June 14, 201411 yr Another assignment for Coop: Henry Rodriguez on his way to a minor-league affiliate. Walked five in 1 2/3 for the Marlins on Thursday. signed by the Sox on Friday. He's walked 20 in his last 22 innings of MLB pitching. Best of luck, Coop and Richard Dotson. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/...eague-contract/
June 14, 201411 yr I remember last year when he was waived and people were so pissed that the Cubs claimed him instead of the White Sox. That worked out well.

Best of luck, Coop and Richard Dotson. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/...eague-contract/ Whatever the Sox do, don't bring him up until you solve the control thing. One or two games of walking 3 guys in a row and he'll be released. Get the problem solved then give him a look.
June 14, 201411 yr I got flamed here for suggesting we pick him up the last time he was waived for free. I guess now we'll see if there was ever any hope.

This guy gets waived about as much as Flowers strikes out. Which time did you suggest he get picked up? In 27 combined innings in the minors and majors this year he has walked 43 and had 14 WP. I have a feeling the White Sox will be releasing him at some point. Edited June 14, 201411 yr by Dick Allen

It was last year about this time, I think. I just thought that he fit the profile of what Coop was good at fixing -- huge arm, doesn't know where it's going. Not likely to work out, but I wanted them to give it a try.
June 15, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) Yes. Caulfied sets him up for the rimshot, here's the pass to DA... (swishhhh) ...nothing but net.

Yeah if it's Charlotte who cares, let him walk the world over there. He throws the ball a zillion miles an hour, just too often its in one of the batters boxes, or at a peanut vendor somewhere, etc. That Charlotte pen though might be one of the most talented and yet least effective bullpens in all of MiLB.
June 15, 201411 yr BTW anyone know if the Sox emply any sports psychologists? Like roving guys that would work as coordinators do I guess? If so there are a ton of guys to help, if not, they need to hire someone. They can foot the bill. There's about 10-15 players I could probably list right now that need a ton of help, starting with Rodriguez, Cleto, Boggs, Paulino, Erik Johnson, the OF prospect s***fest, Davidson, etc.
June 16, 201411 yr http://www.freep.com/article/20140616/COL0...gers-joe-nathan An article on bullpens, how s--- always happens (Joel Zumaya and Rondon injuries), and basically how hard they are to forecast/predict/control.

June 19, 201411 yr Daniel Bard was just released by the Rangers, wonder if he might be the next man in for bullpen bingo.

June 19, 201411 yr @SouthSideSox: Seriously, Daniel Bard's line: 18 batters faced over two-thirds of an inning, 9 BB, 7 HBP, 175.50 ERA.

June 19, 201411 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 11:43 AM) Well it's an improvement over Boggs Bard's line also occurred in the Sally league. A ball for those scoring at home. I think he's reached the point where he needs to find another line of work.
