March 26, 201115 yr I see where Jeremy Reed is still hanging in there. He is a non roster player with Brewers and having a great ST so far. Candidate for 4th outfielder gig. Hope he makes it, and I'm curious if Sox offered him same opportunity since he ended 2010 with Charlotte.
March 26, 201115 yr I remember when I wouldn't trade this guy for a in-prime Ty Cobb. Oh prospects. I am so surprised he never became at least serviceable. Had a great eye at the plate, not a lot of strikeouts, fast, good fielder.
March 26, 201115 yr Author Same here. I still would rank him ahead of De Aza, Lillibridge, and a few other ST invitees.

March 27, 201115 yr He won us a World Series six years ago by getting traded for Sweaty Freddy...thats all that needs to be brought up
March 27, 201115 yr Brewers just traded Cutter Dykstra to the Nationals for Nyjer Morgan, so Jeremy Reed or Brandon Boggs will get cut soon.
March 27, 201115 yr Author While on the subject of ex Sox prospects, I saw that two were recently cut by their new teams... John Ely (Dodgers) and Chris Carter (Rays).

John Ely (Dodgers) and Chris Carter (Rays). Different Chris Carter. The former Sox Chris Carter is a pretty good prospect with the Athletics. He was also cut and will be playing in AAA this year.
March 28, 201115 yr I'm waiting for Clarence Carter to get cut. The problem is I hear the Sox like his stroke.
March 28, 201115 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 01:39 AM) He's a worse option than Mark Kotsay. Remember when Jeremy Reed was going to be the next Mark Kotsay?

March 28, 201115 yr He can stroke it to the east, stroke it to the west QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 07:44 PM) I'm waiting for Clarence Carter to get cut. The problem is I hear the Sox like his stroke.

March 28, 201115 yr Author I remember after we traded Reed to Seattle, he went from Charlotte to the M's Triple AAA team (Tacoma) and tore it up out there. When he got to the Show, he never hit.

And in-prime Cobb had 410+ batting averages. Do not pass go, go directly to FAIL.
