Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 3m3 minutes ago .@HJPNoesi will start Friday and Danks Sunday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) I think he meant a top-flight 3b or ss....but the odds of finding someone more than a Danny Valencia or Didi Gregorious level player are about 1 in 100. The context of the conversation was about the waiver wire. You aren't finding a top flight anything on waivers.

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 3m3 minutes ago Per Ventura, @CarlosRodon16 will pitch Saturday.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 6, 2015 -> 04:17 PM) I'm not sure that beats them, either. STL has been trying that for 2-3 years now. The Canucks tried, too. I am not saying it is automatic, but the chances are way higher.

Jordan Bastian ‏@MLBastian 7m7 minutes ago Indians will add LHP Bruce Chen to the roster on Saturday to start vs. Twins. Will need to make a roster move for 40/25 rosters.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 7m7 minutes ago Jeff Samardzija officially drops his appeal. Will begin serving his five-game suspension tonight. Available again 5/11 at Brewers Fully expect Chris Sale to start serving his suspension Thursday, being available to start Tuesday in Milwaukee. I also expect Carlos Rodon to get the start that will be needed this weekend with Samardzija and Sale gone. Right now, Quintana Thursday, and then a combination of Danks, Noesi and Rodon vs. Reds.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 6, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) I completely disagree. They already have a 4th OF who is about on par with other 4th OFs, and they have a guy they see as a key prospect raking in AAA in Trayce Thompson. They also have a guy with a major league track record there, Matt Tuiasosopo, who would likely be better than anything on the waiver wire. I can't see this area being a priority at all. SP "depth" is a major problem because Noesi and Danks are terrible, Rodon is a rookie and can only take one slot anyway, and neither Beck nor Johnson look ready just yet. Skill infielder meaning 3B primarly, which Sanchez has only played sparingly, though I'd say that one is almost as low as OF. Catching is an easy #1. Relief arms are also higher. I'll stick to my guns on this. The only thing lower is 1B. Thompson didn't even get a September call up in a lost 2014 season. Has that much changed in a month of baseball? I doubt it. Honestly I think if an OF got hurt, you'd probably see Sanchez still get a call up, with Shuck/Bonifacio getting most of the PT in the OF. There is also a non-zero chance that Leury Garcia would get the call up as a guy who has more flexibility for the roster.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 6, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) Outfield depth? I'd guess that is near last on their list of priorities. Catching, starting pitching, skill infield are all higher right now. Maybe even relief pitching depending on who is out there. The only thing lower than outfield right now would be 1B. Think of it this way. If an OF goes down to injury, who is the next call up? That is why the Sox would be watching for OF depth. SP? No. They are looking to make room for Rodon as it is. That will push someone else into relief, and they just cleared a mediocre reliever off of the roster. Next SP up would be Scott Carroll. Odds are you won't find a better reliever on waivers then what Guerra gave you, and they would add him back if needed (assuming he isn't claimed). Skill IF? No. The next guy up is Sanchez, and it isn't even close. Catching? Sure. The odds of finding one are really, really low, especially when the Marlins couldn't get anything at all for Salty, even when being willing to eat his entire contract. OF is at the top of their depth list FOR SURE. Now the trade market would be a different thing. There I am sure they would love a 3B and C.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 6, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) White Sox roster stands at 39. Are they going to fill that spot or keep it handy? I am sure they are watching the waiver wire closely for outfield depth.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2015 -> 01:56 PM) Yeah, I was up to date as of opening day. Haven't heard a word since. Looking through Google News and twitter, there is absolutely nothing out there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2015 -> 01:23 PM) Then why fire the manager after they were finally playing better (5-5 over last ten, also won the weekend series convincingly)? Plus, they just gave him an extension through 2016. That whole sequence tells me the Brewers organization is a mess.

It would be nice to keep him around. He wasn't bad, but he wasn't one of our top options this year either. He would be a nice insurance policy.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 6, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) I would argue that Pau doesn't love Thibodeau. Probably likes playing here but love is a little strong. Pau has been on championship teams in which every regular season game wasn't taken as seriously as it is here. I don't doubt for one second that there have been times throughout the season in which Gasol disagrees with the way certain things take place. I am curious what the basis is for that?

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 6, 2015 -> 11:44 AM) I don´t want to hijack this thread, and we were all having this discussion elsewhere. However, since Carlos and Micah´s comparative performances at the Big League level have been mentioned, it might be worth while to consider this. What Carlos did last year, during his call up, probably does not accurately reflect his ability, because he was so young. When evaluating players his age, there should be some consideration given to his youth. He had just turned 22, when he was called up last year. That is very young to be playing in the Majors. What should be noted is how well he is adjusting to the higher levels, and how much he is improving. Of course, it´s all subjective, but my perception is that he is a quick study, and could very well justifiably be expected to perform better, if called up again, now as he approaches 23, which is still young, even at AAA. It is worth pointing out that Johnson as a college guy is not much older than Sanchez, and he has WAY less in terms of professional ABs. Sanchez in in his 3rd go around at AAA.
