ChiSox59 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Why? Both suck. Have nearly identical AAA stats in SSS. Infante better MLB stats is SSS. Only reason I could think of is Minaya in 3 years younger and has a non-zero chance of being a part of the next Sox bullpen that matters, but just seems like a strange move to me.

Probably because Infante is most likely unavailable today, as is probably Beck and maybe Robertson, and since they are pretty much the same, it gives you another arm in the bullpen, since Ricky had a tough time with it yesterday.

Quin Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I keep reading Minaya to the power of Infante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same guy to get sent back down for Rodon's Wednesday start too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 With Putnam having TJS that takes care of the 40 man crunch, currently stands at 43 with 3 guys on the 60 day so someone had to be removed or moved to 60 day ahead of Rodon being activated.
