santo=dorf Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Roster removal: With the recent moves that took the White Sox to 40 men on the roster, Williams informed Dan Wright that the team had to let him go. The right-handed pitcher currently is in the midst of a long rehabilitation process stemming from Tommy John surgery performed on his right elbow on June 1 by Dr. James Andrews. Wright was the team's original fifth starter in 2004 and finished 0-4 with an 8.15 earned run average in four starts. He was sent back to Class AAA Charlotte on May 1 and was shut down after two starts. Williams hopes a healthy Wright catches on with another team. "Once you put on our uniform, you are a part of the White Sox family," Williams said. "He and his wife, Robin, are great people, and I wish the best for them." http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...s_cws&fext=.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthraxFan93 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Man I figured Kenny would make the same mistake as last year, and give him the 5th spot. :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickman Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 if we are relying on this guy rehabing to be our closer someday, then we blow. Great we cut ties, now we can move on to younger and better talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDsDirtySox Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Best of Luck to Danny. I just don't see how we could tie up a spot on the 40 man with him at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Well that could mean a move is coming now... had to open a spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Well that could mean a move is coming now... had to open a spot. Not really. You figure it's gonna be Lee/Konerko and Garland for whomever. So that would open a spot as well. I'm sure Rex could shed some light on this, but it might be for a rule 5 draftee.

elrockinMT Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Kenny (I have a heart) Williams states, "Once you put on the uniform you are a part of the Sox family.We wish you the best of luck." Then he opens the door and kicks you in the ass and out flat on your face. Danny probably would never had made it back just like Parque or Sirotka, but at least be honest about your feelings.

greg775 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Great post, el rockin. I thought the same thing. I wish we'd get a new GM. Say what you want about Kenny, he's no Ron Schuler. Wright is another of those baseball players who at one point probably thought he'd be a zillionaire but it didn't work out. I feel sorry for him. Sounds like he's done.

CWSGuy406 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Best of luck, Danny! I'm definitely dissappointed that we couldn't convert Danny to the bullpen earlier, he had some electric stuff when he first came up with the team. Unfortunately, I bet that took a toll on his arm. I hope he catches on somewhere else, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says he's not being honest about what he feels about Dan Wright? He drafted him, helped get him signed, gave him a chance in the major leagues. Doesn't make sense that he's lying about liking him as a person. It's a business, and he's being paid to make decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fricken baseball move, what don't you understand?? He probably feels bad about having to get rid of him but it's a move he had to make. Kind of the like the Freddy trade, it was hard for him to get rid of Olivo but he did because we got Freddy. Yeesh...some people will try everything to grill kenny.

I don't mind people criticizing a GM, but when he has to release a guy and goes out of his way to say nice things about him and his wife ... and then gets roasted for supposedly not being honest ... well, that's a little much.

Texsox Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Nice guy, loyal, worked hard. Greedy bastard owners cutting him while he's injured. What happened to loyalty? I sure hope players don't start acting like the owners. Alomar, Kelly, and now Danny. :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Sorry, if I got under your skins people. Well actually I am not that sorry, but we all have our opinions about baseball management, players unions and even KW in particular. It's a business for certain and our management plays it as well as anyone does. I know I for one am getting tired of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
