He gone.

He gone.

 

Ah yes. The movement we've all been waiting for.

So the Sox didn't pull him back?

so who pitches in blow out games now?

Good riddance.

One of the worst position players I can remember in a Sox uniform. Funny, we all loved the move when we claimed him. He needs to convert to pitcher if he wants a future MLB career.

Why would someone claim Casper Wells.

Here is a link to the story I found online about this:

Not that it matters in the slightest bit, because Casper Wells is brutal, but does this mean the SOX put him on waivers, someone claimed him, and the SOX just said have him?

 

I thought that past July 31, if someone was claimed on waivers, the teams had a day to figure out a trade, pull the guy back off waivers, or let the other team have the player. Obviously the SOX just said have him, but usually I thought there was a day or two lag time before you know what the outcome of the claim is.

Seems like most teams just put the whole roster out there at one time. Some to try and sneak someone by teams, but I have no idea why the Phillies needed Wells. They can find anyone to do what he does.

They have like 72 hours...but Wells could have been put on waivers 3 days ago.

Wells got put on waivers. From that point, teams had 3 days to decide whether or not to put in a claim. The Phillies won the claim, meaning that no AL team put in a claim nor did any NL team with a worse record than Philly. Once the claim was awarded, the Sox and Phillies had 24 hours to negotiate, though those negotiations probably consisted of Hahn telling the Phillies "He's yours now" and there you go.

 

Yes, the Sox could have pulled him back but I don't see the point.

 

He was just another guy and not a very good one at that...

Considering he came in cold and hadn't done it before... I thought he looked semi-decent in that one pitching outing. He may want to seriously consider that.

 

Mark Reynolds DFAd by the Indians. He's probably the best 3b FA next offseason.

That is what I figured, just wanted it confirmed. Thanks.

God no.

Dunn and Reynolds in the same lineup would be bizarre.

Yeah, it can't happen.

No big deal, just his 5th team this year.

 

Seattle -> Toronto -> Oakland -> Chicago -> Philadelphia

 

How many more cities can he call home this year?

You gotta be kidding. Gillaspie is better.

this mark reynolds?...

I was mainly joking on how awful the 3b market is. I wouldn't recommend any of them...or Gillaspie for that matter.

I wonder if Carlos Sanchez is on his way up, as he was pulled from yesterday's game? Of course, he could have just gotten injured.

Why would they want another infielder though?
