Milkman delivers Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Wow, talk about giving a guy a chance. I'm sure Humber, Lillibridge, Teahen, and any number of other terrible relievers will get ample opportunities to piss and s*** all over themselves without being DFA'd. Faith dwindling even more.

I thought he was doing an imitation of Soriano out in LF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only redeeming quality on the basepaths is that he is fast. I hope he doesn't cost us too many more outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatnom Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 10:06 AM) We have to have at least one back up OF who can actually catch the ball. Seeing as Teahen isn't going anywhere, it has to be Milledge. Plus no one else can play CF. I'm pretty sure Lillibridge can, and after what apparently happened with Milledge in the field... I don't really know if you want him in center. I haven't yet had a chance to watch a game, so I'm not entirely sure myself. Still don't like the move.

LittleHurt05 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 So can we expect anything out of Jeff Gray? Better or worse than Senor Pena? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Probably worse, DVS mentinos Ozzie really liked Milli, makin it seem like it wasn't his decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably going to suck. This is based on the facts that he's from our system and that he will now pitch in our bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 This really sucks. I had high hopes for Milledge in a White Sox uniform. I love stories of redemption and I love when people prove all of the doubters wrong. Getting DFAd means that the other 29 teams will get a crack at him, right? I hope he comes back. If not, then good luck and I hope he mashes wherever he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I just really don't get this from a baseball perspective. The White Sox of the past 3-4 seasons have historically stunk against left-handers. Lastings had a .926 OPS against them last season, with a near .800 career mark in 500 at bats vs lefties. He was exactly what this team has craved and needed for quite some time off the bench, a lefty killer who can sub in in the outfield and at DH. It's just quite silly to release him in order to keep Brent freaking Lillibridge. OR all-in and sack up and release Teahen's worthless ass.

The only way he is in the game is if we are losing by a ton or up by a ton or out of pitchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 QUOTE (YASNY @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 09:56 AM) 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. I'm guessing it is a comination of Milledge having an option, most likely to not be claimed, doesn't play CF, isn't the best speedster, and we really need another pitcher.

NO WAY he makes through waivers. I'm already seeing all kinds of fans happy as hell hoping that their teams pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to see the play on the field and the correct decisions made by the front office and managing staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
