The White Sox designated righty Jeff Gray for assignment to open a spot on the 25-man roster for Jake Peavy, tweets MLB.com's Scott Merkin. The move leaves the Sox with 35 players on their 40-man roster.
Gray, 29, tossed 13 1/3 innings for the Sox this year, including a nice three-inning effort yesterday. The team had signed Gray to a minor league deal in December after he'd been outrighted by the Cubs. Gray had been part of the December '09 deal that sent Jake Fox and Aaron Miles to Oakland.
White flag! Noooooooo!
Sending Jeff Gray to Charlotte is a “White Flag” move? What is your damage son. They have won the last two series and are 4 of 5, they very well might be on the verge of turning it around.
I’m so baffled that anyone could have taken my comment seriously that I don’t really know how to respond to this. The only thing more confusing is that MLBTR thought a Jeff Gray DFA was newsworthy.
Now DFA Juan Pierre and call up Dayan Viciedo and I’ll be all smiles.
Anybody else think Peavy will be back on the DL before the end of the season?
There is a good chance, but I don’t want to even think about that. Thank god for Phil Humber, though.
How about before the end of the month?
The guy has some of the worst mechanics in baseball, he’ll be back on it and soon.
So the Sox get rid of Gray and keep Pena. This has Guillen written all over it. Pena is horrible and has been for quite awhile. Bad move.
Pena is brutal
