I believe he is actually.

Yep, he had a minor rehab stint down in Seattle last year but hasn't pitched extensively since 2007.

Hopefully It's Austin Kearns. :)

 

 

 

Actually... I could see this signing as well.

I like that idea but I wouldn't want to give Kearns guaranteed money. A split contract would be nice however, or maybe something similar to what the Red Sox did with Smoltz??? where there was a specific date given for the player to be in the Majors, and if he wasn't up by that point the player became a FA.

So should we be expecting two OFFICIAL signings tomorrow?

 

 

 

I dont know where the original post was that said somethin about the signing of a reclamation project today but i dont recall any sources so you guys think theres any truth behind it, was the poster a guy who has connections in the org???

 

 

on a side note justblaze i noticed your avatar....do you play???

he would create moe excitement than Vizquel, but i'm hoping for Duscherer.

My guess on the mystery reclamation project is Daniel Cabrera. I believe he is a free agent, although I may be mistaken. He's really struggled lately, being released by the Nationals last year, but he has/had big upside.

Daniel Cabrera, "The Human Cock-tease" would go right along with T-Pain, in terms of guys with flawless stuff and limited ability to control it. That being said, i'm all for it, assuming we give him a dance down in AAA first. The kid's stuff is to live and die for.

the guy is just too injury prone. He makes Prior look tough

^^I'll second that. He is injury-prone, but he'd make a great swingman in the bullpen, and there were rumors of KW interest before.

I like the thought of bringing in OV for late game defense...but who does he go in for?

 

OV to 2b and Becks to 3b?

I would think he'll replace Teahen.

I don't know if they would want to keep moving Becks around. I hope he is locked in at 2b for the next decade and never moves.

Here's a terrible little tidbit. What if the Sox are signing Vizquel... to start?

 

I wouldn't put it past them.

Unless you are saying a trade of Beckham or Ramirez is in the works, this makes no sense. It would definitely be past them to start him over either of them - no one would do that.

 

Typical former superstar Sox pick up.

Cabrera is nothing short of atrocious, he is a lost cause. There is no need to waste a roster spotanywherefor someone such as himself.

Most of the sources and reports say he is a backup and a mentor for Alexei.

Deal is official now.

#WhiteSox sign Omar Vizquel to one-year contract. 11-time Gold Glove winner will play utility role and mentor other young Sox infielders.

How much for our new infield coach?

$1.375 M

 

He even had a mini-intro-press conference. Jersey and everything.
