Jason Dellaero was a switcher, and he was not too good at it.

I had even forgotten about him. Best switchhitter I saw play was Mickey Mantle

he's been there all year, just on the DL then off for a week, and then back on. Got hit in the wrist with pitches both times.

My Duh. Thought he started with the Dash, and just assumed...

msf · « **Reply #183 on:** June 09, 2011, 04:54:04 pm »

nah, his year has been a waste. We have had more guys get hit in the wrist. BA, not that it mattered, Beckham, Quentin twice. One thing bother me about Trayce Thompson, he gets a lot of HBPs as well.

White Sox Claim Leyson Septimo

By Tim Dierkes [June 13, 2011 at 3:52pm CST]

The White Sox claimed lefty Leyson Septimo off waivers from the Diamondbacks and optioned him to Double-A, tweets the team. As the team with the fewest players on their 40-man roster (36) the Sox had plenty of room to make the addition. Meanwhile, Arizona's 40-man count drops to 38.

Septimo, 25, has a 6.37 ERA, 6.7 K/9, 7.6 BB/9, and 0.3 HR/9 in 29 2/3 relief innings at Double-A this year. Prior to the 2010 season, Baseball America ranked Septimo 26th among Diamondbacks prospects. The former outfielder was converted to the mound after the '07 season and can touch triple digits with his fastball, according to BA. The White Sox currently have a position player conversion success story in their own bullpen, closer Sergio Santos.

The D'Backs have acquired right-hander Gaby Hernandez from the White Sox, reports the official Twitter feed of the Reno Aces, Arizona's Triple-A affiliate. Hernandez had a 7.69 ERA in 11 starts at Triple-A Charlotte this season and he has a career ERA of 5.76 in 81 Triple-A games.

Arizona is Hernandez's fifth organization in 17 months. He was a Mariner, a Red Sock, and a Royal within a little over a month's time in early 2010, and then he was dealt to the White Sox last March. Hernandez was originally taken in the third round of the 2004 amateur draft by the Mets.

Red Sock

Shame shame shame on whoever wrote that.

But if it annoys even one "Red Sox Nation" deuche, it will have been worth it.

Ever Magallanes

His parents wanted you to know that he will always have that last name.

Wacky!
