prochisox Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians have traded infielder Andy Cannizaro to the Chicago White Sox for cash considerations. The Indians announced Thursday that Cannizaro will be assigned to Charlotte, Chicago's Triple-A affiliate. He was batting .269 with one homer and 19 RBI in 50 games at Triple-A Columbus. Cannizaro, 30, was selected by the New York Yankees in the seventh round of the 2001 draft. He has also played with the Tampa Bay organization. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/12061291/rss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) This guy doesnt look worthless with the bat. Can take a walk apparently. Judging from his career minor league #s, he looks like a guy who couldnt get out of AA at a decent age but then began hitting at AAA after the age of 27. Hasnt really had an ML chance Edited August 13, 2009 by Princess Dye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 White Sox Acquire Andy Cannizaro From Indians By Jason Gage SoxNet No word on what the Sox plans are for Cannizaro, but I ultimately believe this move had more to do with AAA than the majors. The conspiracy theorist out there may think Cannizaro was acquired to replace Getz (who'd go on the DL), but even if Getz injury was more serious than we've been told (leading to the DL), the Sox would first turn to Brent Lillibridge.

Ugh, I hope not. He wouldn't start. He'd be a depth option who can play plus defense at multiple positions. Is it a great option, no, but is he better than Cannizaro, absolutely.

Princess Dye Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Lillibridge would actually give us a true speedster at PR. Wise is ok but not great. It's actually a difference making aspect BL would bring to our Central race in September Edited August 13, 2009 by Princess Dye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 11:43 AM) What is the injury with Getz? Sounded minor but I thought I heard Hawk/DJ say he had a sore side or something along those lines and it was why he wasn't in the lineup last night. They mentioned it around the 13th inning.
