southsider2k5 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I still have not seen who was called up. Both Jackson and Johnson are playing tonight at Charlotte, so not sure who is coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claydude14 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Gimme Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 If you call up either of Jackson or Johnson; your next move -- when Konerko returns -- almost has to involve Hudson, Olmedo, Danks or someone going to the DL otherwise you expose Johnson or Jackson to waivers all for a few days of bench depth while Konerko clears the cobwebs. I'd say with relative certainty that Johnson has a 99% chance of being claimed and Jackson around 50%, that depth could really come in handy come September, no need to risk it now.

Didnt realize all that. Johnson can wait til SePtember then. I just liked his at bats and line when I saw the Knights play the Red Twings in June and Empire Yankees in July.

Chicago White Sox Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) If you call up either of Jackson or Johnson; your next move -- when Konerko returns -- almost has to involve Hudson, Olmedo, Danks or someone going to the DL otherwise you expose Johnson or Jackson to waivers all for a few days of bench depth while Konerko clears the cobwebs. I'd say with relative certainty that Johnson has a 99% chance of being claimed and Jackson around 50%, that depth could really come in handy come September, no need to risk it now. I agree with your logic 100%, although they did bring up Stutlz for a start or two despite being in a similar situation. I wouldn't completely rule it out, but I agree it would be a stupid move with September right around the corner. I'd like to see them move John Danks to the 60 day DL, call up Jackson or Johnson, then send Olmedo down once Konerko is ready. I'd much rather keep either of those guys on the bench the rest of the month than an extra backup IF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 No word on who will be promoted yet? Makes you wonder if there could be a trade announced after one of these west coast games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if there could be a trade announced after one of these west coast games? I think that the decision on Konerko came so late that they didn't have time to get someone to Chicago in time for Friday night's game. Might as well wait to make the move, in case something else happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well wait to make the move, in case something else happens. They had an off day to get someone in Chicago BEFORE the decision on PK was made. Who cares how it affects the Knights, having someone in town just in case would have been the right move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Dealing with a short bench for a night or two in the AL isn't such a big deal when you often play entire games without using anybody off the bench. I was originally in favor of Jackson or Johnson coming up, but if JorDanks can handle regular playing time, I'd rather bring up Morel and then: vs RHP Danks LF Dunn 1B Viciedo DH Youkilis 3B vs LHP Viciedo LF Youkilis 1B Dunn DH Morel 3B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an accident at work a couple of years ago where I fell backwards and hit my head on concrete. I had a mild concussion but this it looked like Dyson barely grazed him.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 10:21 PM) I'll go with Hudson DL. And they keep 13 pitchers? I thought possibly Olmedo would be DFA and Septimo sent down. PK and Jose Lopez added to roster. Could be a couple different combos though.

cabiness42 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) I would think Septimo is sent down when Paulie is back. EDIT: I just read that Septimo is out of options. So I think either Veal goes back or Hudson gets DFA. Edited August 17, 2012 by HickoryHuskers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 10:21 PM) I'll go with Hudson DL. That would make the most sense. It would allow us to not have to decide who to leave until potentially the playoffs if we take him off of the DL on Sept 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
