Guest JimH Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) Chisoxfn Edited This Part of the Post: Montero was send back to Charlotte following the game, Nelson appears to have been promoted to Chicago It's on the main White Sox site, halfway down in the article about the Cora "biting" story. Sounds like it will happen tomorrow. http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/ar...t=.jsp&c_id=cws Edited May 23, 2006 by Chisoxfn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Sounds good. He'll probably get some mop-up work at first so we could see how he fairs against ML hitters then they will gradually work me into a set-up/middle relief role. Thornton has impressed me a lot.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 He's on the way, and I hope Sean Tracey isn't far behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been nothing short of flawless his last 5 outings or so. If he can consistently throw that slider for strikes -- we've got ourselves a stud.

Sox It To Em Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) Sounds like he will be called up soon. I hope he will prove to be a diamond in the rough. Edited May 23, 2006 by Sox It To Em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&T Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 "I know this, I've watched games, probably four to five games per day, including our game, and there still isn't a guy who has a better breaking ball in the league than Nelson has to get tough right-hand hitters out. He brings experience, as somebody that can go in the back part of the bullpen." I can't wait to see if this is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSF Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 No one has been recalled yet, but I guess all signs would point to Jeff Nelson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 great news hopefully his slider is able to fool righties as well as it has in the past. Welcome mister ROOGY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be really interesting to see how Logan reacts to the minors. Will he dissapear never to be seen again or will he regain the rhythm he had in spring training and gain much needed experience that could turn him into a quality reliever later this season or a year from now? I think we'll be able to find out pretty quickly (a month or so) whether he was just road a hot hand farther than pretty much anyone in major league history or if he actually created a career for himself when he changed his arm angle and he will actually continue to improve.

Balta1701 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Please Ozzie for God's sake don't let him pitch to any switch hitters or lefties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Glad to hear, Montero had no business up here. The way our bullpen has been its a win win situation. I know KW is good with talent so I hope he's right with the comment about Nelson. We need him badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
