southsider2k5 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 So is Montas being called up as a free audition to replace Samardjiza soon? #conspiracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCCWS Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 15, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) To start hopefully? That'd be exciting as hell. He only pitches a little less than 5 innings per game in AA so he would need back-up. But they also would have a rested bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 If anyone is replacing Shark after he's traded, it's Johnson, not Montas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Interesting. For a guy averaging 4.2 IP per start this year, not sure if I like this move in the short term (maybe rather see EJ). But it will be exciting to see him in a Sox uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 He'll probably only pitch if things go sideways with Danks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The guy who gave up 3 runs in 2/3 of an inning in the futures game? Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 My guess is gives a multi-inning long-reliever option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 If I had to guess, I'd say that Carroll starts a game, then goes back to AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
