Should Sox bring back Vizcaino?

Featured Replies

I think the Sox should take a chance on Vizcaino and plug him into the bullpen.

 

I've already had enough of Egbert, and Vizcaino has got to be better than MacDougal.

 

Plus, we should be able to get Vizcaino for cheap.

 

What do you all think?

No...had chance to see him pitch. He was hanging every slider he threw.

We have plenty of other bad relief pitchers...no need for another one.

Vizcaino is probably done. I wonder who is next from Charlotte. Egbert threw over 50 pitches and raised his 18.00 ERA to 27.00. I would imagine he's going back to Charlotte. Maybe Link comes up. Charlotte is bad.

why not. can't be worse than we've seen so far. Plus Coop knows what Viz needs to do.

I think they want a guy who can go 2 or 3 innings. Vizcaino was the lamb on that 2005 team and was appreciated for it. They may go after him. I wouldn't expect much.

I'd like to see Link, but is he ready? What's the scoop on him?

 

Too bad the Sox released Franklyn German, this would've been a perfect time to call him up and see what he can do.

NO. No more Jizz Can.

 

And can we please we stop talking about bringing back former players? I would like to offer a suggestion for the administrators of this website. Find the complete roster of former White Sox players within the, lets say, 5 years and put them in the language filter.

He needs to gain 5 mph on his fastball. Cooper can't exactly work that.

He tried with Loaisa. I would imagine Egbert should go down at the end of the game so they could bring someone up who may be used if need be tomorrow. Its ridiculous to keep him on the major league roster right now

I know the Sox really liked Link at the end of last season but were dissappointed in him this spring. I don't know if he can go multiple innings. I think that is the one thing that could keep him in Charlotte right now.

Yes because he has the best nickname is sports history.

 

Egbert has been optioned back to AAA, corresponding move to follow.

Egbert.....................he gone.

Broadway, Jimenez, Link, Marquez or Russell. Or, Jayson Nix.

Its going to be a pitcher. They swap out like players for the most part. Pitcher for Pitcher, fielder for fielder.

I'll put my money on Link, Marquez and Jimenez have been lit up, and Russell's a known quantity. Broadway's possible though, but he's been starting. Jon Link is cool as hell.

The dream is over.

On the video board last year when Jon Link came into the game, it showed him holding a flaming baseball...awesome.

 

Sean Tracey? ;p

I thought Jimenez was released too.

That was my question. Can he still pitch? Fathom has seen him and it must not have looked too good.
