Sox Scoops 40.015 "Waiver acquisition helps AAA team"

The Chicago Black Sox on Friday announced they have successfully claimed relief pitcher António Salcido on waivers from the Omaha Hawks and assigned him to their AAA affiliate.

António Salcido
Salcido, a 28-year-old right hander, spent most of last season with Omaha’s AAA team, the Lincoln Loggers. He appeared in 22 games (starting 11 of them), pitching 85.2 innings with a 4.83 ERA, a 3-4 record, 55 Ks and 52 walks. He also appeared in 5 games for Omaha, notching a 3.68 ERA in 7.1 innings pitched. He had a 1-0 record, 9 Ks and 5 walks.

Scouts grade his potential as a relief pitcher as a 40, with an 8 “stuff” rating, 6 movement, and 2 control.

Salcido does not project as a major league player for the Sox, but will help fill out the bullpen for the Carolina Flight and, perhaps, make an occasional start.

“Sometimes, you need to help your minor league teams fill out their rosters, and Salcido should do that nicely,” said Sox GM Vic Caleca. “Is this a major acquisition? No. But it’s a necessary one.”

Not unlike this story, which helps this reporter fulfill his quota for the week …

Always good to build winning minors. Or is that winning miners?
