JUGGERNAUT Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 ESPN still has Ginter listed for Sat, but he had 13SV, 59ip, and 39 gp in AAA. I don't see how the SOX can expect to get 5 ip out of him Sat. Other options: Dump White, re-call Wright. This seemed the most logical. Starting Buerhle on Sat is not an option. The SOX have 1 off day in the first 24 days of Aug. You have to have a 5th starter in that span. Ginter is not that guy. Dump White or Dauby & bring up Wright. You need Harris & Rowand for late inning D like you saw in the KC series. The competition is strong the rest of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaiza21 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I'd rather get a start out of Ginter. Give him a chance. I doubt Seattle has seen him either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox247 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 CBS scratched in Schoeni for the start but I havent heard word yet. I'm pulling for Danny Wright also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Wright will be the starter tomorrow. He will not be re-called and activated until after tonight's game. Someone will have to be sent down, traded or released to open a spot for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAfan Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I assume they don't have to make the move until after tonight's game. That way they could use either Ginter or White today, whichever one of them is going to be shipped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike12345 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 i think we should start schoenweiss b/c he has faced seattle many times and knows how to pitch to their hitters..the way the sox are playing all we need is an ok start and we can put up enough runs...i think we should bring up wright and send down or release white..wright is younger and can also start for us.

Schoeneweis has only thrown 41 innings all year with his longest outing being 2 2/3. He will not be your starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Schoeneweis has only thrown 41 innings all year with his longest outing being 2 2/3. He will not be your starter. And he hasn't thrown more than 39 pitches in one single outing either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 I agree they will wait until after tonight's game, before making the annoucement so they can make use of the current roster before Wright comes back. They need a 5th starter. Period. With 23 games in the next 24 days there are at least 3 starts for a 5th starter. Being in a dog fight where every game is do or die, you can't simply spot those starts. It's time for Wright to step it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorthsox Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I still wouldn't be at all surprised if it's Willie Harris who gets sent down. They could use an extra arm in the pen more at this point than an extra baserunner. It's a tough call either way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 You cannot start a guy like Ginter/Shoeneweis when they have not started all year. Has to be Wright. He fares well with Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorthsox Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 If Wright can't do the job, then expect Cotts to get the ball next. Agreed Rex, the ball's really in Danny's court right now. We need to win about 33 more games this yr to make it and we can't afford to just hand 7-8 losses over plus burn up the pen that many times(which might hurt more), Danny needs to step up or get out of the way.

SoxFan1 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I think JM is gonna start Shoney tomorrow and then put Whiteflag on the Waiver Wire and bring up Danny for the Bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I seriously doubt they'll be releasing any guys at this point. Wouldn't it be logical to recall Wright after tonites game, send down Ginter, and then reverse the process after Saturdays game? They won't need the 5th starter again until 8/12 or 8/13 vs. Anahiem.

Capn12 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Schoeneweis CANNOT start.....its fact. He is a relief pitcher that hasn't even thrown 3 innings in an outing. It was already said that they were strongly considering bringing up Cotts, but since SEattle hits over .270 as a team vs. lefties, it will be Danny Wright. The only mystery right now is who will be offthe 25 man roster to make room for Danny....my vote goes for Role Player White, or maybe Harris.

I'm gonna have to say ginter since we've only seen him once, i think, since he was called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 There was some discussion earlier that Ginter is out of options. They don't have to send someone down just yet. They could put someone on the 15th day DL to make room for Wright. With the way Whitey Ford has been pitching that's not a bad idea either. Have him do some weight training during that time.

They can shuffle Ginter down to Charlotte and back as many times as they want to this year. Options are technically option years and each year only counts as one option, no matter how many times a guy goes up and down. He has already been sent down this year so his option for this year is spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Gary Glover was the one out of options and that's one of the reasons he was traded. Ginter will most likely get sent down if Wright is brought back up. Just my humble opinion though. I doubt you will see anyone get released.

Rex Hudler Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 If they are going to shuffle players, then sending Ginter or Harris down would only be a paper move. They can activate Wright and send someone down without them actually going somewhere. They can then send Wright down and activate the other player without Wright going anywhere. They could all be paper moves without the players physically going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
