark Gonzales Tribune staff reporter April 22, 2007, 11:03 AM CDT DETROIT -- White Sox infielder Alex Cintron was placed on the bereavement list Sunday, and infielder Andy Gonzalez was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. Cintron left this morning to fly to his native Puerto Rico to attend to his grandfather, who suffered a stroke. This is Gonzalez's first promotion to the majors. He was batting a team-leading .333 with two home runs and a .400 on-base percentage. Interesting that they have a link there "Lower your blood pressure".

Heads22 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Good luck and prayers. Hopefully all will be well with Alex and his grandfather, and maybe Andy (Angel) can help us a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Valido. We have quite a few not very good players on our roster right now. Does Gonzalez have a chance to ever actually make the bigs? It must be great to get called up the majors for a game or two in an emergency like this. You get bumped up to a ML salary, right?

BearSox Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Sad news about Cintron and his grandfather. But, the good news is now, we have 2 scrubs on our roster who would not be on any other team in the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Valdez is on the Dodgers, and Tony Pena Jr. is on the Royals roster, and that's just off the top of my head. So yeah, these guys would be on other rosters.

The highest his OPS ever was in the minors was .671. He may be good defensively, but he's a horrible hitter. and he's hitting .197 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
