Butter Parque Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 This is one of the toughest questions of the year. I'm starting to think about cutting Kelly Wunsch. He is getting hurt every year. I probably should have put Dan Wright and Shingo Takatsu on there as well. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I would bet the Sox are looking to maybe trade Wunsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 In a very tough decesion... If Kelly isn't traded, I send Neal down, and stretch him out to take the 5th starters spot. Have him mirror Wright, and when Ozzie thinks he has had enough, call up Neal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I'm starting to think about cutting Kelly Wunsch. This will never happen, he's got a guaranteed contract worth $800,000. Therefore, cutting him would mean the Sox eat all of that and get nothing in return, which they won't do. Expect Adkins to get sent down, even though he's pitched well enough to stay on the team.

SuperSteve Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I would bet the Sox are looking to maybe trade Wunsch. I recall some mention of Wunsch going to Boston for Mark Bellhorn...I would imagine this would wait atleast until Nomar gets back because Pokey moved to SS and Mark at 2B. I think we will deal Kelly to someone, I can see it being for a utility guy. If he does get recalled...then Neil will be the one who goes down. Adkins has earned his spot. No way Koch goes down...$6 million for a minor leaguer is not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on how Danny Wright does in his next start...If he struggles or gets lit up again, he could be going down with Cotts staying and entering the rotation...

That is a good point. I just do not see Kelly and Neil both in the bullpen. I think we are bound to make a deal involving some of our pitching soon. IMHO.

I would agree, but if Danny Wright doesn't get it together soon, I think Cotts gets a spot in the rotation with either Wright or Adkins being the casualty being sent down to AAA if indeed we keep Wunsch.

Soxbadger Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Possibly send down Cotts and start stretching him out so if we need him to take the 5th spot in the rotation hes ready. SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be Good Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 We should said down Adkins, though either way a very tough decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I said Adkins even though he doesn't deserve to be sent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I said Adkins even though he doesn't deserve to be sent down. ditto, adkins has pitched well, but he just doesn't fit in this bullpen right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I'd like for Wunsch to get released, but Adkins will get sent down. He hasn't pitched much which has me thinking they are going to send him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 im really not sure about this. I like wunsch, adkins and cotts... i think cotts should get sent down cuz he still has a chance to be a great starting pitcher... and he needs to start some in minor league ball if he's going to up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Yeah, I heard trade talks about Wunsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSF Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I think it's gonna be Cotts. Just so he can go back down and join the Charlotte rotation to build up endurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 In a very tough decesion... If Kelly isn't traded, I send Neal down, and stretch him out to take the 5th starters spot. Have him mirror Wright, and when Ozzie thinks he has had enough, call up Neal. This scenario makes the most sense, imho.

C.Rector Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Adkins has been solid while Cotts has been having problems as of late. Jackson has said that if he's sent to the minors, he'll quit. Solution: Keep Adkins, Jackson and Wunch on the team and send Cotts to AAA to fix his walk problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution: Keep Adkins, Jackson and Wunch on the team and send Cotts to AAA to fix his walk problem. He hasn't given up any runs in 4 1/3 IP of limited work so far this year. I wish all of our pitchers were having these problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Afta last night's game, I'll say Cotts. I just don't think he's over his walk problems yet. If he goes to Charlotte, Kohleimer would prob move to da pen, and u would hav a 5 man rotation of Cotts, Rauch, Diaz, Grilli and Stewart.

EvilJester99 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I am wondering if Wright goes back to the pen if the Sox wouldn't bring Grilli up to be a starter instead of using Cotts. I don't think I would like that as much as having Cotts starting but I can see the Sox doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
