They have a ton of guys to serve as ST catchers. They didn't hold a spot all winter for that, and if they did, we have much bigger problems.

And if you aren't willing to play him to see if he can improve, why is he taking up a 40 man slot all this time when you could have had another guy you like better?

Injury or DFA?

This. Plus it sounds like he might have been exposed a bit when he got to high level competition. Let the kid simmer until he forces the issue. No need to rush him to start his clock on what is probably going to be a 90ish loss team.

For me, most of his future is his health. It's never good when a dude of his size and age is already having back problems, but that is the easiest way for his career to be derailed quickly.

Maybe it could get stretched into something like a 25 A ball reliever, but yeah, the point is this is almost certainly going to be nothing.

Again, these things typically sort themselves out over the course of a season, but please don't Rodon this if you are the White Sox. They seem to be very heavily leaning Roch at this point, but we have almost three months to still go.

Judging by what other back up catchers have gone for, especially flawed ones, I would be shocked if this was anything more than Mr Considerations here.

Guessing they need the 40 man roster spot with the other injuries potentially requiring other adds. Either that, or they have never liked him, and they finally take the cash considerations for him instead of wasting a roster spot again.

And that none of these moves can actually be wrong. The usual suspects carrying the usual water. A week ago I got told that they couldn't afford the million dollars to replace Benny on the roster. Now this. New GM, same cheap Jerry.

And we sat on Drew Romo all winter.

A week ago the reason we couldn't release Benny was because of the extra million dollars it would take to replace him on the roster... and then we do this.

And I am always entertained by your pseudo-methamphedamine posts.

But plenty of regress

You guys did it for Clevinger 3 times!

And their utter inability to help whatever it is.

Hahahahaha

WHY THO? We just pissed away a 40 man roster spot in our strongest position in the organization. Brilliant. Can't wait to hear why this is 4d chess.

The Sox don't even need to "pass" the Cubs. Just building the fanbase past the leagues worst revenue generation machine has to happen. Building new fans has to happen. Getting people who show up for something other than playoff seasons has to happen. A new park in an active neighborhood with things to do will help immensely.

Do they need it with guys like Baldwin and Teel needing IL spots and replacements?

No one does with the value of defense in the modern era.

And there is nothing to do there, unless you want to go to a museum.

Which, unfortunately, does NOT bring all the boys to the yard, as judging by our near league worst attendance.

Looks like Palette is going to break camp with Cleveland.
