Reddy Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 as much as i like burke, this sucks... i dont want to be without Uribe/Ozuna very long - that could hurt, at least our flexibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I don't post here anymore, but Willie Harris was placed on the DL thus resulting in the call up of Jamie Burke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider17 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Maybe Burke can play 3rd, allowing Ozzie to put Crede back at SS (assuming Uribe is DL'ed)! NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Harris get hurt at some point? I thought he was the healthy one - the game he missed on Sunday was supposedly due to some sort of family issue, according to all the news reports.

Reddy Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Harris isnt on the DL, he's on bereavement leave... thats what frees up the space... this isnt anywhere near long-term, which is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChWRoCk2 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 i dont like jamie burke, why couldnt they bring up some other infielder, that would have been the smart thing, or BMAC to use in relief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 Willie was placed on the bereavement list and I was wrong. Uribe/Ozuna may be good to go today. Story on FS updated, also has updates on some minor league moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus its gonna only be for a couple days MAX, that'd be a waste of a callup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddy Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 beyond idiotic... it makes sense to call up a jamie burke when its only short term, because you dont wanna waste that call up on a potential star when he'll be sent down a DAY OR TWO later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
