justBLAZE Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Jeff Grey up, Milledge DFA - per Gonzo Milledge designated for assignment; Gray contract purchased. More to come on whitesox.com - Scott Merkin also confirms. I guess my avatar is staying. Edited April 7, 2011 by justBLAZE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knackattack Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 That was quick. Probably bringing up another pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 I knew having both of them on the team and 6 RP was only a matter of time, just didn't think Milledge would be the one going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'm wondering if there is a story behind the story. I know he sucked in LF yesterday, but they watched him play all spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphat007 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) I knew having both of them on the team and 6 RP was only a matter of time, just didn't think Milledge would be the one going. If he can't play the outfield, then he is pretty useless. Of course, it's only two games, but man those were an ugly two games. Gray will likely be sent back down when JP is up next week.

fathom Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Simply put, we needed another reliever and Lastings was proving unreliable in the field. Boers and Bernstein mentioned his tenure wouldn't be long here, so who knows if he was in the doghouse for other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Ummm what? This is dumb. They are seriously going to take Lilli over Millidge? I guess the Battle of the Millibridge took an unfortunate turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as Teahen isn't going anywhere, it has to be Milledge. Plus no one else can play CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Zelig Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 So what is his status now? He can choose to accept a demotion or become a FA, is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can choose to accept a demotion or become a FA, is that right? I think all 29 teams have a chance to claim him, if they don't, then he gets the choice of accepting demotion or opting for FA.

Seriously, if this was true then there would be tons of players DFA'd. It had to be something more along of the lines of him screwing up inside the clubhouse, or Lillibridge holding Kenny's family hostage.

hogan873 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I would think there is probably more to the story. He was pretty brutal in the field, but he's a better hitter than Lillibridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty brutal in the field, but he's a better hitter than Lillibridge. Him being "brutal" in 2 games in the field were still better than Teahen has been at any position. It's amazing how much security Teahen has just because of that mother f'n contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
