Rios Benched, De Aza To Start

[Uman85]

Chicago White Sox bench Alex Rios, promote and start Alejandro De Aza - ESPN Chicago

If the club has no issues with benching Rios, why didn't they get Rasmus? Kenny is really turning into quite the dipshit.

 

[daddies3angels]

why not bring up Vicedo and put Pierre in CF?

 

[y2chae]

Pierre can't play CF.

 

[brett05]

What move did we make to bring him up?

 

[Uman85]

KW said they will bring up De Aza and bench Rios despite his salary. If that's the case, why is Viciedo still sitting in the minors?

Trading Teahen and Jackson for Frasor left a spot open. I guess this means Zach Stewart goes to AAA.

His thumb is sore. Of course that might not have happened had he been brought up a month ago like he should've been.

Traded Jackson and Teahen to Toronto.

Traded Jackson and Teahen to Toronto.

Haha I understand. The next few days are going to be insanely busy. We'll all miss quite a bit of news.

RT @paul_casella: After one at-bat, De Aza (HR, 2 RBI) is just 5 home runs and 21 RBI away from catching Rios, who has played 97 games

Not to rub it in, but De Aza has 2 RBis in 1 at-bat. Rios has 3 RBIs in his last 110 at-bats.

Alejandro De Aza homers in his first at-bat!! Rios last homer: June 19th.

 

[Uman85]

Ozzie said after the game that De Aza will get playing time. Hope he steps up and plays well like today. He's got a good glove in CF and he showed what he can do with the bat today.

 

[nickofypres]

When they got De Aza going into 2010 I figured that he would be the starter in LF and leading off. So when they got Pierre I was confused. Maybe spending time in AAA helped him out? When he was healthy for the Marlins he was good.

 

[hsvj60]

this kid makes Pierre expendable as well! Then if Quentin gets traded we'll end up with a revamped OF
RF - Viceido
CF - DeAza
LF - Danks/Lillibridge????
Can't be any worse than what we have if Dayan can really fill Quentin's shoes.
