Before the start of the season, I had a conversation with my friend, former colleague and fellow Sox fan Chris Pummer. It went something like this:
Chris: So, who do you think will keep his job the longest? Me or Dewayne Wise?
JB: Wise.
Chris: Yeah, you're probably right about that.
Unfortunately, Chris got laid off in May, but Wise just keeps on going and going. I thought for sure Monday's acquisition of Alex Rios would signal the end of Wise's tenure with the Sox. Denied.
The Sox optioned right-handed pitcher Carlos Torres to the minors this afternoon to make room for Rios. Wise remains on the roster as a SIXTH outfielder behind Jermaine Dye, Carlos Quentin, Scott Podsednik, Rios and Mark Kotsay.
The saga of Dewayne Wise continues....
