The exact number I was predicting.  $600k over the league minimum is nothing for a guy with a non zero chance of being a useful starter ( @SoxBlanco) who worst case scenario gives us a warm body to hold down the #5 spot until a young arm is ready for their shot.

I think it's been bandied about in a few places that this move doesn't preclude a Canning signing. Fedde could certainly throw reasonable innings while Thorpe/Bush/Adams work their way back and Sandlin/McDougal/Schultz work towards a promotion. Canning might be on that same timetable.

Great signing. Heard this guy was crushing in Japan. Smart move to take a chance on him.

Ha! Thanks for the mention. Nobody responded to my question about that phrase, so I’m going to assume it’s just a trendy phrase that caught on, similar to “I didn’t have that on my bingo card.”

There’s a non zero chance I’ll use it at some point.

I think Katz might be able to turn him around.

I don’t know how we juggle both on the 26 man roster though.  There just isn’t any room for another major league deal for the pitching staff outside of theoretically another LH reliever.  Feels like this was an either/or thing with Fedde or Canning.

I would have responded to your question, but honestly don’t know the answer.  I just happen to use it quite a bit.

Fedde, Hicks, Dominguez. Sounds like a 4-2 win, to me.

Oh sweet baby Jesus play pitch good enough for 2-3 months to be able to trade for something.

Guess that depends on how Paez and Alberto look so can carry a lot of guys in ST and if those Rule 5 guys just dont make a great impression they both might be returned. Even if Paez is already in the Sox Top 15 prospects its extremely difficult to make the jump from A+ for either of those guys.
