Would come as a big surprise to me if Javy Guerra is not a member of the #WhiteSox very soon.

Replaces Boggs on the 40 man?

I'm really hoping this turns into a bigger trade than just Guerra for whatever.

He was claimed off waivers by the Sox. I thought they had to make a trade, but I guess not.

 

40 on the 40-man now.

Alright Coop,work your magic!

Was hoping Beckham was gone.

Me too.

Maybe he can DH. He has walked every time he has batted in the major leagues. Once.

That's like a month's worth of walks for Alexei.

Guerra was pretty good in 2012. He'd be a nice add.

#WhiteSox have claimed Javy Guerra off waivers from the #Dodgers. That's a big addition to the bullpen. Good move.

 

I like it. Nice to have surplus arms. It's a long season.

So if he is on the big league roster, I wonder who is the odd man out.

Hope Veal is shown the door.

Guerra closed for the Dodgers in 2011.

 

He could be the closer if Jones doesn't do the job.

Hope Veal is shown the door.

 

I can't imagine the Sox go with just one lefty, especially since Downs has looked pretty shaky.

 

The bullpen is definitely a weakness, or at least a concern, going into opening day.

With the way some of the other relievers looked this comes as no surprise.

He's got some pretty bad control problems.

Hope Veal is shown the door.

Me too. He's a righty though. So unless they feel the same way I do and don't give a crap how many lefties we have in the pen this year, I bet not.

Anybody know more about what happened to him last year and how he ended up slipping through the whole NL on waivers?

Most likely Webb. He could probably use more time in AAA anyway, he ascended quickly.

I am glad that Beckham is still with the Sox. I think this could be his breakout year. As far as a 2011 success story pitcher being claimed off waivers is not that big of a deal to me. However, I hope he can contribute to a winning Sox year

I don't know why the NL passed on him. But he did struggles last year but only got 10 2/3 innings at the MLB level. 2 years before that he had ERAs under 2.60.

 

Fell out of favor because they signed everybody in the bullpen like Wilson, Howell and pushed starters into the pen.

Especially since it appears that the main use for the pen is to try to develop tradeable assets.

I feel like we hear this every year..

I suppose it has something to do with this:

Maybe they just thought his 2013 results were an accurate representation of his health.
