MnSoxFan Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Wunsch activated at Charlotte, to replace Borchard probably. I see Ginter vs Diaz tonight there. Lubisich up to Birm, Murray down to W-S Dizard up to W-S Nicholson down to W-S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Sox Affiliates Make Numerous Changes By Jason Gage July 24, 2004 FutureSox.com The Chicago White Sox organization made a flurry of moves on Saturday. First and foremost, as FutureSox.com reported a few weeks ago, Kelly Wunsch was back on the comeback trail. He threw some side sessions and is now healthy and was activated from the disabled list. Wunsch will replace Joe Borchard, who was promoted to Chicago when Magglio Ordonez was placed on the disabled list yesterday. Wusnch struggled for the Sox this year, but has had plenty of success out of the bullpen in his major league career. With the Knights Wunsch is 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA in 12 games. Wunsch was 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA in three games with the White Sox on the year. Promotions: Left handed pitcher Frasier Dizard was promoted from Kannapolis to Winston Salem. Dizard pitched very well out of the Intimidators bullpen this season. He was 0-1 with a 2.83 ERA in 27 games for Kannapolis. He limited opponents to 38 hits in 47.2 innings. Dizard was drafted by the White Sox in the 10th round of the 2003 draft out of the University of Southern California. Dizard spent 2003 in Great Falls where he made 6 starts and 6 appearances out of the pen. Nik Lubisich was promoted from Winston Salem to Birmingham. Lubisich, a lefty, went 5-7 with a 4.35 ERA in 22 games for the Warthogs this year. Lubisich has also pitched as a starter in the organization and was drafted in the 31st round of the 2001 draft. Demotions: To make room for Lubisich, Brad Murray and Tommy Nicholson were sent down to Winston Salem from Birmingham. Murray was 0-4 with a 7.16 ERA in 10 games with the Barons. Murray was 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA in 26 games with the Warthogs earlier in the year. Tommy Nicholson, an infielder, hit .277 in 36 games with the Barons. Nicholson hit .229 in 26 games with the Warthogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Frasier Dizard has been just sick in Kanny. He deserves this promotion very much. He's got great stuff (I'm pretty sure he has a plus fastball and curv) and only fell to the 10th round of the draft b/c he had a bad year after his father was diagnosed with a brain toomer, IIRC.

danman31 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Also, Jake Whiteside (23, OF/IF) debuted for Kanny today. David Cook was sent to Great Falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Good to see Dizard earn a call - up, he's earned it, and the Warthogs could always use another good bullpen pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
