July 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:13 PM) BA forever!!! That catch in the Blackout game will live on forever I'll always remember him for 3 things: His celebration of Pods' walk-off in Game 2 of the WS. His dominance of Felix Hernandez in Seattle. His catch in 163.
July 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 12:09 PM) Who goes down? Fields? Kotsay is pretty much a UTL IF at this point. Nix is out of options and Fields has one left. I don't see either of those guys moving. Kotsay most likely replaces Wise in CF. Thanks for the perfect game catch last week, Dewayne.
July 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:10 PM) On any other team I would agree... but on the White Sox... Kotsay might be the best defensive OF we have now that Brian is gone. Even with his bad back, knees, etc. Kotsay's not the same guy he was 2-3 years ago on defense. He was terrible on D this year in the outfield.
July 28, 200916 yr Kotsay will replace Fields as he can play first and the OF. He also would lead-off if Podsednik gets hurt or needs a day off which will probably happen soon as he has not had one.
July 28, 200916 yr I hope that BA survives enough in baseball to prove Ozzie wrong about him. I also hope the he grows up enough to keep his teammates from wanting to kick his ass.

Then he'll fit right in with the rest of our outfield! Seriously, though, that didn't stop Griffey from starting in CF last summer, or Pods playing there for the past month, or Mackowiak playing there three Augusts ago...

July 28, 200916 yr Was Kotsay in the big leagues for the Red Sox? So we'll need to clear a 25 man spot for him?
July 28, 200916 yr If Fields is the next one to guy (which might be the case now) that means we would've unloaded 3 of our draft pick busts in a span of 2 months.

July 28, 200916 yr Great the Sox play Boston soon. If Anderson is up he will lite up the Sox no doubt about that. The sad thing is Anderson would have helped with the defense in CF and the post season as there is no need to carry 12 pitchers and he could have replaced one of them for the playoffs. Not a good move in my mind as organizationally the Sox are that much thinner should something happen to Quentin or Podsednik.

July 28, 200916 yr Plus his wife comes with him. Yes!!!! Edited July 28, 200916 yr by southsideirish71

July 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 12:21 PM) Kotsay was DFA'd when the Red Sox got LaRoche. So can we send him to AAA or does he take a 25 man roster spot?
July 28, 200916 yr Kind of disappointed this means the end of Fields instead of Wise. Not that I like Fields, I just especially don't like Wise on this team. A shame Kotsay can't play OF anymore.

A shame Kotsay can't play OF anymore. Fields has plenty of options left and hopefully we're not totally writing him off yet. I'd like to see him swinging the bat everyday in AAA for at least a few weeks.
