Guest wsc425 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 When Roberto arrives, how about the White Sox designate Jimenez for assignment. Major league clubs do it often and they get prospects or cash. The White Sox could swing a deal to get Pierre from the Marlins or something.

Plus I don't see the marlins trading anyone till atleast they are 5-10 games below .500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winning Ugly Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 We won't get Pierre with what he has done this year for the fish, and that he's cheap for them. Leave DJ on the bench for a untility role and waive Rios, the scrub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I believe the term "designated for assignment" applies when you wish to send down a player who is out of options or has five years of service. IOW you can't just send him down to the minors. You make him available to the rest of the two leagues. Jiminez is different. We can send him down to Charlotte, no questions asked, unless he is out of options, which I do not think is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
