Chet Lemon Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I was a Neal Cotts fan as he came up through our farm system and I thought he would be great out of the bullpen even before the '05 season, but he is worthless know. I was in KC about a month ago watching him pitch after a rain delay, and it was a joke. Not to mention ever since then. Is it possible to option him to AAA until he shows he can get guys out? I don't know who to replace him with, but this guy pushes me to the ledge as much as Marte did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their season is over in a week, and then they have playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLAK Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Jerry Owens was on White Sox weekly a few minutes ago and said he heard through his agent that 'something' might happen today. Thats all he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Neal Cotts hasn't been good for a long time when called from the pen. What could be wrong? Is he that out of form then when he pitched last year. He had a 1.93 ERA or something last season and every game he pitches in now he gets blasted. Â But, in his defense it seeme the whole bullpen other than Jenks has been a hit or miss proposition. One game they are good and the next we have like yesterday. 3 innings pitches and 6 runs given up plus that inevitable home run they surrender.

GoodAsGould Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Id rather DL Cotts give him some time off and also in essence make both of them available for the playoffs so in Sept. whoever outperforms one another we can take and leave the other one home.

That could very well be the case. Its interesting considering he last played on August 10th. That said he was making some strides prior to going down. You just wouldn't think a guy that hasn't played in two weeks would get called up, than again with Ozzie sometimes our callups make little to no sense because if he likes a guy he wants him up regardless of how he's doing in AAA.

Dick Allen Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Maybe they are trading him to Boston for Rudy Seanez. Back when the Riske trade happened, Gammons said KW really wanted Seanez, but settled for Riske. Seanez was DFA a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
