Noonskadoodle Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 David O'Brien @ajcbraves 3B Juan Francisco designated for assignment by #Braves to open roster spot for Alex Wood. Bring him in & drop Greene or Wells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillaspie has been pretty money & a great find so far, but adding another lefty to the bench & cutting either Greene or Wells loose is something that def couldn't hurt.

Vance Law Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Wells or Greene will already be gone in a matter of days when Beckham comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 A young lefty 3b is the one thing the Sox do have. I don't see a point in going after Francisco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I think that gillaspie would be more valuable as a utility infielder. fransisco brings the power and pop we lack with gillaspie at 3rd. I don't think we should shy away because of gillaspie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we should shy away because of gillaspie. has Gillaspie ever played any position other than 3rd? and If Francisco is a solid upgrade from him, why would we expect he'd get through waivers?

Dick Allen Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 How come if White Sox put up these kind of numbers, the team needs to move on from them as soon as possible, but if he's with another team, he's potentially a great player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
