ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Phil Rogers.... According to Baseball America, #WhiteSox have signed former #Cubs Daryle Ward and Jeff Gray to minor-league deals. Both former Cubs, and both signed to minor league deals.

Pale Sox Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Filler....but reasonable filler...Gray especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ward is old and crappy, but Jeff Gray is an interesting name. He just recently turned 29, and was terrible with the Cubs last year. However, prior to last season he put up real solid numbers in 2009 for the A's. Between AAA and the Major League team in 2009, Gray pitched 67 innings, striking out 41 while walking just 8 batters unintentionally. Gray has a career 55% GB%, which is very solid.

Balta1701 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Depth in the Charlotte Bullpen isn't a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 So.....this is Plan B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 08:33 AM) So.....this is Plan B? These are (hopefully) guys that would come up mid-season if they're having a decent year at Charlotte, someone from the big league pen gets hurt, and guys that are in Charlotte's pen who we might genuinely be trying to develop (i.e. Anthony Carter) aren't yet ready. Call it whatever plan you want. Otherwise, they're just there to win games for the knights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 07:33 AM) So.....this is Plan B? I think Ward was signed as a solid to his father. The Sox had him several years ago and let him go to the Newark Bears I believe. He's pretty much done at the major league level. Gray has a slight chance to pitch in Chicago, but either he would have to show a lot more than he's shown recently or a lot of things would have to go wrong. These are Charlotte Knights not Chicago White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) So to recap the likely non-roster invitees so far: RHP- Brian Bruney, Josh Kinney, Jeff Gray 3B- Dallas McPherson OF/1B- Daryle Ward Edited December 7, 2010 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Wow, i really thought Ward was retired. I haven't heard anything from him for about three years. Gray really isn't all that awful, and i wouldn't be suprised to see him go somewhat deep into spring with this team.

LittleHurt05 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Daryle Ward?? I guess he could be useful for the 9 games we play in interleague parks where we may need a PH for the pitcher. He is probably worse in the OF than CQ, I remember the Cubs tried him out in RF a few games. Pure comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 That pen is shaping up to be excellent now I know, still to early to bash KW about the pen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Jeff Gray just got married and my aunt was at the wedding. He hated Rothschild. Blames him for his arm troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschmaranz Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 We should give Daryle Ward a nickname... "Plan Q" sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
