NorthSideSox72 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Interesting side note about the minor league DL... most of the guys on the DL for the White Sox are on the standard 7 day DL. But Stephen McCray and Jake Cose were put on the 60-day, per Baseball America. Cose had a back injury this offseason, so I assume that is the issue for him. McCray I have no idea about.

That's as big of a "who cares" as I think you can find. At least they aren't lying I guess. Look at what he did the past two years. He doesn't belong getting starting playing time, this is another one of those nepotism things. Dude struck out in nearly half his at bats over two seasons and never hit a lick, as a pure DH. I don't care if they take guys like that and have them ride the bench to provide some guidance or whatever, but just like with KW Jr, it drives me up a wall he is playing while guys who have some non-zero chance of being valuable wait behind him. /end rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get worked up over Laumann and Parent's kids, because they were on the bench, where they belong. And if one of the front office staff's kids is a legit prospect, great, they deserve to start. I just think this is a little KW Chicago-style politics is all. Not a huge thing, just something that irritates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I said that would happen and I'm sure a lot of people agreed with me. I doubt he has even caught on with a indy league team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes away from someone who is better and should be playing. Had KW Jr. gone on to the Rockies org and played half decent, then that would be one thing, but he didn't. He never played again.

Isn't he in his late 20s? Yes and yes. Taken in the AAA portion of the Rule V, he's 27. He's had a lot of AA innings, a few AAA and a very few MLB. He won't be long for A ball I'd have to think, he'll probably be in AA and/or AAA pretty soon. He was technically on the DL, not sure why, but this looks like a temporary assignment to me.

No word I've seen, but last I knew he was in extended ST. Bell's last word last year was he'd be with the new AZL Sox this year. They start play in June.
