The Ginger Kid Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 From sox website: New arrivals: The White Sox plan on adding catcher Raul Casanova, first baseman Ross Gload and left-handed reliever David Sanders from Charlotte when rosters officially expand to 40 on Thursday. Switch-hitting outfielder Joe Borchard, outfielder Brian Anderson and right-handed reliever Jeff Bajenaru will join the team on Tuesday, Sept. 6. The Sox definitely need some kind of spark and I think this crew could provide a nice lift for a pretty tired line up. I got a funny feeling Borchard might have figured it out.

AddisonStSox Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm pulling like hell for Joe. Let's make something happen up here, Borch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 LOL Casanova = Spanish for CRAP Sanders = another way to say Kevin Walker Borchard = LOL Anderson and Baj are players, but they're not exactly going to carry you to the promised land. I think Anderson may have blown his wad already with that game in Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with half the board. But if you think Borchard is gonna somehow be good, you go right ahead and believe that. He sucks. I bet even he knows it. And if you think those minor league players are going to help us when we're already in the middle of blowing a gigantic division lead, you go right ahead and believe that, too.

Don't forget that he might be able to tryout for the Bears QB job while he's in town, solidifying his savior status. I only suggested they might offer a spark. And that this team desperately needs a spark. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing LTP pinch hitting for Tmo or Willie or Blum late in a game when the Sox need a long ball. Maybe that's delusional.

If there's a righty pitcher, Timo won't get pinched hit for, no matter who's on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my point was along these lines, though I didn't state it very well. Ross Gload is the only player on that list who could make any significant impact, but we know he's going to be lower on the depth chart than Timo Perez.

I understand what you're saying, but until now Ozzie hasn't had many choices sitting on that bench to go to instead of Timo (how pathetic is that?). I can only hope you're wrong.

Buehrle>Wood Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) I could be wrong, but I thought I heard Burke will be called up when the AAA season ends on September 5th, along with Brian Anderson. Also, we have all been hearing Casanova was going to get called up for awhile now. No real surprise. EDIT: Ignore the the first part. There was talk of this before, but now I just reread the original article, so it aint going to happen.

There was talk of this before, but now I just reread the original article, so it aint going to happen. Anderson and Bajenaru were both reassigned to Charlotte earlier this week and have to stay down for 10 days or until the respective Minor League season ends before returning to the Majors. The Knights' 2005 campaign closes out on Monday. A space will have to be made for either Casanova or Sanders on the 40-man roster, with the White Sox currently sitting at 39. It appears that both catcher/third baseman Jamie Burke and reliever Jon Adkins were passed over as reserves for the stretch drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Who wants to bet promoting Casanova was a personal decision of Guillens? He probably feels Casanova's veteran presence will be beneficial for our clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kogs35 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 jamie burke is out of options iirc. so if hes placed on the 40 man he has togo through waivers again if and when they need the roster spot. so if cassenova is coming up its because hes got options left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
