soxman352000 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I was on the Charlotte Knights site and it stated that Courtney Duncan has 2.30 ERA down there. Since the roster is expanding is there any chance he can be brought up just to see what he can do? I know he sucked in the past and granted it is AAA, but hey the season is done so lets get him up and see if there is any fuel left in that old tank.

Heads22 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Not on the 40 man. Baj deserves the call before him, IMHO. On another note....I don't believe that Valdez is being called up til the road trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 Baj deserves the call before him, IMHO. Oh yeah I agree 100% he has wicked ERA of like 1.80 right. Can they bring both of them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 They almost have to call someone else up with Pollitte and Mike Jackson both gone from the right side of the mound. Make it Baj!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it Baj!!!! As much as I'd like to see Baj up, it seems that the organization is going to wait until the AFL for him to see guys with loads of talent, aside from those who he's already seen. I do expect him to compete for a BP job next year in ST though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to add someone with Diaz and Grilli starting all of these games and they are at a net loss of one bullpen arm (minus Cliff and Jackson, plus Munoz) they are going to need guys to suck up these innings. Who else is going to do it? We can't keep having Damaso and Shingo go more innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotts has actually been more effective against righties than lefties. Neither have been used all that much, and it looks like they're being used more in August. Both pitched over 15 Innings in August, season highs for both in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any work these two get is good work at this point. Let them mature into the pitcher's they will become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have got no problem with those two getting some work. They haven't been worked that hard this year. But I still think we need at least one more arm in that pen with all of the extra innings the pen will be throwing during this last month of the season.

I'm just not sure who to bring up. Guess that's why I'm not GM, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Socks Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 They have to consider the 40 mman roster. I don't know the current number anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 They have to consider the 40 mman roster. I don't know the current number anymore. It is at 39, but both maggs and frank could go on the 60 day DL to open up two more spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 If we just need someone to call up and eat some innings...what about Eduardo Villacis? I know that we claimed him off waivers from KC earlier this year, and that he really is not a big time prospect...but it could not cost the team an option, and he'd just be an extra arm if we needed it.
