Jermaine Dye-OF-White Sox Jun. 23 - 8:56 pm et

 

The White Sox likely will place Jermaine Dye on the DL and recall Ryan Sweeney prior to Sunday's game.

 

Dye aggravated his strained quad Friday and wasn't even available as a pinch-hitter today, so it looks like he's going to need a couple of weeks off. Sweeney will likely play fairly regularly in his place. He could also see time in center when the White Sox use Rob Mackowiak in right field.

f***.

mother f***er, trade valueeeeeeeee

It won't be Sweeney that's called up....watch J. Jones be our starting RF on Monday.

Do we need a rabbi, priest, or minister to get this done?

Sweeney should be up for the rest of the year.

We need a month long all star break.

Wow.

What penance must we serve to the baseball gods who are pissed we won it all two years ago.

Well the Knights game just ended and Sweeney was not pulled out of the game.

 

God, I don't want to see Jaq Jones in a Sox uniform

Neither do I. It's about time they called up Sweeney. They must not really like Anderson at all because he's a righty and not being called up.

It's not that. He's hurt again. Not to mention he's not playing well at all. It's not all a conspiracy theory, it is what it is on the surface.

The only question is what the Sox will give up for him. That will be interesting.

There goes just about all of Dye's trade value. Lets just hope someone offers him a contract and we dont wind up getting stuck with him again because we offered him arbitration! Well, a 1st/2nd round pick and a sandwich pick aint that bad.

Way to pull the trigger before something like this happens KW. Great job!

Yeah, I'm sure the Dodgers were all set to trade Billingsley for Dye if KW had just signed off. Dye has had OBP under .300 the whole season and has been creating triples for the opposing team in RF. Everyone in baseball can see it. In the case of Dye, it's better to wait and try to get the compensatory draft picks. Dye's trade value has been on a downward spiral since the start of the season, the last time KW had a good chance to deal Dye for value was the offseason and if that had happened, most Sox fans would have thought he went crazy.

I'm sure we have been offered a few different packages, and I'm sure Kenny is thinking he shot himself in the foot now that JD is on the DL.

Just my opinion, but I feel pretty sure that 2 compensatory picks will beat out whatever KW has been offered for Dye this season.

We'll probably never know for sure.

I know it was rumored but I have a hard time believing we could have got Billingsly for Dye. Im more than fine with recieving the draft picks from him if we cant get a trade done. Buehrle and I guess Iguchi are the guys who need to be moved. And if at all possible Thome and Contreras too.

Shoot me. Shoot me now. I won't move, so you'll only need one bullet. Unless it's a Sox reliever doing the shooting, in which case, you better use a grenade.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it does.

Lots of rumors and speculation. Dye still has a lot of value and a trade for him might not happen till July or August. Sox probably want to make sure he is healthy and can showcase him a little more to a team needing offense. Buerhle seems to be out of the picture as far as the Sox signing him is concerned and it appears that the only thing holding back a trade is simply weighing the best options. I am sure there will be more. I always cringe though when I hear the fact KW wants minor league talent. I haven't seen many of these minor league talent trades pan out for us.

Conteras, Vazquez, Iguchi, Buehrle, Uribe, possibly AJ if the Sox can land Saltamachia. Thome only if you are offered something great.

I still think Thome should be one of the main guys we're looking to trade. We're likely not going to be a contender during the rest of his contract, and we could get some very valuable players for him.

Our options are limited to about 3 or 4 teams unless someone wants to take him on as a full time first baseman. Even if those 3 or 4 teams all happen to be interested, it's still a small bidding war.
