witesoxfan Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 08:53 AM) Don't we usually see a separate thread in the important topics section when a prospect is called up such as Threets ? Threets is not a prospect. He's a 28 year old left handed reliever who has bounced around the minors for a good amount of time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 28 year old left handed reliever who has bounced around the minors for a good amount of time now. Still, he's never been up with the Sox before and with his great minor league numbers perhaps a bit of an introduction is needed for those with less knowledge of the Sox minor league system.

He's a guy who throws very hard, one of the few lefties in baseball who can match speed with Thornton. But he's had control issues and injuries. He's seen the majors for brief stints multiple times. Seems like maybe a good "project" for Coop, in the way that Thornton was. Lots of potential there, but a low probability of ultimate success.

Plus Coop believed that Williams was more suited for the long relief role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Soxfan Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I woke up this morning hoping to see the White Sox in the transactions and that Williams was gone, but not yet........alas, I can continue to hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
