aboz56 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 From The Chicago Tribune: Left-hander Kelly Wunsch, serving a rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte, appears to be the odd man out of the Sox bullpen for now. "He's going to be eligible to come back pretty quick," Williams said. "But since he just got back on the mound, he is probably going to have to spend the whole 30 days down there. After that, we will have to see where we are. The bullpen is really shaping up to where we think it is really going to be a plus on this club. "If we can get Billy [Koch] back to being the old Billy, or even close to being the old Billy, we will be even that much better. Right now there isn't a spot for [Wunsch]. That's the way it goes sometimes." … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 And I totally agree with him. Who should he replace? To a man, every guy in that pen has been doing his job. Even Koch has only had one bad game, just like Marte and Takatsu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 He's only made 3 appearances with Charlotte as well, definitely needs more time down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDylan Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I think it's more related to the fact that KW is trying to get rid of him. He dodged a trade earlier this season and I assume KW is pissed about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I agree, every single guy out there in our bullpen has done his job, well.......even koch lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Socks Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 You, know, there is no law against keeping Kelly at Charlotte all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 When it comes to Kelly, I'm afraid the phrase "He Gawn!" is appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan420 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 i dont understand why last year right handers only hit .153 against him and leftys only hit .127 thats damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 i dont understand why last year right handers only hit .153 against him and leftys only hit .127 thats damn good. I believe Wunsch said or did something in spring training that pissed Kenny Williams off. I am thinking that Kelly was the player that Williams was referring to when it was said that someone who thinks they are on the team better pick it up or they may be surprised. I don't remember the exact quote, but it was along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
