Jeff Grey up, Milledge DFA - per Gonzo

 

Milledge designated for assignment; Gray contract purchased. More to come on whitesox.com - Scott Merkin also confirms.

 

I guess my avatar is staying.

That was quick. Probably bringing up another pitcher.

f***.

Really?

That was an eyebrow raiser.

I knew having both of them on the team and 6 RP was only a matter of time, just didn't think Milledge would be the one going.

I'm wondering if there is a story behind the story. I know he sucked in LF yesterday, but they watched him play all spring.

Bullpen needed help especially for today's game.

If he can't play the outfield, then he is pretty useless. Of course, it's only two games, but man those were an ugly two games.

 

Gray will likely be sent back down when JP is up next week.

Simply put, we needed another reliever and Lastings was proving unreliable in the field. Boers and Bernstein mentioned his tenure wouldn't be long here, so who knows if he was in the doghouse for other things.

Ummm what? This is dumb. They are seriously going to take Lilli over Millidge? I guess the Battle of the Millibridge took an unfortunate turn.

we certainly needed another bullpen arm (with the state of this pen...we certainly need to carry 12 pitchers, not 11), but its a joke that lillibridge is on this team instead of milledge...so im guessing there was something this guy did that didnt win him favors in the clubhouse

Didn't expect to see this today

wow not even a week

We have to have at least one back up OF who can actually catch the ball. Seeing as Teahen isn't going anywhere, it has to be Milledge. Plus no one else can play CF.

You have to be freaking kidding me... after ONE mistake in the field?

Try 3. In like 6 or 7 chances.

So what is his status now? He can choose to accept a demotion or become a FA, is that right?

I think all 29 teams have a chance to claim him, if they don't, then he gets the choice of accepting demotion or opting for FA.

Jesus. We knew Ozzie would want to keep Lillibridge's grindy ass.

Yeah, he had a couple misplayed balls, DFA HIS ASS! Seriously, if this was true then there would be tons of players DFA'd. It had to be something more along of the lines of him screwing up inside the clubhouse, or Lillibridge holding Kenny's family hostage.

I would think there is probably more to the story. He was pretty brutal in the field, but he's a better hitter than Lillibridge.

Him being "brutal" in 2 games in the field were still better than Teahen has been at any position. It's amazing how much security Teahen has just because of that mother f'n contract.

We have enough hitters. My guess is they want the best defender and they think that is Lillibridge.

As well as someone that can score on a double in the gap
