October 9, 200916 yr Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=327788 The Chicago White Sox announced that outfielder Dewayne Wise has declared free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Class AAA Charlotte. Wise, 31, hit .225 (32-142) with two home runs and 11 RBI in a career-high 84 games with the White Sox in 2009. In two seasons with the Sox, Wise batted .236 (64-271) with eight homers and 29 RBI. The White Sox 40-man roster is at 36
October 9, 200916 yr Thanks for the catch and best of luck, but I don't ever want to see you in a Sox uni again.
October 9, 200916 yr who was that poster that was in Wise' corner earlier in the season, cant remember his name
October 9, 200916 yr At 31 I'm guessing he may be thinking it is time to hang 'em up if he can't catch on with a mlb roster. Good luck with that.
October 9, 200916 yr I still wouldn't be surprised to see him resign with Chicago on a minor league deal and invite to spring training. The guy is exploring his options, but that does not mean the door is closed on his return.
October 9, 200916 yr Amazing as it is, our defense just got a little worse. I throw up in my mouth at the thought.

October 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (son of a rude @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 11:44 AM) There's no way Ozzie lets his favorite player go. Ozzie loves him that much. Ozzie's new favorite player is Kotsay
October 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 11:45 AM) Ozzie's new favorite player is Kotsay No joke. You could have put Wise on a milk carton after Kotsay got here.
October 9, 200916 yr If it isn't Wise catching hell here for being the 25th player in the ballclub,it'll be someone else... Best of luck to ya D Weezy. Edited October 9, 200916 yr by MexSoxFan#1

October 9, 200916 yr Good guy, best of luck, he'll probably get a minor league deal somewhere. He gets kind of a bad rap for being put in an impossible situation. Now to cull Lillibridge...

He gets kind of a bad rap for being put in an impossible situation. Now to cull Lillibridge... Please, explain to me this impossible situation. All he had to do to hold down a job was hit, major league baseball players hit, Dewayne Wise can't hit. Therefore, Dewayne Wise is not a major league baseball player.

Good luck with that. i think its unlikely. he hasn't exactly raked in the cash. if he thinks he can sign with a squad and be first up as somoeone goes down, he has to take it for at least the possibility of some cash.

I would say the impossible situation was Ozzie declaring him the CF starter. Everyone, probably including Wise deep down, knew he was a marginal bench player and wasnt supposed to be counted on to be the starting CF. He was, and he did what everyone thought he would, hit poorly. Players in baseball have roles, every one of them. Wise was stuck into a role that his career numbers dictated he should not have been.
