OZUNA DFA per 670 the Score

Sad, but really it was the best solution. We'll see if someone picks him up.

 

Noooooooooooooooooo! I'll miss you Pablo! Best of luck to him, I hope somebody picks him up!

that's a bummer. I love Pablo. Makes sense though.

I'll always like Pablo but this is really the most logical action.

This means they do not have to do anything until after the ASB as they have 10 days correct? This differs from waivers correct?

someone pull up the preseason Uribe conversations when he was DFA and then put on waivers and then... and then.. back on the team pulled of waivers

Sad, but really it was the best solution. We'll see if someone picks him up.

 

^^^^^^

 

 

Good luck Pablo...hopefully you can hop on some NL team with something to play for this year.

That is a bummer. I always enjoyed what he did here and I'll continue to root for him on the next team he plays for (he's definitely good enough to get another major league job in this league).

 

Anyone know if Paulie is going to start tonight? I'm assuming with him flying in today that they'll hold Paulie out today and have him play in the final two games.

He really wasnt the same player after the injury.The old Pablo I would have been bummed about him being gone but this guy I wont miss.

I guess this could also be a ploy by Ken Williams to basically gain additional leverage on whichever team he is potentially talking to regarding a Uribe deal (basically indicating that we don't have to trade him and are happy to keep him on the bench...heck, we just DFA'd Ozuna to show exactly that).

 

Again, odds are that isn't the case, but its a possibility. I also believe the Sox are comfortable with there options down in the minors in Bourgois, Richar, and Getz.

FINALLY!

they said konerko will be starting tonight on the radio

 

i agree with the sentiment of others here...i appreciate what pablo did..always played hard, did a few little things well....but he was the most logical subtraction...guys with no power, no on base ability and poor defenders just arent that valuable

bye pablo. I'll never forget your stolen base after pinch running for AJ in the ALCS. Crede knocked you in and we didn't lose after that.

I don't care for the limbo of DFA. Doesn't seem fair to the player to leave them hanging for up to 10 days. Why not just release them outright? In Ozuna's case, that's the likely end result anyway.

The good news here is that Jenks doesn't need to go to the DL or I assume he doesn't because they would not have needed to DFA pablo if Jenks went to the DL.

Who is our backup 3B now??

Amen.

 

Thanks for everything you did for us in 2005!!

If I ever see you in a bar, it's on me, bud! :

 

Who is our backup 3B now??

Casey Blake.

 

Seriously, though, maybe Fields.

Juan Uribe

Juan Uribe

 

f***

Uribe. If Crede goes down for any extended period of time the Sox would call up Fields or make a trade. Uribe is far far better than Ozuna defensively at 3B too. Remember, when we first acquired Juan he was used in a platoon role and excelled (playing 3B, SS, & 2B).

I guess this could also be a ploy by Ken Williams to basically gain additional leverage on whichever team he is potentially talking to regarding a Uribe deal (basically indicating that we don't have to trade him and are happy to keep him on the bench...heck, we just DFA'd Ozuna to show exactly that).

I hope so. Losing Pablo takes away one of our better contact hitters and bunters. Uribe is an all-or-nothing type player that our lineup is too full of. I hope he gets dealt and one of those guys from AAA gets pulled up.

Good luck Pablo, were going to miss ya. Hopefully someone will pick you up, just so you don't do any damage to the Sox!!

f***

 

Crede hardly sits...Uribe once and a while will not kill us.
