Cerbaho-WG Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 According to RotoWorld: White Sox optioned 2B/OF Willie Harris, OF Joe Borchard, LHP Mike Porzio and RHP Matt Ginter to Triple-A Charlotte and reassigned catcher Jamie Burke to minor league camp. Harris was supposed to make the team, but it looks like Aaron Miles has taken his job with an impressive spring. Ginter has the better argument for making the squad, as he's looked better than either Rick White or Gary Glover. Ginter should be the first pitcher called up by the team. Looks like we'll have three catcher when we go North. We know we'll have 11 pitchers, and the only spot in the air is Wright/Stewart. IF- Konerko, Thomas, Jimenez, Miles, Graffanino, Valentin, Crede C-Olivo, Alomar, Paul OF-Lee, Rowand, Ordonez, Rios, Daubach Last spot will come down to Miles or Paul. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CUT JOSH PAUL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I'm not sure they won't send Olivo down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Miles or Paul - and Miles hitting has tailed off - I bet we keep Paul, just my hunch - not saying I am for or against, just my hunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I think we'll only carry 2 catchers and Olivo will be sent down unless something happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreye Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 What has Josh Paul done to stay with the team. Just being healthy is not enough for me. Drop him. Trade him. Do what you've got to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 From what KW said on the broadcast today, look for 3 catchers for at least a month or two. I don't know why you'd want 3 catchers when you've already said that Alomar will catch Buerhle and Colon. That means 2 catchers split the other 3 games - I don't get it...

Mr. Showtime Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 That means 2 catchers split the other 3 games - I don't get it... I think he's got a trade on the horizon. If he doesn't watch the f*** out. We'll see some massive tinkering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 It has to be a trade or the fact that he'd rather have Harris, Hummel and Miles playing every day in AAA and he can live with sitting Paul on the bench doing nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 or the fact that he'd rather have Harris, Hummel and Miles playing every day in AAA and he can live with sitting Paul on the bench doing nothing.

YASNY Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I'd have to be inclined to believe that they have a trade for Paul in the works, and any interested team would not pull the trigger in hopes the Sox would just release him. This 3 catcher situation cannot last all year. No way in hell. By May 1st we will need a 12th pitcher. BTW... I heard Danny Wright had some next day soreness after his 2 inning stint and Josh Stewart has been told to prepare to go againts the Kitties on April 6.

witesoxfan Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Why would we need 12 pitchers? Our rotation is good....our bullpen is good.....I see no reason. And an extra guy on the bench makes us a stronger offensive team, as long as that extra guy on the bench's name isn't Josh Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Well, I need to see Loiaza and Stewart/or/Wright prove ready before I am pleased with the starting rotation now. I like our chances, but I wish Wright was healthy. I'd like another starter in case (Finley/Reynolds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the schedule start piling up with few offdays, we may need a 12th pitcher. A lot depends on how many innings our starters eat up, and a lot depends on if JM will let them eat up innings.

Chisoxfn Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I'd take Bako or Miller as long as the Sox weren't giving up a top prospect. Give them Dellaero, we get a catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
