Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 40s40 seconds ago #WhiteSox down to 31 players in camp. In-house battle for last man is down to: Jerry Sands, Travis Ishikawa or possibly 13th pitcher.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 54s55 seconds ago Roster cuts today. Not official but Davidson, Carlos Sanchez, Leury Garcia, Kahnle, Coats appear to be among them.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 3s3 seconds ago #WhiteSox appear to have several cuts on the way. Should have more in a bit.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) Not a popular opinion, but I wouldn't mind Davidson getting a crack at the DH position sometime this year Only if the season has gone south

The dream is alive maybe? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/03/carl...ree-agency.html

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 2m2 minutes ago Appears to be a few cuts coming today. Tim Anderson's locker was empty. #WhiteSox

Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 17m17 minutes ago More cuts for the White Sox today . Players trying to dodge Rick Renteria coming to get them Also- Could relate to Gavin Floyd mayyyybe being available for a starting spot if we want that at some point here: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/aaron-sanch...ontos-rotation/

Was Jennings over Zach Phillips a mistake?

Bernie Pleskoff ‏@BerniePleskoff 2m2 minutes ago Heard it in the press box: #Athletics on the prowl to move some older players and are looking for middle infielders.

This is worth a click for any Paulie fan: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/konerko-gre...ned-multitudes/

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 11:34 AM) Johnson, Lombardozzi, and Danish have been sent down. 40 in camp. erik johnson on a winning team should not be a starter. First guy up from AAA is kind of the ideal slot for him.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 37s38 seconds ago Adam LaRoche's retirement paperwork has been filed.

So what's the lie? I think someone mentioned a guess a while back --- ten pages back, 2 minutes ago

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 55s56 seconds ago Chris Sale said #WhiteSox have heard three different versions of why this decision came down from Kenny Williams. Said that's biggest issue.

Wish someone could indicate to Chris Sale that nobody died

Kill me now Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 28s28 seconds ago Chris Sale has. Adam LaRoche and Drake LaRoche uniforms hanging in his Whitesox locker

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) Wonder how Drake is going to feel 30 years from now when he's a few million lighter in his inheritance he will still be able to buy a pony either way

We think we were cheap, re: OF --but Indians had needs too and went cheaper: Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal now Source: #Indians signing free-agent OF Marlon Byrd to minor-league deal.

It does bear pointing out we acted here with the swiftness and decisiveness that mightve better been used when we faced a real threat of a situation, like with s***head Oney But i do support what the Sox are doing here.

QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 09:26 AM) ahh major league ..... a great movie. i needed that visual joke, ugh... i just envision RV in a spadix bikini trunks. not pretty. I forgot about the movie momentarily so that reference had me like huhhh?

This is about the team meeting they had: Christopher Crawford ‏@CVCrawfordBP 59m59 minutes ago San Diego, CA Karl Ravech was just on television saying the White Sox were willing to boycott their ST game over this Laroche situation. That's..something http://www.businessinsider.com/white-sox-p...-laroche-2016-3 "This is a team that was not going to go out and practice," Ravech said. "And furthermore, this was a team that ultimately said to the manager 'we're not going to go out and play in that game at 1:00.' You had a team that was willing to stand by the player and not participate in practice, and moreso, not participate in an exhibition game." The only thing that kept the players from boycotting was manager Robin Ventura who told that he needed them to play for him, that it was his job and it was their job. At that point, the players relented.

I am with the Sox on all of this. Though it should be said that if LaRoche had a .840 OPS last year and Kenny did this, causing him to leave...every Sox fan would be up in arms at Kenny, siding with Adam

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 2m2 minutes ago Source: LaRoche told #WhiteSox yesterday he would take a “couple of days” before making final decision on retirement.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 17s17 seconds ago Sources: LaRoche chose to retire after #WhiteSox prez Ken Williams told him that he no longer could bring 14-year-old son into clubhouse. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 16s16 seconds ago LaRoche’s son, Drake, 14, has traveled with him for several years. Adam, in a Chicago Tribune story last year, called him team’s “26th man.” Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 37s38 seconds ago LaRoche’s friend, #Brewers pitcher Blaine Boyer: “He’s an unbelievable father, an unbelievable husband, a friend you can only dream of.” Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 4s4 seconds ago “…it’s an unbelievable test of who he is, the husband he is, the father he is.” Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 22s22 seconds ago Boyer added: “I honestly think this is between good and evil. I know which side Adam lives on. I’m thankful to see the way he’s acting…

i basically see nothing of this from LaRoche's angle-- except this....you KNOW that before they signed him, this was discussed..and the Sox let the kid be there for a year So i wonder if laroche had hit .307 last year if this was going to be a policy switch or not.
