JPN366 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) Santo Luis should also be fun to watch for JPN with his K numbers, though who knows how he'll manage jumping a level. I'm not that optimistic. 26, first time above A ball, second organization. His numbers from Winston-Salem in 2009 are not encouraging. I think he has control issues as well. I wouldn't be surpirsed if either Bellamy or Remenowsky take the closer job from him if one or both of them are in B'ham. Luis couldn't hold onto the closer role in 2009.

knightni Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I know Nix is out of options, but De Aza is more of an Ozzieball fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 01:08 PM) Correct. And we also have 2 other backup OF's. Yeah, the Sox want another IF, not a 5th OF. De Aza will start in Charlotte, and be called up if Kotsay or Jones are injured. QUOTE (JPN366 @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) Being released I think rules that out. No, I don't think it does. It means the player is free to sign wherever since they are not on the 40-man or under current contract... but it does not rule out the Sox signing them as minor leaguers who are not on the 40. At least, I think that is how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 01:39 PM) I know Nix is out of options, but De Aza is more of an Ozzieball fit. Both of the DH's can play the outfield but Vizquel is our only backup infielder. Keeping Nix adds more flexibility and guards against relying too heavily on Vizquel. Not to mention: I really don't think De Aza is good enough to risk losing Nix through waivers, Alejandro's a pretty mediocre ballplayer who I'm not sure adds much to the tam aside from pinch running duties.

chisoxfan09 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Being released I think rules that out. Oh well the Cabrera experiment is over. I bet he gets picked one more time b4 the year is over. I don't think he wants to hang it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I liked Nix last year but for some reason wish he was not goignot make it this year. Same thing with lillibridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 12:10 PM) The White Sox released pitcher Daniel Cabrera and outfielder Jason Botts, according to a team press release. Cabreras fate was sealing when he stopped hitting the upper nineties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) Why send down De Aza over Nix? In all odds, one of Jones, Kotsay, or TCQ is going to be hurt at some point this year. He will be back up then most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he gets picked one more time b4 the year is over. I don't think he wants to hang it up. He'll end up in someone's minor league system at least, unless his shoulder is shot or something.

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 So the only two battles left for the 25 are: Santos/Aquino Niz/Lillibridge/Retherford And those are probably 80% settled anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 It's Nix/Retherford/De Aza, Lillibridge ain't gonna make the team, but Nix can play a lot more positions....sorta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but you say he is not pitching at over 90 MPH on the fastball. Maybe he has lost it completely. Tha tis really the only plus pitch he had left with control of course.

That could also be Cabrera trying to use Cooper's style of pitching and it not working ala Nick Massett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
