August 21, 200322 yr August 31: Waiver Trading Deadline September 1: Roster Expansion Will the Sox acquire anyone by 8/31? Who will likely be called up on 9/1? Discuss.
August 21, 200322 yr I don't think we are aquiring anyone. Guys to look for on Sept 1st., include Jon Rauch, Ross Gload, Felix Diaz, Matt Ginter, Mike Porzio, Joe Borchard, Tim Hummel, and Jaime Burke
August 21, 200322 yr I don't think we are aquiring anyone. Guys to look for on Sept 1st., include Jon Rauch, Ross Gload, Felix Diaz, Matt Ginter, Mike Porzio, Joe Borchard, Tim Hummel, and Jaime Burke I'm thinking Borchard may stay down to work. We already have too many OF's on the roster and adding JB only complicates things further. JMO though.
August 21, 200322 yr Only thing I can see them acquiring is a reliever. I don't know if the Angels are gonna be dealing Weber, but I know there was talk about him getting moved around the trade deadline.
August 21, 200322 yr I could see David Sanders coming back up. He's got to learn how to be an affective reliever at the big league level.
August 21, 200322 yr I could see David Sanders coming back up. He's got to learn how to be an affective reliever at the big league level. Sanders and Munoz will both be called up. Definately Sanders though. I think Sanders is pretty good. The key for him is to pitch consistently, when he does that he's an excellent lefty and i think he'll prove that next season with the Sox.
August 21, 200322 yr There is one guy that I noticed had cleared waivers a couple weeks back. Mike DeJean from Milwaukee. He's had a rough year so far with a 4.95 E.R.A., but has had a pretty decent career over the years. I think he could be effective if he were to switch leagues. Thoughts? CWSOX45

I really think Munoz could help this pen, along with Sanders and Ginter. Only time will tell though. CWSOX45
August 21, 200322 yr Dejean would be awesome, at times he can be unhittable, and a winning team can change the attitude and effectiveness of a pitcher.

True, I'd also like the Sox to sign Jose Paniagua too. If Paniagua returned to his dominant self in 2000 and if DeJean could find his old stuff we get two valuable pick-ups. I know they're both big question marks, but it's worth a shot. CWSOX45
August 21, 200322 yr i dont forsee a whole heck of alot happening... we may add a few guys just to see a little of what they can do but i dont expect too much ...........i think we stand pretty much pat where we are now........
August 22, 200322 yr Well, as we all know by now, the Sox have acquired a reliever. As for September call-ups, I don't think there will be very many. There might be 3 or 4 guys that might be able to help us win a game here or there, but there is no need in having guys here if you aren't going to let them play. And they won't play them as long as we are in the race.
August 22, 200322 yr With Charlotte in a pennent race, I'd rather we didn't raid the farm just for the hella it.

August 22, 200322 yr August 31: Waiver Trading Deadline September 1: Roster Expansion Will the Sox acquire anyone by 8/31? Who will likely be called up on 9/1? Discuss. Unless I am confused (which is possible) I do not believe there is such a thing as a waiver trade deadline. Trades can be made, but aren't likely since playoff rosters have to be set September 1st.
August 22, 200322 yr With Charlotte in a pennent race, I'd rather we didn't raid the farm just for the hella it. This doesn't really apply because Charlotte will either be in the playoffs (doubtful) or their season will be over after Sept. 1. If they make the playoffs, look for call ups to be delayed. My guess is that you will see Hummel, Burke or Riviera, and maybe one or two more pitchers. Borchard is a possibility, but not a given. I doubt they will bring up a bunch of guys for two reasons. 1. It costs money to bring them up 2. They won't likely get much playing time with the Sox in a pennant race.

I wonder if teams like the pirates even bother to set playoff rosters........?
