Olmedo Waived

[Lip Man 1]

According to Gonzo at the Tribune web site.

He should have been waived in August but better late than never.

Oh no! Not Olmedo!

Seriously though, I hope he enjoyed his time w/us because I really doubt he'll ever play in the majors again.

I applaud KW for going all out with the Liriano trade, but in retrospect I think the Twins won that one. Not having to see either Liriano or Olmedo would have been terrific.

Still, you have to roll the dice. It was a good gamble.

That strike out was one of the worst I have ever seen. I hope he doesn't come back like Wise did.

So who is starting the appreciation thread?

Eh, the gamble was still worth it. At best Escobar is a utility IF.

Wise came back pretty good for us.

[RCWHITESOX]

No loss. Hope he takes Hudson, Humber, and Wise with him.

The road to the 2018 ALC title begins.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Hey, I was at a game in August where Olmedo made two spectacular plays at second base. I think he also had an RBI.

Not everyone can be Bill Mazeroski. Not everyone can even be Gordon Beckham.

Thank God!

Olmedo was the one Sox player this year that made me want to throw something at the screen.

I wish him well elsewhere.

Olmedo had the potential to be the next Andy Gonzalez.

Olmedo sucked and proved that there was a reason why he hadn't played in the bigs for years, but lets not get too carried away here by comparing him to A. Gonzalez.
