OF Dewayne Wise opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Class AAA Charlotte. The 31-year-old Wise, who actually won the leadoff job and starting center field spot out of spring training before separating his shoulder early on, hit .225 with two homers and 11 RBI in 84 games with the South Siders. He became a non-factor with the club adding OF Mark Kotsay and then OF Alex Rios in the second half.
