Maybe sore side is a euphemism just like "family issues."

Rongey said groin issue--also implied that it was minor.

I'll go with Rongey...it was late and I was zoning in and out of the game.

"No word on what the Sox plans are for Cannizaro, but I ultimately believe this move had more to do with AAA than the majors. The conspiracy theorist out there may think Cannizaro was acquired to replace Getz (who'd go on the DL), but even if Getz injury was more serious than we've been told (leading to the DL), the Sox would first turn to Brent Lillibridge."

 

Ugh, I hope not.

 

People keep saying that when Lillibridge is brought up, but c'mon. WHO ELSE DO WE HAVE?

 

Josh Fields? Can't play middle infield. And right now can't play period.

Keith Ginter or Eider Torres? No thank you.

CJ Retherford? Would he be able to make the jump from AA?

Wilson Betemit?

 

I mean it's not like we have many other options. And if Getz were to get hurt Nix would be the regular. We'd be looking for a backup and Lillibridge could provide good 'D' at multiple spots and is a good option to PR with. No one else should really even be considered.

Lillibridge is actually playing really well over the last month in AAA. I won't have a hissy fit (as some people will) if he gets called up in September.

He has not been playing well in August.

 

.194 .333/.258/.591

 

Like I said--two good months in the past two years.

Cannizaro ... rings a bell. Wasn't there a catcher named Chris Cannizaro once upon a time?
