Eminor3rd Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 No, he hasn't been good in the majors, and that's why he was DFA'd. However, he did fine in the minors, is a formerly highly regarded prospect, and would presumably be happy stashed in Charlotte. And the Sox still need SP depth. And we are actually in a position to win the claim for once. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...&position=P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm game. Claim him and give him a shot to earn a spot in ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The 40 man roster is finally full, which means if they want to bring in another major leaguer, they would have to cut an additional player if they made a claim like this. As to the player, If the Sox see something they can alter, I have no problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a look at the 40-man, I actually don't see any obvious guys to dump -- there are guys EYE would dump, but I assume the Sox might/probably like them as much or more than Nolin. Here are the potentials that jumped out: OF Jerry Sands IF Leury Garcia OF Daniel Fields SP Scott Carroll SP Brandon Brennan RP Tommy Kahnle RP Zach Phillips RP Michael Ynoa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of that, Carroll has been removed from the 40 man roster once, and would be a probably target again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't make sense to be honest, with all do respect to Eminor. IIRC, I think it was you that said Carroll would likely be the pitcher to go first and I agree. Imo, there more upside potential in Nolin than Carroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
