May needs to upgrade the uni number. 1, 23, and 49 are available. 44 too.

Leury scratched with "flu like symptoms". I think it's time teams stop using this phrase. Past its usefulness.

Good career. Definitely made his mark in Sox history. He'll do great as a network analyst.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 28, 2017 -> 12:26 PM) I'm going with Swarzak then. Lineup- Saladino, Anderson, Abreu, Cabrera, Frazier, Garcia, Asche, Narvaez, May Bench- Sanchez, L Garcia, Davidson, Soto Rotation- Quintana, Shields, Holland, Gonzalez, Covey Bullpen- Ynoa, Swarzak, Putnam, Jennings, Petricka, Jones, Robertson DL- Minaya, Tilson, Rodon Still to be cut- Burdi, K Smith, E Cabrera, Delmonico, Hayes, Liriano

A little surprised Luebke didn't make it as a second lefty, but it's a long season. Chances are he'll be one of the 25 pitchers the Sox use this season.

https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/846758941673476097 Leury was originally in RF. Schnurbusch starting instead.

Hardly knew ye. Welcome to the show, Jacob May.

5-2 win 16-14-1 Can't have a losing Cactus League. Highlight of the year.

Saladino's X-ray was good. Petricka getting his hand X-rayed, but said "seems ok", per Van Schouwen.

QUOTE (SouthWallace @ Mar 27, 2017 -> 05:27 PM) Petricka takes a liner off his pitching arm. Leaves after 1 batter. He pitched the 7th inning, so hopefully just precautionary.

Sanchez homer. 3-2 Sox

But what does Bruce Levine think?

First pitch a week from now. Quintana, right?

Saladino was hit in the right wrist this morning. Sore, but should be ok.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 27, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) I think you've mentioned this minor trade a few times that would result in a shorter bench and deeper pen. What are you thinking exactly? Maybe Leury or Sanchez. Or even Davidson. Nothing major. But it could be Covey starts vs Minnesota, and then his arm magically hurts a little.

That would seem to be the roster, but I think there's a chance they'll make a minor trade that ends up with 3 on the bench and 8 in the pen. The starters really aren't that stretched out, and let's face it, not that good (besides Q). Going to be a lot of faux pitching injuries this year with the 10-day DL.

Looks like Shields will start Friday, and Holland and Gonzalez will both pitch Saturday.

I hope Benetti is in and out after a few years. There, I said it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 26, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) Shields is so bad. Still will never understand how they decided to make that trade Hopefully it will be known as the last stupid move of the Era that just ended.

Nice relay. Jimmy Rollins, give it up man.

Walking boot for three more weeks.
