January 28, 200521 yr Wow, I gotta say I am surprised. He went from 5th starter to possibly AAA and off of the 40 man roster. I wonder if anyone will claim him?
January 28, 200521 yr My guess is they're hoping he clears and then they'll bring him to camp as a non roster invitee. They like this guy, they think now that he's completely over the arm injury he'll contribute.
January 28, 200521 yr Yeah, not too long ago Ozzie mentioned him possibly being the 5th starter. How long til stories about his 'bad attitude', or 'poor work ethic' come out? QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 08:43 PM) He Gawn...designated for assignment.
January 28, 200521 yr (pats self on back) I called this almost immediately after the Iguchi signing, when everyone thought it was going to be Harris traded. They don't like Harris, but they aren't(or shouldn't) trade him until they know for certain the Iguchi can hang around and play well. EDIT: shouldn't say everyone...but people were speculating that.

January 28, 200521 yr Harris might still get the pole, that pat might be premature.

January 28, 200521 yr QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) Harris might still get the pole, that pat might be premature. There are many things that can happen during spring training. Lots of scouts, many playing days. Harris will probably make it to spring training and the Sox will be very happy to put him in many games, but I do not think he is long for the team.
January 28, 200521 yr He's probably the smart move. However, I wouldn't be mad to see him back in the organization.
January 28, 200521 yr "White Sox designate pitcher Jason Grilli for assignment" http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...r_cws&fext=.jsp
January 28, 200521 yr That's surprsing. And with Harris, they shoulda never traded Singleton to get him.
January 28, 200521 yr If that avatar picture is your baby, he scares me.

January 28, 200521 yr QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) If that avatar picture is your baby, he scares me. Not quite my kid, being 17 and single and all that good stuff. Also...I don't doubt Harris will be moved. But they have to have some insurance in case Iguchi cant hang...which is why Harris will stick around for now. I could see a scenario where he is traded in ST, much like the Timo trade last year.
January 28, 200521 yr Why keep Grili on the 40 man? He had no chance to make the 25 man. There was no way Harris was going to be dropped from the 40 man. Despite what many of you might think Harris is too valuable a talent to simply give away. So they need at least ST to evaluate whether Iggy is a boom or a bust or something in between.

January 29, 200521 yr It's about time. Lets face facts here. Diaz out pitched him in AAA. Diaz had better starts at the major league level. He is nothing but AAA roster fodder. At least Diaz has potential as a solid pen arm. I would be really shocked if anyone claimed him.
January 29, 200521 yr grilli was a good prospect once but had surgery, maybe after another year his arm will get better. Although it didnt look like it Grilli had probably a bigger upside than diaz although what we saw certaintly wasnt better than diaz.

Although it didnt look like it Grilli had probably a bigger upside than diaz although what we saw certaintly wasnt better than diaz. I think Diaz was better than Grilli. Just because Grilli probably had more wins doesnt mean anything. Atleast Diaz got us a win when we needed it in the scrub series and some solid relief, but the only reason Grilli won was because of the offensive outbursts we had when he was on the mound.
January 29, 200521 yr i said grilli had a higher upside but maybe after that surgery he just doesnt have it who knows. All i know is i didnt enjoy watching him so now only got to get rid of Borchard
