Olmedo can play SS. But I also think it will be in September making it a moot point. Edited August 15, 2012 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 He's really gone down hill in what should be his prime ..Seems like a typical Sox player with that ugly OBP. KW hoping he can get back to where he once was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This was a predictable and smart move. Kenny has really been acting when given the chance this year. It's as if a huge roadblock to any move involving the active roster was removed at some point during the offseason......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 At some point we have to start exercising caution with the roster moves. You don't want a huge portion of the team being fluid. Lots of pieces have shuffled around this year, from the bench to some very big contributors. Weird dugout vibes can be a product of all of this type of thing.

Weird dugout vibes can be a product of all of this type of thing. I think the exact opposite would be true. If you keep the same people that close together for an 8 month period of time, people tend to wear on others. With new people, you get new experiences and new people to talk to, keeping the mood fresh as the year goes on. There is also the risk of losing a good clubhouse guy who is not a good baseball player. In times like that, a good manager will keep heads level and keep the atmosphere loose.
