Guillermo Reyes Demoted to Birmingham By Danny Santaromita and Jason Gage May 4, 2004 FutureSox.com The Charlotte Knights sent shortstop Guillermo Reyes back to the Birmingham Barons to make room for Dan Wright, who was optioned to the minors after making his last start for the White Sox. Wright struggled in the Sox rotation going 0-4 with an 8.15 ERA. The Sox hope Wright can regain the form which helped him win the job this spring. If he can, he will likely rejoin the White Sox when they need a full time 5th starter. Danny made 15 starts for the Knights last season after spending all of 2002 with the White Sox. Reyes joined the Knights on April 20th when Kelly Dransfeldt was promoted to Chicago after Jose Valentin was placed on the disabled list. Reyes hit .083 in four games for the Knights while batting .143 in in fourteen at-bats for the Barons this season . Last season the 22 year-old switch-hitter hit .210 with 34 RBI and 15 stolen bases with the Barons. Impact on the Barons: Red hot Mike Morse has been playing shortstop for the Barons and should remain the starter. Reyes could be featured as a utility man behind Morse and 2nd baseman Ruddy Yan. Reyes played two games at 2nd when Yan was nursing an early season shoulder injury. Impact on the Knights: Danny Wright will force the Knights to go with a six-man rotation. Up until last nights shelling, all of the Knights starters have been spectacular. The six man rotation will be a temporary move as the White Sox will likely be calling up a pitcher from Charlotte to join the rotation. While Wright is in the rotation, Jose Valentin will continue to be the starting shortstop as he finishes up his rehab stint in Charlotte. Valentin should be with the White Sox by the end of the week with Drasnfeldt likely being sent down to Charlotte where he will be the starting shortstop.

Lol Dan...I'll work on combining them.

That was a bulls*** 3-0 strike call on PK. That pitch was well outside.

Yep, won't happen till June 1st, but maybe the Bears feel confident they can sign a deal with him once he's released.

Well, Kelly gets a single. Maybe he can be the start of a rally.

Valentin will be back in Chicago by the end of the week and is currently on a rehab stint in Charlotte. Dransfeldt will likely be back in Charlotte at the end of the week, where he will take over the starting duties once again. Reyes hit .083 in 4 games for the Knigts.

and he's a pansy at the palte when he's got homer on his mind. Which is what he's had since he started the season off with those couple homers.

Ya, I lost count but its either 26 or 27 which is freaking awful.

Frank draws the leadoff walk (dreaded leadoff walk) and the O's are going to the pen and Rodrigo Lopez is coming in.

Ya, and they have to get a freaking clutch hit....do they even know what that is anymore.

and another that shouldn't of scored in the 1st.

f***ing beautiful defense. HOLD THE FREAKING RUNNERS and then 2 runs score on Miggy's 1000th hit of his career. Elo get agressive and go after Raffy.

Roberts steals 2nd on a high throw from Olivo. Juan gets the tag down quickly and Roberts is hurt on the play. He hits Urib'es lefts knee with his head.

51 innings without a miscue never was extended. Forgot about that. Come on Esty...your defense sure as hell isn't helping you out and your offense sure as hell hasn't either tonight. Buckle down and get him.

Dransfeldt makes an error on a soft hit ball and two runs score.

4 pitch walk so runners on 1st and 2nd now. Come on Elo, buckle down and get a DP.

Take that back, they ruled it an infield hit.

Crede pulls Konerko and its an infield single.

Ya, and a damn good changeup which makes his fastball look sneaky. Is it me or is he really starting to look like he's found his groove and as I type this he whiffs Maggs. Just f***ing great.

Kelly whiffs on an outside changeup. Now its up to Magglio. And the Sox are now 2-27 (it may be 26) with runners in scoring position as of late.

FWIW = For What its Worth

Now he's gone on a good straight change. Dransfelt is stepping up.

Another one fouled off and he just got it. He's had some ugly swings, but is staying alive.

Juanita fights off two more pitches.

Juan tries to sacthe first time up and fouls it off. The 2nd time he misses it and now is down 0-2.
