Chisoxfn Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Jon Rauch Optioned to Charlotte; Dransfeldt Recalled By Jason Gage May 30, 2004 FutureSox.com As previously noted in an earlier FutureSox report, Jon Rauch was optioned back to Charlotte following his start on Saturday. The problem was Rauch left the team and was driving back to meet up with his family before the game was over. This upset both some of the players and Ken Williams who has made it well known that the Sox won't tolerate Rauch's actions nor does he ever expect him to pitch for the White Sox again. Today the White Sox recalled Kelly Dransfeldt from Charlotte. Dransfeldt has played in 7 games for the White Sox and is hitting .333. He had a game winning pinch hit single earlier in the year for the White Sox. With the Knights Dransfeldt was hitting .290 with 2 HR and 11 RBI. He is capable of playing any of the infield positions. Dransfeldt will likely be optioned back to Chicago the next time the Sox need a 5th starter, which is scheduled to be June 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redandwhite Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 rotoworld: Neither Stewart nor Jason Grilli have pitched very well for Charlotte, so the White Sox could bypass both and reach down to Double-A for Arnaldo Munoz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 i hate this move. They had Rauch skip a start before this ONE start in Chicago. He pitched alright for 3 innings before falling apart. He had pitched well in AAA this year and i really wish they would have given him one more start, but i think i'm in the minority here *Edit* i just read that part about him leavng early. Forget what i said earlier. So, does this mean he's getting traded? We might be able to get someone decent for him alone or as part of a package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I can't see getting much for him, no team is willing to give up somebody worth mentioning for an arm troubled, major league unproven, head cased started... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Head case, can only pitch an inning or two Sounds like a recipe for a closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
