White Sox outfielder
Leury Garcia was put on the ten-day disabled list after hurting his left
hamstring over the weekend in Tampa.
This gave the Sox the opportunity to call up Eloy Jimenez, hitting .376
with eight homeruns at Triple A vs. .317 with ten homers at Double A. Fans were hopeful.
Jimenez would
have had the chance to face the visiting Yankees in his major-league
debut. He might have homered in his
first at-bat, or struck out. Either way,
he would have been in the bigs, and the team would have made a statement on the
progress of its rebuild. But no, a
29-year old journeyman was called up instead.
There are boxes
to check, hopes to quash.
