chw42 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) He's probably going to start for Colon against the Brewers. And seriously, he has a Facebook? Edited June 9, 2009 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and if you go by that rationale, the Sox did use Gavin Floyd a bit out of the pen and rotation in his first season with the Sox. The majority of his outings were starts but he also made 6 relief appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeFabregas Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:16 AM) When's the last time we had a Jewish player on our roster? Al Levine and Scott Schoeneweis come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:45 AM) Firesale of who? These guys I'd put on the bubble right now: Count, Colon, Betemit has already been DFA'd, Gobble, Fields, Getz, maybe Nix but I think he's our UT player Count is the only one who is expensive and we can't move his contract without taking on another bad contract. The other players make very little if not the minimum. Moving any or all of those guys wouldn't constitute a firesale IMO. If we're going to run off a firesale then I'd expect to be hearing about Thome, JD, PK, Linebrink, maybe Jenks, Dotel, but who can take on those contracts? I guess I just don't see it. I see activity, and lots of it, but shedding major contracts of players who are coming off the books anyway doesn't seem to make a ton of sense when there's no one to replace them with. specific names he gave, jenks, dye, dotel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 That is definitely the first news story I will ever break in my lifetime. I could not sleep and was checking facebook updated on the blackberry. The power of social media is very scary. The funny thing is most of the reports just copied my twitter update. The Sox first Jewish player since Schoenweiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Dye, Jenks and Dotel would all have a lot of value, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I realize that we're only 4 games out, but at what point does Kenny Williams, if ever, come to the conclusion that this team isn't that good, despite the rest of the division being very bad? In other words, if the goal is to win a championship, and this team, while it may hang around and give false hope, isn't going to win one much less get over .500, why not trade Jermaine Dye to a team that can use a hitter?
