May 2, 200422 yr Was reported on the postgame and read on another board that Wright was sent down and Burke was called up. Don't know how solid this info is but god I hope it is true.
May 2, 200422 yr Listening to Sox postgame show on ESPN 1000, and Dave Wills just said Wright was sent down & Burke was called up. I can see Wright going down, but Burke? Melton just said that Wunsch must not be 100%. He also said Reed wouldn't be recalled unless he would be playing everyday.
May 2, 200422 yr Author Don't ask me. I just saw it somewhere else and they said that Ozzie said it at the beginning of his press conference.
May 2, 200422 yr That makes zero sense whatsoever. Send down a pitcher and call up a catcher? We already had 12 pitchers on the roster. I wonder what's going through Kelly's mind.
May 2, 200422 yr Yeah I know. Why would a catcher be called up for Wright. If anything Diaz, Rauch, or another Knights pitcher got called up. There is no way Burke replaced Wright.
May 2, 200422 yr Why not Diaz? Calling up another catcher makes no sense unless Sandy is hurt, but he played today so I doubt that.
May 2, 200422 yr Why not Diaz? Or Rauch? If Ozzie and KW don't want to move Cotts into the rotation yet, okay. But either Rauch or Diaz would be nice.
May 2, 200422 yr YES!! If it's true I'm glad. Yea if they would have called up someone, it should be Diaz or Wunsch. Kelly could return to the pen and put Cotts in the rotation. That would make more sense.
May 2, 200422 yr Like I said in the other thread, They should have called up Diaz or Wunsch (if he's 100%) and put Cotts in the rotation. That would make more sense. So I'm guessing were carring 3 catchers and putting Cotts in the rotation anywayz...
May 2, 200422 yr Seriously, im confused right now It's clear Wunsch is on someone's bad side. I guess we'll have to wait till tomorrow to get more answers.
May 2, 200422 yr Seriously, im confused right now my only thought is that they wont need the 5th starter until friday or maybe even miss that start(off day thursday) so they want to get an extra bat on the team for these upcoming games, then theyll send burke down and bring up a starter
May 2, 200422 yr If they want to use Cotts in the rotation, then there is no point in waisting a young guy's options. Calling Wunsch up would make sense unless he is hurting.
May 2, 200422 yr my only thought is that they wont need the 5th starter until friday or maybe even miss that start(off day thursday) so they want to get an extra bat on the team for these upcoming games, then theyll send burke down and bring up a starter that is most likely it, which makes sense ... why bring in a fifth starter who won't be pitching for a good five days.
May 2, 200422 yr It all makes sense......Burke is going to be out fifth starter. Well, I think it is clearly Cotts now, Adkins is only other I could see too.
May 2, 200422 yr I think you people are missing the big picture here. Danny Wright is gone! (I hope) I don't care who we bring up as long as Danny is gone!
May 2, 200422 yr that is most likely it, which makes sense ... why bring in a fifth starter who won't be pitching for a good five days. If/when we do bring up a fifth starter, I would like to see Grilli or Rauch.
May 2, 200422 yr If/when we do bring up a fifth starter, I would like to see Grilli or Rauch. :puke Diaz or Cotts for me. I love the upside of those two.
May 2, 200422 yr If/when we do bring up a fifth starter, I would like to see Grilli or Rauch. i gotta go with diaz
