QUOTE (soxfan18 @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Won't be any worse than a 1 o'clock game on a work day. Which makes me wonder why they couldn't move Opening Day to Sunday (today-for everyone). Then if some teams want the built-in off day on Monday, then that's fine. There really is no good reason not to do it today, and then teams have a couple early off days in case the weather is bad.

Great weather for the whole series. Landing in Chicago Thursday night should be a brutal welcome home for the team. 40 on Friday? Skip Danks. Home opener on Saturday with Sale. Do it!

17-13-1 spring training. Doesn't mean anything, but I think they had a decent ST, except for the one issue--and even that's a positive if you ask me.

Trey M double, Sands single, Avi single 9-2. Ha. Ok, we get it.

2-run double for Ishikawa. 7-2.

RBI for Jacob May. 5-2. He could make it up this year.

Ground rule double for Hector Sanchez. 4-2. Sox will surely need him this year.

Anderson with a couple hits off Guthrie

Michalczewski double, and Anderson RBI. 3-2 Sox, top 6.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) He's had a pretty good spring. Should be getting a ton of at bats It would be delicious crow if he puts six good months together, with passable defense.

Avi homer

Sox-A's at 9pm central, while Cubs-Angels, and the NCAA championship are going on...this could be the least watched opening day game ever. (I may be exaggerating.)

Eaton DH, Saladino SS, Abreu 1B, Frazier 3B, Cabrera LF, Garcia RF, Lawrie 2B, Shuck CF, Navarro C Nobody get hurt.

https://twitter.com/Braves/status/716311226364653568 The Braves are a 100-loss team now, and they are going to be worse in August and September.

Michael Bourn got DFA too. That was a weird trade.

Bump, if you want to add yours, or change anything. I gotta change my Avila answer.

Danks vs Pomeranz, then up to Oakland! ...and it's snowing.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 1, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) He is what he is at this point unfortunately He's taken too many beatings back there. I could see him coaching a college or minor league team within a few years.

Abreu is going to have a monster season if he plays 155 games. .310/40/120

Avila worries me. I hope he's not a complete bust.

There will be plenty of roster moves all year. I wouldn't worry about Sands making it to OD. Somebody will be coming up at the end of April when Eaton is out on Paternity. They may just bring up another arm for a few days then too.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 1, 2016 -> 06:38 PM) I think that 25 spot changes tho after the off day. There was talk that they will probably been needing to go to a 13th pitcher with the 17 straight games. So I'm guessing someone time on the roster is temporary They play 19 straight after the one off day on the 12th. Maybe they keep Sands now because it would be easier to outright him after the season begins rather than now when a team would claim him.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 1, 2016 -> 06:34 PM) Good reporting quinarvy He had a 50% shot at being right. No offense, just the truth.

https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/716021050685923329 Regulars, Eaton in RF, Avi on the bench, Latos hitting 9th.
