ChiSox_Sonix Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Offensively, the Sox are in need of a quality lefty bat in the top of the order. Val will not get it done up top. With Harris swinging a good bat recently, having a good average hitter like Reed could really help set the table for Maggs and Thomas and would allow us to move Val down to around 6 to break up the right handed bats. Rowand hasnt been exactly stellar this year and Reed has got to be on the management's minds. So, let's play a game: When does Reed make his debut?

kapkomet Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 September 1st. So are you imlying that the Sox'll be out of it by then? You commie bastard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 So are you imlying that the Sox'll be out of it by then? You commie bastard! Not at all. I think the Sox will be in it to the end, and Reed won't be up until September after the Charlotte season is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

September Callups are big fun.... However if youre team is making a huge amount of callups it usually means all is lost and youre playin for next year!

Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 August 1st, after the trading deadline. Somebody goes, for pitching, and here comes Jeremy Reed to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 My guess is the Sox leave Reed at Charlotte for more experience. He comes up when the rosters are expanded in September. They will make a trade for a CF'er before bringing someone up from the minors. But, my guess is Rowand stays in CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSox30 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Rowand struggles, Valentin struggles as the lefty...Reed is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I say before June 1st and as early as May 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Sometime in June. Someone will get hurt or someone will be traded, and he will be called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 My guess is June 21st, right in time for the long homestand. They'll know what they need to know on Rowand by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsSuck1 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hoefully, we wont NEED to bring him up until September. That being said, probably the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POPPY_HIDALGO Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Jeremy Reed = The next Joe Borchard I really wish this farm system had something other then outfield prospects. And I don't want to hear about Grilli or Diaz either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POPPY_HIDALGO Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I am interested in seeing Diaz get the call and hopefully pitch this weekend. I wish they were planning on pitching Diaz in this Baltimore series. An extra day off wouldn't hurt any of the starters and I think throwing him in against our biggest divisional rival is a tough task for a youngster. Especially in his first time out.

And I don't want to hear about Grilli or Diaz either. How is Jeremy Reed anything like Joe Borchard, Reed continues to hit and he hasn't done anything but hit since the sox drafted him. Borchard had one good year and down hill from there. Also Borchard is a power hitter with a long swing, I really haven't seen Reed play that much but he's more of a contact guy right now that doesn't strike out a lot.

POPPY_HIDALGO Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Reed = Lots of hype Like Borchard the expectations will be too high and he'll get called up before he's ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I agree with JimH. June 21st seems like the perfect time to call him up. That is if Rowand keeps struggling. If he gets it together then a September call up is in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
