Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) seems like that's 3 serviceable relievers we've lost this season. But I'm sure some will say I'm over-estimating their worth. Green? I'm serious. I have no idea whether you're being sarcastic or not.

Baron Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:59 PM) Wonder what the true story is.... Clearing roster space at Charlotte? Clearing space on the 40 man? Maybe Harrell said something to his Mgr that got him in trouble? He was picked up off of waivers before he got to AAA. So there really is no story beyond that.

elrockinMT Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I may be wrong (always cover your rear) but I think losing Harrell off waivers is not translating into anything for the Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) He was picked up off of waivers before he got to AAA. So there really is no story beyond that. The 40 man roster stood at 38 men with him and he was not out of options, they didn't have to send him through waivers but they chose to anyway. Now the 40 stands at 37 so why were they trying to clear a spot on the 40 by outrighting him to AAA? It's probably because he's not any good but if that's the case then they must have really not thought much of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 11:58 AM) If we had picked up Jeff Marquez, Jeff Gray, and Lucas Harrell as new players this year, we'd never hear the end of it. so true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChrisSamsa Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) FWIW.. Oney Guillen really liked him. I remember him tweeting all about him last time he pitched. [/adding fuel to the Ozzie v.

Kenny clearly needed to be sure that they had his successor ready in Hector Santiago before letting Harrell go, and so it is done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, well said. For some reason I'm always hesitant to give up on 95mph but then part of me thinks the minor leagues are just filled with 95mph now.

OilCan Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) How cool would it be to have Hunter Pence? THIS AND THAT! I wish Chet, but Hunter is the face of Houston, for better or worse. You need a John Danks/Dayan Viciedo type trade to get him. And we know that won't happen.

witesoxfan Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Honestly, Lucas Harrell is not even a AAAA player. Hopefully he finds a niche in Houston and has a career like Jason Grilli, maybe make a couple million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
