RibbieRubarb Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I meant: "SOX sign RELIEVER Vic Darensbourg" I need to stop typing with boxing gloves LATEST NEWS - January 17 - Previous News White Sox signed LHP Vic Darensbourg to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. Darensbourg allowed eight earned runs in nine innings while pitching for the Rockies and Expos last season. He has very little chance of making the White Sox. Damaso Marte and Kelly Wunsch will the team's two lefty relievers, and if one of the gets hurt, Arnaldo Munoz would be the top candidate to step in. from Rotoworld.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Vic is lighting up the Dominican League with a 1.93 era in a little over 4 innings. Darensbourg, Vic 0- 0 1.93 5 0 0 0 0 4.2 2 1 1 0 1 0 4 0 .000 I'm glad he's doing well down there, but I don't really care what they do somewhere else, cause it's not the majors, and the hitters are more disapline here as far as batting eye. He still seems that he is working hard to get that bullpen job in our bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierSox Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Another lefty in case Wunsch gets hurt like last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Another lefty in case Wunsch gets hurt like last year. You know that THEY say, "you can never have enough pitching and left handed pitching to be exact." Just hope he doesn't continue to give up a run an inning. Any sign he is working hard and improving is good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Barring a trade and some injuries, he'll fill in at Charlotte, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Vic Darensbourg Signs a Minor League Contract By Jason Gage FutureSox.com A few days after inking Robert Person to a minor league deal, the Sox jumped right back into the scrap heap hoping to find another sleeper and signed Vic Darensbourg to a minor league deal. Darensbourg, 33, appeared in 9 games with the Montreal Expos and Colorado Rockies last season. Darensbourg struggled and posted an 8.00 ERA last season. During the early stages of his career, Darensbourg appeared in no less than 56 games during four consecutive seasons with the Marlins while putting up solid numbers. His last respectable season came in 2001, when he went 1-2 with a 4.25 ERA in 58 games for the Florida Marlins. Darensbourg's most likely destination will be Charlotte, with Kelly Wunsch and Damaso Marte locked in as the two lefties in the White Sox bullpen. Darensburg will likely compete for the final slot in the Charlotte pen. Dave Sanders and Arnie Munoz will be the favorites from the left-hand side, with Matt Ginter, Jon Rauch, and Jason Grilli as the favorites from the right.

Loaiza21 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I dunno, seems like we're picking out cheap guys who are having good seasons in winter ball. Can't be a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred3535 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Those numbers are kind of misleading. He had two really bad outings but was ok for the rest. I doubt he'll make the team, but he is a good backup plan if someone gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastime Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Kenny is just trying to find lightning in a bottle anywhere he can. It's sad that it comes to that, but it is what it is.

southsider2k5 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 The more LHPing the better. You never know if Munoz will struggle through spring or not, and plus Wunsch seems to have injury problems at least once a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
