Kyyle23 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:18 AM) I want Fuentes bad and it looks like the Rockies want to deal him.

RockRaines Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 "According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the White Sox may demote struggling relievers Mike MacDougal and David Aardsma to Triple-A. Meanwhile, the Chicago Tribune suggests that Nick Masset could be headed to the minors as well. The Sun-Times reports that Bret Prinz and Ryan Bukvich would be the leading candidates to replace them in the bullpen. The White Sox are said to be trying to trade MacDougal, who has a 7.13 ERA" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hopefully we can package MacDougal with someone for something good. Even though he has been piss poor this season, Mac still has a live arm... the problem is getting his pitches over constantly. The Phillies would probably be a good candidate to try and land him...

Failed starters? If I'm giving up a package of players... its NOT for a reliever. Mostly. Just look at our pen. Jenks, Thornton, MacDougal, Aardsma, and Massett all started at some point in their professional careers. However, a lot of the top relievers are usually people who specialized in relief pitching. Like Houston Street or now Joe Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 All I can say is I am glad that we Soxtalk posters aren't the GM. There will be changes starting tday and they are needed in the relief corp, but then all of sudden half our team is gone to second division also rans for players with their own problems. I have listened to some interest in Chicago Sun-Times reports of Dye for Abreu and then McDougal or Logan or Thornton (plus a minor league player) for Rowand. You trade from your supposed strengths to fill perceived needs. But, who wants McDougal with an era over 7? Plus if e is hurt maybe time in the minors or on the DL might be better and we keep talent.

MacDougal had the groin tweak and that may be part of this, but my sense is the issue is deeper. They may be frustrated with him because they have been on him to trust his stuff more and it appears he does not heed the advice of the coaches. His ball moves a ton. However he nibbles all the time. Not good. That leads to walks and its the walks that frustrate the youknowwhat out of Guillen and Cooper. The Toronto debacle was the last straw and of course Mac is a vet and is not thrilled about going to AAA, so I tend to believe that they are seeing what they can get for him. I would bet the Brewers would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 FROM WWW.Chisox.Com CHICAGO -- Following yesterday's game at Toronto, the Chicago White Sox optioned right-handed pitcher David Aardsma to Class AAA Charlotte. Prior to tonight's game vs. the New York Yankees, the White Sox optioned pitcher Mike MacDougal to Charlotte, purchased the contracts pitchers Ryan Bukvich and Bret Prinz from Charlotte and transferred infielder/outfielder Pablo Ozuna from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Aardsma, 25, has gone 2-1 with a 6.18 ERA (19 ER/27.2 IP) and 32 strikeouts in 22 relief appearances this season, his first with the White Sox. After going 2-0 with a 1.72 ERA (3 ER/15.2 IP) and 23 strikeouts in April, he went 0-1 with a 12.00 ERA (16 ER/12.0 IP) and nine strikeouts in 11 games combined in May and June. MacDougal, 30, is 1-3 with a 7.13 ERA (14 ER/17.2 IP) and 18 walks in 27 relief appearances this season. He allowed 22 hits and 17 walks with 11 holds. MacDougal compiled a 2.89 ERA (3 ER/9.1 IP) in April but gave up 11 earned runs over 8.1 IP in May and June (11.89 ERA). Bukvich, 29, was 1-3 with nine saves, a 2.89 ERA (9 ER/28.0 IP), and 32 strikeouts in 23 appearances with Charlotte. A native of Naperville, Ill., the 6-foot-2, 250 pound Bukvich has pitched in 48 major-league games with Kansas City (2002-04) and Texas (2005), going 2-0 with a 6.94 ERA (36 ER/46.2 IP) and 39 strikeouts. Prinz, who turns 30 on June 15, went 0-1 with a 0.56 ERA (1 ER/16.0 IP) and 16 strikeouts in 15 outings with the Knights. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound native of Chicago Heights, Ill. limited opponents to a .179 (10-56) average. Prinz has appeared in 98 major-league games over five seasons with Arizona (2001-03), the Yankees (2003-04) and Dodgers (2005), going 5-4 with nine saves and a 4.77 ERA (47 ER/88.2 IP). His best season came as a rookie in 2001 when he was 4-1 with a 2.63 ERA (12 ER/41.0 IP) and ranked second on the team with nine saves as the Diamondbacks won the World Series. Ozuna was placed on the disabled list on May 28 with a fractured right fibula and torn deltoid ligament. With the moves, the White Sox 40-man roster is at 40.

I dunno dealing for relief pitches that dont really have live arms that play in the NL and then come to the AL yeah they get lit up. The Francisco Cordero trade looks pretty good for the brewers, bob wickman for the braves. I agree though the best way to get a lights out closer is to make one, like the red sox did with papelbon. I think a great closer/set up guy would be Rafael Soriano of the braves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
