June 7, 200619 yr Sean Tracey Promoted to Chicago; Cliff Politte to the DL By Jason Gage Soxtalk.com The Chicago White Sox placed reliever Cliff Politte on the 15 day disabled list prior to Wednesday’s game due to soreness in his shoulder. Politte, a key cog to last year’s strong bullpen, has struggled mightily in 06; posting a 7.40 ERA in 16 appearances. The White Sox will replace Politte with AAA starter Sean Tracey, who will move into the bullpen in Chicago...Click Here for More On Politte and Tracey Edited June 8, 200619 yr by greasywheels121
June 7, 200619 yr Interesting... I wonder if we even call up another pitcher with interleague play around the corner, or if they do go for another reliever...
June 7, 200619 yr Sean Tracey come on down (or so I hope) but it could be Farnsworth or Javier Lopez.
June 7, 200619 yr My thoughts are with Politte and his family as they try their best to deal with this problem. I hope all goes well and he can begin living a normal healthy life soon.

June 7, 200619 yr It sounds like Jason Grimsley will be looking for new work to replace his old "income"
June 7, 200619 yr Wait, let me get this straight, I don't have to watch Cliff pitch for 15 days? Damn this summer just keeps getting better and better every day!

I understand that fun is fun and baseball is all about fun and winning is fun, but let's not forget the big picture here. Edited June 7, 200619 yr by POPPY_HIDALGO

Damn this summer just keeps getting better and better every day! Second this. Too bad he can't become a major-league center-fielder in 15 days, that would solve two problems at once.

June 7, 200619 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) I said this could happen in the Catch-All Thread. I await your kudos.
June 7, 200619 yr Yep, it was just a matter of time before this happened. Again, Cliff has my never-ending admiration for his performance in 2005.
