witesoxfan Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 27, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) Gellinger had a lot of health problems this past year, that has to be the main reason behind changing those roles. Thigpen, not sure about. Just an internal promotion, "Sox Loyalty" thing there apparently. He flamed out quickly, but Thigpen was a pretty good reliever for a 6 year stretch. I like the idea of having a guy who knows the rigors of being in that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I used to have a cassette tape that was some birthday message from Bobby Thigpen when I was a kid. I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Anyone things the Thigpen hiring is due in part with the young bullpen we have ? Seems like a good fit for guys like Reed, Jones etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
