Foulke off of DL???

[a700hitter]

Miller will most likely go down Tuesday when Foulke comes back. If Mirabelli is still injured, then i would think Hansen gets sent down.

I don't think hansen will go down. They'll just have Javy catch for two ro three games untill Belli is healthy.

as Dustin Mohr said, Keith Foulke was quoted as saying he'd retire if he felt he couldn't return to effective form. so, it seems like the sox will win either way. A) Foulke makes a strong comeback and helps our atrocious bullpen or Foulke retires and spares us his high priced contract for 1??? year.

Foulke is a FA at the end of this yr anyway

If Mirabelli is still unhealthy by the time Foulke is ready, don't you think Mirabelli might hit the DL and open up the spot for Foulke? If not, Miller is the likely candidate. They wont have 3 catchers lounging around with the big club.

no he isn't. he has an option. a team one that won't be picked up but he has a 3.75 mil player option that he could pick up.

foulkes buyout will cost us around 5M next year

he has an option for 3+ and the cost to buy him out is 1.5+ i believe?

I think he might just be spouting like every other athlete does when they lose their mental toughness. No way this guy leaves 3 mil on the table for one more go at it. Chances are, if he accepts the player option, he'll likely get traded or DFA'd anyway.
