NorthSideSox72 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 D-Backs against the Sox at TEP. Masset to start, Wassermann also to throw - its the last roster spot showdown. Game will be on CSN, for those who want to watch the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxWS05 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Should be a good battle, I think Wasserman deserves the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Could be the Sox last game at TEP. Nick Swisher, CF Orlando Cabrera, SS Jim Thome, DH Paul Konerko, 1B Jermaine Dye, RF A.J. Pierzynski, C Carlos Quentin, LF Joe Crede, 3B Juan Uribe, 2B Nick Masset on the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Uribe v Ozuna, and the exact oder they are in... I think that's the Opening Day lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better yet, not in the lineup at all. I believe that Ozzie has said, against LHP, Thome bats 5th. And I'm sure he will have some off days against them as well, probably moving Dye to DH and putting an extra youngster in the OF. Which seems good to me.

scenario Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 BTW - Both the Trib and whitesox.com are listing the start time as 2:05pm central (3:05 eastern) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last game in Arizona is always an hour earlier. presumably to give teams an extra hour for wherever they travel for the last few spring games. Sox fly to Oklahoma City tomorrow morning.

bullpenHeat Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well that should about do it for Massett. What a waste of talent. Hopefully he picks up somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Looks like Swisher made an error - anyone see it? Masset getting beat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Masset better not be on our Opening Day roster, he can't get anybody out. Keep Wassermann on the team and tough it out with a lack of a long reliever. Uribe's throw was terrible. A ball went over Swisher's head but I didn't see an "error."

heirdog Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 If we DFA Massett, is he a FA and can sign anywhere or does he go through a waiver priority system? And if its waivers, can we still work out a deal with another team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Masset looking good today. Hopefully the last time he pitches for the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's talent there - someone will pick him up. Or, I think, the Sox can put him through waivers, and if no one bites, they can send him to Charlotte.

Dick Allen Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Losing Masset wouldn't be a huge loss. He's basically being handed a job he has yet to earn and he still can't do anything with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically being handed a job he has yet to earn and he still can't do anything with it. I can see why they gave him the shot - he has some talent, he's out of options... but ultimately, if they decide the team needs a long reliever / sixth starter type guy, probably better to just bring up Haeger or Broadway anyway. Despite the overall lack of talent in the minor league system, the Charlotte team will have a few decent starting pitchers on it. One or two of them are likely to become something good.

I think KW would rather keep those guys in Charlotte to begin with. Maybe Ohka or maybe scouring the waiver wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ohka or maybe scouring the waiver wire. That's one school of thought - the guys who could eventually be starters at the major league level (Egbert, Broadway, etc.) might be better off getting in starts at Charlotte than being in the pen in Chicago.
