I glanced at an article that was touting this player. Fifty some odd RBIs already? I don't know much of anything about the Sox minor league system, but why wouldn't he get a call up? Konerko and Thome are so entrenched in their roles that they each couldn't get a game or two off a week to allow this guy to play?
Curious to hear from the faithful as I am merely a heretic.

He's not on the 40 man so they'd have to release one player from it to bring him up. They will have to do the same thing for Loaiza assuming they are bringing him on.

I believe he is a 27 year old that they picked off a Rule 5 scrap heap. He is purely a AAAA player.

Phil Rogers said he was 24 or 25 when Mully and Hanley had him on the other day.

Ouch. I just looked up his DOB. This guy is going to turn 28 in a month. So much for Phil Rogers's acumen. Don't doubt the dolphin.

The dreaded 4A label. I've seen a few of those in Cubs uniforms over the years.
Thanks for the info.

Hah! That's fodder for the grill. See if the neighborhood tavern takes it and runs with it. Somebody tell Mac because he never posts in any section but his own.

Gary Scott
Felix Pie is making his audition to be on this list.

:evil:

Sad to say, but it might be a take 50 to do the list justice.

I have to devote actual thought to putting this together. I'm having a senior moment and missing a couple of good ones...

Oh Lordy...

Kevin Blankenship and Mike Harkey come to mind.

Rauch is actually finally living up to some of his potential. 12 saves this year for the Nationals. 25/4 K/BB ratio. WHIP under 1

Miguel Olivo. Has had a decent career, but was never the superstar the Sox thought he'd be.

I don't think so. He's Steve Swisher's son.
