August 8, 201411 yr Author Micah Johnson 1-1 2B (Got picked off at third) Avi shows no signs of slowing down 1-1
August 8, 201411 yr Jared Mitchell K'ed again for Charlotte. Guess he's back up. 2/16 on the homestand, 0/2 today. http://www.milb.com/content/page.jsp?ymd=2...&vkey=team3 White Sox need their own Dance Team (who were those girls before, the Chevy t-shirt ones?)...Charlotte Knightengales
August 8, 201411 yr Garcia with his 2nd double. 13/25.... .520 Please release DeAza and bring him back so there can be a reason to watch the White Sox again. And no-doubt homer #28 for Andy Wilkins. Brad Eldred had 35, 7 to go to catch him. Edited August 8, 201411 yr by caulfield12
August 8, 201411 yr Jarrett Casey doing an admirable job at pursuing the worst zero point something ERA ever
August 8, 201411 yr Micah got caught stealing home. Avi was replaced in RF after 3 ABs. Not sure if that was be design or not.
August 8, 201411 yr Avi came out of the game. Gonna go ahead and assume he took a fastball to the head and is dead. RIP.
August 8, 201411 yr Davidson almost hit a homer, then hit a double over the bag down the 3B line. 3 hits today, Wilkins has 2 (another homer, of course). Mitchell's rebounded to have a pretty good game, although his throwing from the OF can use a ton of work.
August 8, 201411 yr Avi for De Aza or Viciedo or Sierra Wilkins for Dunn Any two of Semien, Sanchez and Johnson for Beckham and Leury Should have been watching this for a week already now. Make it change soon, RH.

Make it change soon, RH. They're not going to waive or send down Viciedo. They are much more likely to do that (DFA) with DeAza, IMO. Or simply send down Sierra until September. DeAza HAS to be living on borrowed time, one would think.

Beckham, Leury, De Aza and Dunn should all have seen their last PA's in Sox uni, is the gist of it. These are opportunities wasted, and it's making a poor midseason for the rebuild (so far) worse.

These are opportunities wasted, and it's making a poor midseason for the rebuild (so far) worse. Leury's spot is irrelevant unless it would have been Saladino, as those guys in AAA (Micah, Marcus and Carlos Sanchez) need to be getting regular at-bats and wouldn't even if they were promoted. Whether Marcus or Carlos could benefit from sitting on the bench again, that's arguable. They wouldn't do it with Semien, so it's really do you want Carlos Sanchez to be playing 1-2 times per week instead of Leury Garcia?
August 8, 201411 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) DeAza HAS to be living on borrowed time, one would think. De Aza's batting .283 with a .765 OPS against righties on the season. You would think some NL team could use that platoon bat.
August 8, 201411 yr QUOTE (Vance Law @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 02:50 PM) De Aza's batting .283 with a .765 OPS against righties on the season. You would think some NL team could use that platoon bat. If he was VERY GOOD defensively, but he's not. Otherwise, I'd want a guy with an 800+ split against righties for a platoon partner. He also doesn't steal nearly as much as he used to...although part of that's due to his position in the batting order.

I think that's how the Sox got him from TOR to begin with. I hope it's De Aza.

They wouldn't do it with Semien, so it's really do you want Carlos Sanchez to be playing 1-2 times per week instead of Leury Garcia? Add in platooning with Gillaspie, giving Lexi a day off here and there, and a few looks in the OF for Marcus, and there's plenty of AB's for both him and either Sanchez or Johnson IF Beckham AND Leury are removed from the equation as they already should have been. If Leury's ever going to be a legit major leaguer of any sort, he needs the regular AB's the most anyway, and he can get them in Charlotte. Edited August 8, 201411 yr by Stan Bahnsen

It's a risk, another team COULD claim him. Maybe a 75% chance he makes it through without being claimed. He does have a 766 OPS with the Sox, so there's that. All things considered, I would definitely DFA DeAza if I couldn't find anyone to claim his contract or willing to trade for him...regardless of the return, just trying to save $1-1.5 million or whatever.

August 9, 201411 yr I guess everyone is watching the Bears but Frankie Montas apparently started the AZL Sox game.
