August 30, 200421 yr 4 months after he should of been the white sox release Mike Jackson. Felix Diaz is called up to take his place. How do you say "too little, too late" in Irish?
August 30, 200421 yr Hard to believe they would release him now that there are september call-ups. It would open up an extra spot on the 40 man though, allowing one more call-up.
August 30, 200421 yr It would open up an extra spot on the 40 man though, allowing one more call-up. It's not like we are gonna bring up 15 players. I just don't see the point.
August 30, 200421 yr It's not like we are gonna bring up 15 players. I just don't see the point. Neal Cotts is happy.
August 30, 200421 yr the sox sacraficed having a better relief pitcher than jackson on the roster so he could get his 1,000 appearance or some s*** like that. nice priorities.
August 30, 200421 yr Didn't he just break a ML record for appearances? Give him his record, then give him his walking papers. He probably would have been released sooner if not for this
August 30, 200421 yr It's not like we are gonna bring up 15 players. I just don't see the point. This season is gonna be a wash, so I think its best that young players get experience for the future. Jackson may bhave been able to be a mentor, but his pitching was pretty bad for the most part.
August 30, 200421 yr he should have never been on the team to begin with...if he wanted to come back this year and try for the 1000 appearances he should have went to a team that didn't have play off aspirations at the beginning of the year....Sorry old pitcher came to the sox and fill a bullpen spot that could have been better if no one was in it. Definitely need to find a starter and a bullpen stud for next year.
August 30, 200421 yr 4 months after he should of been the white sox release Mike Jackson. Felix Diaz is called up to take his place. in related news, carl everett has changed his stance on the existence of dinosaurs after playing with mike jackson.
August 30, 200421 yr This season is gonna be a wash, so I think its best that young players get experience for the future. Jackson may bhave been able to be a mentor, but his pitching was pretty bad for the most part. I agree, but they are not gonna bring up 15 other players. That was my point.
August 30, 200421 yr it's on chicagosports.com. and it's about damn time. release a few more of them.
August 30, 200421 yr Somewhere Kelly Wunsch joyfully weeps. kelly wunch is not going to be called up hes done with the sox. people should understand this. even if scott merkin of whitesox.com writes that kelly wunsch could be called up hes not. diaz is taking jacksons place in the bullpen when freddy comes back.
August 30, 200421 yr kelly wunch is not going to be called up hes done with the sox. . Well no kidding. Kenny Williams is protecting himself - can you imagine Wunsch coming up and throwing 8-10 scoreless innings in September? Knowing how much damage Cotts, Politte and Jackson inflicted on this ballclub in the last 2 months, the last thing Kenny needs is to be given grief over a dominant lefty specialist rotting in AAA due to petty politics. And before yaps start to fly open about Wunsch's velocity for the Nth time, since when Wunsch was about velocity in the first place? He was unhittable at times last year throwing 86-87 mph junk. Durability? Gee, who do I want up facing a tough lefty or two in a crucial situation, Kelly "Fragile" Wunsch or Politte/Cotts/Jackson (a combined 930 OPS-Against versus lefties in case anyone was wondering) trio? But hey, all those 1-run losses to inferior teams and BP meltdowns in July and August....No, I can't see how Wunsch could have possibly helped as an extra BP arm at all.
