June 2, 200916 yr So who exactly do you release, or move down to accommodate this request. He hasn't hit all year long, so what exactly will this accomplish. Perfect reason to get rid of Wise, IMO.
June 2, 200916 yr QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 05:40 PM) Obviously we would sign him in September when rosters expand and we could stretch out the finale of his career in a 30 day tribute. Who knows, he may play great and we make the playoffs and forces himself onto the team. Welcome aboard! Good post cause I could actually see that happening.

June 2, 200916 yr QUOTE (MN_Sox @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) Wasn't the last time Big Frank was on the team, we won the World Series? So was Geoff Blum
June 2, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 06:38 PM) So was Geoff Blum As well as crazy Carl Everett.
June 2, 200916 yr QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 04:45 PM) As well as crazy Carl Everett. Timo Perez was the man!

June 3, 200916 yr The September signing scenario would require our 40 man roster to stay below 40 until than. I don't see this being the case as Kenny is not done dealing. There's a good chance all 40 spots will be filled within the next 90 days.
June 3, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 03:15 PM) The only reason Wise is on the roster right now is because of TCQ's injury. In another few days Wise will be choosing between Charlotte or another PCL or IL destination. I call bulls***. Ozzie loves Wise. We could have Kroeger up here, or Restovich. We don't. We have Dewayne Wise.
June 3, 200916 yr It's all dreamworld. Frank would need a long extended stint in AAA which would be dumb for all concerned. He'd come up and the only place he could play is DH which we have one. Platooning he and Thome would be dumb. Also even though Frank is unemployed he won't come back to a team, any team, to sit. He wants to play. I wonder what he does every day in Vegas? Bring him back as third base coach or hitting coach NOW. I'd go for that.

Ozzie said there is no way Wise will loose his job due to injury. And he was starting when he separated his shoulder. So he's back and by the time CQ comes back, he will play himself out of this team. As of right now there is no way they will get rid of Pods or Brian, it has to be Wise.

June 3, 200916 yr QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 04:47 PM) In the Daily Herald today there is a column that says the White Sox are open to bringing back Frank Thomas if he wants to come. But is this just a move to let him retire with the White Sox or will he actually play? The guestions begs to be answered: What position does Frank take on a team that already has a DH. I love the Big Hurt, but it dopesn't make much sense to have him on the roster if he just sits on the bench taking up a spot just to pinch hit once in awhile.

Bring back Frank, DFA Betemit, use Frank as your backup utility infielder and be happy with the defensive improvement.

June 3, 200916 yr Next time someone is DL'd this may happen-they will be launching Corky off the 40, right?
