August 2, 201213 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 07:22 PM) Let's be honest, when Lillibridge was here, he was more the 5th outfielder, than backup infielder. no? It sure seems like all 3 of our infielders could use a day or two off.
August 2, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) Fontenot seems like a pretty damn good fit for our bench Does he have to pass through waivers?
August 2, 201213 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:04 AM) Does he have to pass through waivers? yes
August 2, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) yes And does he have a contract where we wouldn't just claim him if he got to us?
August 2, 201213 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) Does he have to pass through waivers? Yeah. Good chance somebody would claim him bc his salary is low.
August 2, 201213 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:08 AM) And does he have a contract where we wouldn't just claim him if he got to us? I doubt it would prevent Sox from claiming him
August 2, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) I doubt it would prevent Sox from claiming him Would other teams claim him before he got to the Sox??? All these victories have us lower on the pecking order.

You have to think with the 2nd wildcard now, there are a lot more teams that feel they are in it and would find Fontenot to be a nice bench player.
August 2, 201213 yr Fontenot, yes please! I don't think he'll get to us, though. But I have to believe Kenny will put in a claim for him.
August 2, 201213 yr I don't see how Fontenot can be any better/worse than what to expect out of Olmedo. If he falls to the Sox, they should pick him up.
August 2, 201213 yr Would other teams claim him before he got to the Sox??? All these victories have us lower on the pecking order. I have a very hard time seeing a left-handed utility infielder with a decent OBP passing through 26 teams.
