witesoxfan Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 10:44 AM) Kinda figured it was true. Hahn was on ESPN radio yesterday, and said the Belisario deal was probably getting completed "in the next day or so". He didn't mention him by name. Anyway, once Belisario and Downs are on the 40-man, somebody has to be dumped to make room. Candidates--Heath, Morel, Nestor Molina, Santos Rodriguez? Heath seems the likeliest to go.

peppers312 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 looks like Rotoworld is reporting there's a deal in the works http://www.rotoworld.com/player/mlb/2999/scott-downs if so, Hahn resolves the other lefty out of the pen. wow.

No. McDade and Tekotte were outrighted to Charlotte a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Rosenthal: Source: Downs’ deal with #WhiteSox will be one year, $4M range with vesting option that could bring deal to about two years/$8M. Option with #WhiteSox will vest if Downs pitches to his normal workload, per source. Deal pending physical. @jonmorosi first reported close.

I believe he is out of options, so he'll likely be gone by the time the season starts anyways. As of right now, he makes sense to stick simply due to the fact that he is younger.

I see what your saying, but there's always the chance of Veal turning it around and being useful, even if it is a remote chance. OTOH, Morel will never be useful for anything...

BlackSox13 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Nothing to complain about with this deal at all. Love the salary and especially the 64% ground ball rate. Another good deal by Hahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why you brought up Donnie Veal, but while I agree that there is virtually no chance that Brent Morel turns into anything useful, I think he has a better chance than Duente Heath does.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Bullpen might not even skip a beat without Reed. Jones-Downs-Belisario-Lindstrom-Veal are probably all locks. I can see Webb and Petrika battle for a spot, and Rienzo and Paulino battle for the 5th spot with the loser getting mop up duties. Gotta love the fact that between Downs, Belisario and Lindstrom they pitched 172 innings while allowing a combined 6 HRs....Addison Reed gave up 6 by himself in 71.

I don't doubt it. I think we need at least one more bullpen arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
