Gene Honda Civic Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I just saw on a blog that the Cubs have already announced who they are sending to the AFL. I can't find any info on Sox players who are going. Any guesses? I'd say Rogo Owens Young Tracey Haeger Haigwood Fields Liotta Gio are the possibilities. I suppose you could send Anderson, Bajenaru, Munoz, and Diaz again. Jenks would be eligible too. They can only send 6, and only one from below AA.

Chisoxfn Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I know Corwin Malone is going to be there and I'm trying to think of a few other names I heard but I can't think of it this second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I think they'll send Gio, Young, Malone, Rogo, Sweeney, and Fields. That list is probably way off, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogie Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 VALIDO IS ONE OF THE PLAYERS PARTICIPATING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 The Sox were waiting for permission from MLB to send Double-A left-hander Paulino Reynoso to the Arizona Fall League. Reynoso, who is 4-3 with a 3.69 ERA in 50 games for Double-A Birmingham, requires permission to play in the AFL because he is a native of the Dominican Republic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I think the plan is to replace Sweeney with Young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randar68 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) I had heard that Young was going to play. The names I have heard at various times are: Tracey Honel Sweeney (appears to be Young in place now) Valido Rogo Reynoso Malone I'm pretty sure Valido, Tracey, Reynoso (if he gets permission) and Rogo are all but sure-things as of today. How the rest shakes out, I have no idea. Edited August 24, 2005 by Randar68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that and the fact that they usually send 6 guys, I suppose we could just guess 3 pitchers and 3 position players, I would say here is your likely list: Tracey Young Valido Rogo Reynoso Malone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least partially.......... not sure the consistency is there, but both are working their way back. Better than I thought they would, I might add.

Gene Honda Civic Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/2005afl/roster_ps.html According to this it's Fields Sweeney Valido Tracey Two more spots TBA -- I assume one is Reynoso. BHAM, can you chime in on Sweeney's status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's been decided yet if Sweeney will need to have surgery on the hand/wrist. These rosters always change up until the last minute, so these are just preliminary lists that have been submitted. Heck, maybe Kenny's thinking of bringing Chris up in a week?

OilCan Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 For anybody: Can someone from the A-level go to the AZL? I just thought maybe something like this would benefit a player like Wes Whisler; someone with untapped potential that could benefit from extra education, and have him develop for next year. Thanks.........and I apologize for bashing Wes earlier this year, deserved or undeserved.... Wes, if you're ever reading this sight, I forgot my self-imposed #1 rule for being a White Sox fan - They are still part of the Pale Hose, so give them love and support, no matter what. I'm glad you're part of the organization Wes. Shiner Bock to ya! -Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valido is on the squad coming from Winston-Salem. The end of the season is not the end of the season, so to speak, for guys at the lower levels. A lot of them go to Instructional Leagues that offer the most one-on-one time with coaches... That being said, Wes needs to have the light go on for the mental aspect of pitching as much as anything else (repeating his mechanics wouldn't hurt either)...

CSF Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 From Chicagosports.com: Extra innings The Sox's participants in the Arizona Fall League will play for the Peoria Saguaros. Outfielder Ryan Sweeney, third baseman Josh Fields, shortstop Robert Valido and pitcher Sean Tracey will play for the team, although Sweeney is expected to be replaced by Chris Young because of a stretched ligament in his wrist. The Sox also are trying to add reliever Paulino Reynoso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
