After watching the Sox game tonight, I'm starting to see a glimmer of hope with the team. Now, GM Kenny Williams has had a busy day making some trades that could make things interesting...
Kenny traded minor league pitchers Royce Ring and Edwin Almonte and infielder Andrew Salvo to the Mets for Roberto Alomar, Sandy's brother. he's been described as "underachieving" this year, so, though I'm worried about his future performance this year, he's still a quality guy with a great past.
Now speaking of pasts, the Sox got a great player that, in generalities, could be described as a "head case" - they acquired outfielder-designated hitter Carl Everett from Texas, along with cash considerations, for players to be named later. (Texas will choose from a pool of minor leaguers, and depending on the players selected, they will either get two or three players.)
I'm really worried about team chemistry with this one.
Now, how do you make some room for these guys? The Sox designated both D’Angelo Jimenez and Armando Rios for assignment. The team has 10 days to decide whether to release the pair, trade them or option them to Charlotte, but I had thought I had heard that they were out of options.
Oh, I really want these to work out...
