Jabroni Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-doug29.html FAMILY MATTER: Guillen confirmed that closer Dustin Hermanson's father has a medical condition that might force Hermanson to miss some time in the near future. ''He just warned me ... he doesn't know anything yet,'' Guillen said. ''To me, family is more important than baseball. Baseball does a lot of stuff for us, but one day baseball is going to go and our family is going to still be there.''

Milkman delivers Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Crap. Well, at least Dustin's OK. The first line of the title scared the hell out of me. Here's hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Josh Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 He should take his time coming back. Family is much more important than baseball. They still have Shingo who can close while Hermy is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 This sort of thing trumps the game of baseball. Here's hoping the Hermanson family pulls through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politte was bad as a closer in 2003 when Aquilno Lopez replaced him. He doesn't want to close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not screw with the kid just yet. He's had a fantastic time with the Barons, but let's not rush things. I think we are sitting on the closer of the future in Jenks and that is really something not worth tampering with. Perhaps Baj gets the call. His numbers deserve it.

Perhaps Baj gets the call. His numbers deserve it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Totally agree Baj should get the call first, but even still i don't think they'd throw a minor leaguer right into a closer spot. Ozzie will likely do it via situation ... Marte, Shingo, etc. Which is actually not a bad way to handle it when you're looking at 7 days max without Hermanson.

I mean, look at his numbers. On second though, just in case Kenny is contemplating bringing up the Doughboy... It's time to bring out the Jenks sig.

southsideirish71 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I wouldnt throw Dingo out as the closer just yet. Cliffy has been as tough as nails this year. That changeup that he developed has made him a new pitcher. That and of course getting strike one on every batter. He has the best stuff to fill in this role. My prayers are to you Dustin and your family in this difficult time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 If Politte doesn't like closing, we shouldn't try to make him a closer. We need to win the 8th inning as much as we need to win the 9th. The good news to me is that Hermanson has been used somewhat sparingly since about the time Thomas came back, so hopefully we won't miss too much of a beat with him gone. Best Wishes during this time, Hermy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
