Falstaff

I am surprised with McDougal coming up. He has the stuff but couldn't find the plate last time he was up.

I would keep all 3 to be safe, Teel has gone down to many times this season.

I would keep Rogers as insurance with Teel having an injury prone season.

Interesting how Dylan breaks it down Dylan Barnas @NotCease12m My best guess as to what roster moves will happen over the next 5 days: Tues: Pham selected, Perez DFA McDougal recalled Wed: Martin activated, Schweitzer optioned Fri: Teel activated, Rogers DFA Thorpe activated, Urquidy DFA Should be a busy week for the White Sox!

Looking at his game log, he had about 18 decent games in August. His injury history just kept everyone away, I can't blame them.

From some of the comments at Sox Machine they believe Pham is not for long and when Teel comes up he will be launched. Also the O's were ahead of the Sox and they nabbed Robert before the Sox could. Supposedly the Sox had interest in him.

I gave up trying to figure out the Pham trade, we have plenty of smart posters here , they will figure it out.

They needed an extra glove for the outfield. Sam is a gamer, love the guy, but I don't want to see him in LF late innings .

If Pham came over on a minor league deal and is added to the expanded roster 9/1 do the Sox have to make any roster adjustments on the existing 40 man list?

They can always release him at any time and call it a day.

Marcus of Queensbury rules

Pham pinch hits off the bench and can play LF if needed. All the sudden Robert goes from no way to way.

Because Teel, Thorpe, and Brazoban are all on the 40 man and also on a rehab assignment can they be called up later and still be on the playoff roster ?

Maybe he rakes against an Astro pitcher and then they release him after the game. This is Bizarro World, the absolute dumbest thing possible.

Is this a minor league deal ?

I hope he stays healthy to beat Cleveland

I was thinking the same thing with Cleveland claiming him

If both Tyler Gilbert & Tyler Davis go down, then Martin Davis and Teel comes up you have your 3rd catcher. 9/1 you can add 2 more players

Unlikely single hero: Teel

Unlikely September hero ; White Sox starting staff steps it up.

We all can see what is happening and as fans of the game know the price to pay that comes with it. All season this team has had the ability to hang on and right the ship avoiding falling over the cliff. A fresh Martin and roster expansion is coming at the right time. The rest of MLB is in the same boat as the Sox as far as being worn down. I like the White Sox resilience, they don't quit.

The stars at night Are big and bright Castillo gets it done in Texas.

3 out of 4 would be a tall order in Houston but it would give the season series edge to the Sox. Having the tie breaker against the Astros in their back pocket would be nice. Burke, Kay, Martin, and Castillo, get it done boys!

And this one was on the road, I will take it

Today's game will be a test for the low leverage part of the Sox bullpen. I assume Venable is going to give the high leverage pieces a day of rest. Hicks Opener Urquidy Available: Richards, Gilbert, Tyler Davis Hope for the Sox offense to score a boatload of runs.
