JPN366 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Maybe Justin Cassel's ready to come off the DL if Egbert goes up. Or maybe that's a spot for Jayson Nix. His rehab assignment only runs through tomorrow's game, and that is an 11AM game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Man, a little overdue. Showed occasional signs that he might put it together every now and then, but never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 According to MLB Trade Rumors, Egbert is being called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm sure he'll be picked up by someone else due to his talent, but unless his head takes a complete 180 it will be another team that he teases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 12:56 PM) I'm sure he'll be picked up by someone else due to his talent, but unless his head takes a complete 180 it will be another team that he teases He'll easily clear waivers, whether the Sox want to bother sending him back to Charlotte or not is another matter. I would imagine they have had enough and the Mike MacDougal era with the White Sox is ova.(Although you would wonder why they would DFA him instead of just releasing him if that were the case unless maybe they think they can throw him into a potential trade to offset costs) Its too bad because he has a ton of talent. Some guys just can't be fixed. Edited April 21, 2009 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Egbert really seemed to make an impression this spring. You really didnt hear his name at all, despite his numbers, and now he is the first call up. Hopefully he can do a solid job in the middle and as a long man.

Some guys just can't be fixed. Perhaps they're hoping a desperate team such as the Nationals will take a chance on him getting his s*** together for a couple months in a new environment, I doubt it'll happen but I suppose it's worth a s*** given the $3M hit they'll take if he's released.

Just keep the ball down and throw strikes that's all I ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCSox Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 11:15 AM) Here's photographic evidence of MacDougal leaving town. That only downside to this move is that I can no longer yell "MAC-DOUGAL!" in a thick Scottish accent when he trots in from the 'pen.
