April 28, 201312 yr Scot Gregor @scotgregor 1h White Sox option Tekotte back to AAA Charlotte. Will make corresponding roster move Tuesday at Texas. Likely add another pitcher
April 28, 201312 yr They should dump Heath and bring in 2 more pitchers. Or Veal too and bring up 3. Coop must think he can turn it around.
April 28, 201312 yr Hopefully if they're calling up a pitcher that means Keppinger will be ready to play on Tuesday.
April 29, 201312 yr Author Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 9h One preseason worry with CWS was they were too right-handed offensively. But with Viciedo's injury, they became overly left-handed ... in the OF off the bench. So the replacement for Tekotte might be a right-handed bat instead of an eighth reliever The White Sox 40-man roster is at 40 so if the move came from outside there would have to be another corresponding move to make room

Edit. He is a Brooklyn Nets fan. If he was good, it could be ignored, but he's not that good. Edited April 29, 201312 yr by Dick Allen
April 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 02:00 PM) I think it has to be Purcey. With Santiago moving to the rotation we now have two rather weak lefties in the pen. Better 3 weak lefties than 2, eh?
April 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 03:01 PM) Relief pitching can be a crap shoot and as a Sox fan I think we know that better than most. Look at Nate Jones last year. Look at Donnie Veal. We saw it with a Randy Williams a few years back. Erick Threets anyone? Who had expected them to be a force in the pen let alone on the team. If Purcey can give us a month of a sub 3 ERA he is making us a better team. All I am saying is I would rather have another left handed option (with Veal scuffling and Thornton years past his hay day) than Duente Heath or a useless Tekotte. Oh I understand, I just think it's funny. The only position that may be more volatile in all of sports is a place kicker.
April 29, 201312 yr A right-handed hitting outfielder is far more important than whether we have a left handed specialist
