Shouldn't he be in Minnesota with the team Wednesday?

you gotta be kidding me richard to the pen? What kind of message does this send to the kid, He pitches his heart out the last 2 starts with his back against the wall. Only to be rewarded by being sent to the pen. Unbelievable!

Thank you! Just woke up from my nap haha. Tells you how bored i am of KW and his lack of moves.

I'm sure he is smart enough to see that the pen is desperate for lefties, especially with Thornton expecting his kid.

Wise stays again!

That is what I think he meant. If it is late and they need an out vs. Mauer or Morneau, Richard would be available.

Dwayne Wise is the 2009 version of Andy Gonzalez from 2007...a garbage player who somehow manages to make it on the roster all year batting less than .200. At least...that's what I think his name was...he was so awful I tried to block that memory from my mind....

Sometimes I hate the veteran player mindset a few team officials with the Sox have.

Colon probably will pull his fat sometime again soon.

MDGonzales: Williams said he spoke to Josh Fields and his agent about Fields' future. Sounds like Fields could be next to go

Sounds like the guy is going to be traded.

I'm surpised they pulled the Fields experiment this early, especially after he did pretty damn well his rookie year. I would've kept him at least until we saw what we did with Thome, Dye, and Podsednik along with Beckham, Alexi and Getz.

Mark Gonzales

Mark Gonzales

MDGonzales Sox GM Williams said he was on the phone from 8:30 a.m. till 30 minutes ago, says some dialogue is more like Sr. Prom than 8th grade dance

 

I think we are trading Fields in the next 24 hours.

There seems to be at least one player a year that fits that description, actually. Timo Perez is an example from 2005.

Sounds like the guy is going to be traded.

I hope he already is traded. It's strange that KW would be telling reporters things like that before he actually closes a deal. It could mean that Josh is just going to be sent down to AAA after the game.

Wow, Richard puts up two great starts against divisional foes and gets replaced by Colon. I don't like it one bit.

I'm not assuming that the rumored roster moves are true yet...

 

This is Cowley we're talking about here.

I don't think we'll see Richard in the pen on August 1st. Either he'll be traded or Colon will be replaced with a veteran lefty via trade (Rhodes, Beimel, etc).

Normally I would be totally against this move, but we desperately need a lefty in the pen. Thornton will probably be missing for a couple games pretty soon. The problem is, I am sure they will keep Clayton "The Mask" Richard in the pen even after Thornton's wife has his kid.

Both Cowley and Gonzales confirmed Richard going to the bullpen.

 

That HAD to be done because we didn't have a lefty in the pen with Thornton out.

 

Kotsay coming Wednesday.

 

It really comes down to what they are gonna do with Fields it seems like.

?

all right these moves scream 2nd place!!!!!

I believe this is the opposite of a youth movement. At least hopefully Richard's arm will get a few weeks to recover from the long outings he's had recently.

When Josh Fields is traded and some other team works with him on his swing, perhaps in the NL, I think that's one we're really going to wind up regretting.
