Ok, Rodon time...

In case you missed it, Melton said he does these games because he lives out there the Sox asked him to. "What, am I going to say no?" So it's clear he'd rather not do them, not that it's a surprise.

Oh sure, now cut the mic.

This made my day.

Bill just found out.

Somebody tweeted Deadspin about this.

Robin went 0-41 in 1990, not to start his career in 1989. Ok, we're good on that now.

Somebody tweeted the white sox about the live mic. Which one of you is Frank?

This is awesome...

You know somebody is going to tip them off on their open mics.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 02:01 PM) I went into the webcast an hour early cause I thought the game started at 2pm. It's just Bill Melton talking to someone while they adjust the cameras. I don't think they know we can hear them. Weird stuff. Ha. f bomb didn't take long there.

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/112223156/wi...eams-in-one-day It's the 6:05 game on whitesox.com. Rumor is he'll catch for the White Sox. That should be hilarious..and hopefully only a pitch or two.

They'll probably add that video here...not there yet http://m.mlb.com/network/shows/?id=mlbn_high_heat

KW optimistic about Sale starting April 12, but ruled out opening day.

Looks like the lineup has been changed. Beckham is off. Saladino at SS. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/575682194812760066 Pitching schedule the next couple days https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/575682187594366976

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) White Sox lineup: Bonifacio CF, Cabrera LF, LaRoche 1B, Garcia RF, Gillaspie 3B, Beckham SS, Brantly C, Soto DH, Sanchez 2B. Rodon P https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/575680196742807552 will Ferrell is tomorrow by the way Ah, ok. My bad.

Here's the lineup Rodon is facing. https://twitter.com/JeffWilson_FWST/status/...670847890853888

Looking at Rodon, I see a lot of comparison to David Price in terms of career path. Price was drafted in 2007, but didn't play. In 2008, his Age 22 season, he made 19 starts at various levels, and went 110 innings. Then he made his Rays debut in mid-Septmber, and basically was a reliever for the postseason run, and got 20 more innings. Total- 130 innings Then he went back to AAA to start the 2009 season, Age 23. He made 8 starts/34 innings, and an unspectacular 3.93 ERA, but was called up in mid-May. He then made 23 starts for the Rays, over 128 innings, and had his struggles--4.42 ERA. Total- 162 innings Then he went on to have several great seasons starting at Age 24, with mostly 200+ innings. He had one year where he missed about 6 starts. The Rays went 105-65 in his starts. If the Sox are getting Rodon for 6-7 years, let's play this right. He's 22, and has 24 minor league innings under his belt. He needs innings, and there should be no rush to move him up. My hope is that they really don't need him before September, but can use him for their own postseason run. You never know what the need will be during the season, but at the very least get about 40-50 innings in the minors before thinking about calling him up.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 05:22 PM) Are they giving Beckham any time at short? Beckham is starting at SS tomorrow.

Tomorrow is White Sox day on MLB Tonight-- 6pm.

Easy decision, and a decision that's already been made. Micah Johnson is the 2B, and he will be all year, batting 9th. Get used to it.
