Somewhere in that article you posted, they are saying Contreras might be called up and pitch one of the doubleheader games on Monday June 8th.

southsider2k5 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Interesting. I though we were OK at catcher, and Broadway was doing what we needed as the last pitcher on the roster. I guess Castro helps if anything ever happens to AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Castro used to be a big prospect and can hit. So, he's an ugrade over the Corkaroo. Broadway was a constant reminder of organizational failure that needed to be purged. Edited May 30, 2009 by Thunderbolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 QUOTE (robinventura23 @ May 29, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) Whisler coming up On el radio Farmio said Corky kissed Coop on the head during the kiss cam segment. I guess he was kissing the Sox goodbye? Actually kind of sad to see Corky go. I liked the guy and hope he catches on in a back-up role somewhere.
