QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 01:27 PM) I'd prefer Avi batting 5th, but maybe he will on Monday. However this Charlotte lineup today may be our Opening Day lineup. Based on recent spring training games, this is Monday's lineup.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) Good God, seeing it on paper it really hits home of how important Johnson is going to be to the bottom of the order. If he doesnt exceed expectations it will be a huge whole in the lineup for the bottom three. We really need to see Gillaspie not be terrible too. Make the routine plays, hit .275 with 10 homers, and knock in some sac flys when needed.

Monday looks real good in KC. Wednesday and Thursday...not so much. Next Friday is typical OD Weather. mid -50's, maybe some rain.

Terrible. Cheer up, people.

Released today

Penny and Carroll have been reassigned to minor league camp.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 12:07 PM) Or maybe they want to give him more opportunities to show that he's MLB ready before the season. It's also amusing how whoever makes those always misspells "Putnam". Good catch. Which reminds me, I CANNOT STAND how Rongey says Putnam wrong.

https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/583669195511967744 Read into this meaning Drabek is #7 in the pen?

I really hope Hawkins is 1. Not saying he will, but that would be great.

Alexei batting 5th on Monday?

KC on Monday- 77 and cloudy & windy The rest of the time in KC looks ok. Charlotte is sunny and 80 tomorrow. Chicago next Friday- Sunny and 54 Saturday is sunny and 61

Robertson gives up a 2-out walk and homer. 25 hours left out there.

Eh, he's fine. Pitch Monday.

Samardzija given up two runs so far in the first inning. Can Monday get here now, please.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 02:38 PM) They can go: 4/11 Shark 4/12 Sale 4/13 off 4/14 quintana 4/15 danks or noesi 4/16 off 4/17 sale 4/18 shark 4/19 quintana And have noesi and then danks which would have been original thought of rotation Just a hunch, but I'm guessing Sale's second start will be on 5 days rest. Then starting on 4/18 it's the intended opening day rotation: Sale, Samardzija, Quintana, Danks, Noesi

Well, Sanchez will be easy to send down when Sale/Petricka comes off the DL. Other than that, I don't get it.

Looks like it's down to 2 of: Sanchez if they take another position player Surkamp Cleto Drabek Penny Asencio Leon I'd take Surkamp and Drabek, but whatever.

Penny scratched because he's ill. uh huh. Carroll will start today instead.

Rodon (and Crain) have been reassigned to minor league camp.
