Well on the bright side, after this primary we can throw dirt on the idea that Republicans only went after Obama because he was black, after watching this cannibalization during this primary cycle.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) Here's my prediction for the opening day roster: 2016 Chicago White Sox Starting Lineup (vs. RHP) 1) Adam Eaton (RF) (L) 2) Jimmy Rollins (SS) (S) 3) Jose Abreu (1B) ® 4) Todd Frazier (3B) ® 5) Melky Cabrera (LF) (S) 6) Avisail Garcia (DH) ® 7) Brett Lawrie (2B) ® 8) Austin Jackson (CF) ® 9) Alex Avila © (L) 2016 Chicago White Sox Bench 1) Dioner Navarro © (S) 2) Tyler Saladino (IF) ® 3) Carlos Sanchez (IF) (S) 4) J.B. Shuck (OF) (L) 2016 Chicago White Sox Starting Rotation 1) Chris Sale (L) 2) Jose Quintana (L) 3) Carlos Rodon (L) 4) Matt Latos ® 5) John Danks (L) 2016 Chicago White Sox Bullpen 1) Erik Johnson ® (LRP) 2) Zach Duke (L) (MRP/SU) 3) Matt Albers ® (MRP/SU) 4) Jake Petricka ® (MRP/SU) 5) Nate Jones ® (MRP/SU) 6) Zach Putnam ® (MRP/SU) 7) David Robertson ® (CL) What do you guys think? I think this is a realistic roster prediction. I might take out Erik Johnson and throw in Dan Jennings for an extra lefty arm, but then there is no true long reliever. Maybe swap out Carlos Sanchez? Not sure, but I think him and Shuck are shoe-ins for the last two bench spots. I also think we will see Saladino start at SS more with lefties. I like the combo of Eaton and Rollins up top as table setters. I see a lot of bunting and hit and runs going on with those two. I would take Sanchez out and put Sands or Ishikawa on the roster. My guess right now would be Sands. Also Erik Johnson is already in AAA. Jennings is on the roster for sure.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 06:56 PM) Such a thing does not exist. Clayton Kershaw.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) I agree. Rodon's stuff is just as good as Sale's. Doesn't mean he's going to turn into a workhorse Chris Sale but he has a chance. This. Rodon has Sale like stuff. He also has a big strong and thick body that should lead to him being an innings eater. Hence my pick for a ceiling. It doesn't mean he will get there, but a best case scenario.

Trout got Sale that time. He got it in, instead of out

Nice piece of hitting by Jackson to drive that two out run home, and even better base running hustle to turn it into a double on Trout.

Sale just struck out Trout on the same pitch he hit that grand slam on. Change up low and off of the plate away.

Chris Sale has given the Angels a total of 7 runs in his career over 38+ innings. 4 of them came on one Trout swing.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 02:20 PM) Rodon's stuff isn't that much better than Fulmer's IMO. Seems Carson sits at a higher velocity with the fastball and that curveball is nasty Rodon has some of the best pure stuff in baseball. He was a surefire #1 pick before his draft year started and a couple of teams over thought things. He has a ceiling of a workhorse version of Chris Sale. I like Fulmer a lot, but he is no where near that league in terms of ceiling.

Now we just need the Cowboys to sign Manziel.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) And where are you going to store him for depth? If the Sox were to acquire him he would have to be in the Majors or he would be gone. He cannot be sent to the minors as a player with 5 years service time without his permission (which he would not give). Even if he did give permission they would have to expose him to waivers and with his salary and strong spring he would be gone in a second. Do some of you guys forget that you can only have 25 men on the active roster? You can't just acquire a bunch of veteran guys for depth just in case something happens. It doesn't work that way. Correct. Floyd has a major league contract not an MiLB one, and he has a salary of $1 million for 2016. If he was waived to be sent to the minors, he'd have all kinds of teams claim him for that price.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 12:01 PM) Why not? EJ has no future here and Danks, Turner, and Latos are lottery tickets. I wouldn't mind bringing back Floyd just for depth. Because Floyd will get dealt somewhere he can play now on a major league roster. That is not here. Like it or not, the Sox rotation is set.

Literally every single UK player who can declare for the draft is doing so. http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/16879...adbpr=595667888
