Downs has 1.2 IP 3 ER 4 BB....I'll give him a little more time

 

Well yeah.

Is Jeff Nelson available?

Does this mean we can now trade for Carl Everett again? Cause I'm all about that.

Bobby Jenks, please pick up the courtesy phone.

Man... the Charlotte Knights are going to be tough to beat this year.

Well yeah.

To be fair, part of the reason he has 1.2 IP is because he can't get outs. EDIT: He has played in 5 games. Obviously that's still not enough to make a determination. But 1.2 IP in 5 appearances is pretty dreadful no matter what his ERA is.

I know this is meant tongue in cheek, but I honestly kind of expected the Sox to make the team like that. First of all, the Sox were expected to rebuild and you want as many talented players as possible on that team in the event they get a call up. However, the main reason I thought that was was because Charlotte opened a new park this year and they might want the team to compete this year.

Kind of a favor or "kickback" of sorts to the Knights organization for a long and fruitful partnership with the White Sox.

 

Having a winning team is less important than a nice stadium and creative promotions (at the minor league level) as well as affordable pricing, but it definitely helps to have either some top prospects OR a playoff-caliber team.

Downs hasn't been able to get anyone out. Veal isn't good.

Maybe Coop can fix em? And then again maybe not

There's nothing wrong with having a really good, competitive AAA team. If you have a legit prospect or two down there, they'll get to experience a playoff push and pressure situations at a professional level.

RHP Frank Francisco is headed to AAA Charlotte after a stint in extended spring training. Sox had signed him to minor league deal April 14.

I just now went through Francisco's wiki. Seems like he will be a nightmare for the sox, dude is all over the place with his anger issues and on the field results

Frank Francisco and Al Alburquerque have that whole redundancy thing down pat

They're 6-13

Are they going to move Mitch Boggs, who got lit up again yesterday?

Perhaps. It's the minors though, they like his arm, and they want to see if he can work through these struggles. He's had success in the majors before and they are going to see if he can find it again. If he can't, it's not a big loss.

Hahn with the golden touch with these veterans this offseason

There is no need until someone is pushing for the roster spot.
