Walk off walk for Tolleson. And now he'll be sent to the minors.

Alexei day-to-day. Right shoulder contusion.

No update on Alexei. I'm going to assume no news is good news.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 27, 2013 -> 03:46 PM) Careful there - look at his peripherals. He's done well, but having more walks than K's isn't sustainable with a low ERA for long. He's been good keeping the hits at bay though. I'll see your peripherals, and raise you a sample size. The K/BB was good last year for Omo. He seems to know what he's doing out there. I have a feeling Crain will avoid the DL now, but he'll get there eventually and Omogrosso will be the first guy up.

With the way Omogrosso pitched this spring, I kinda want Crain to get lit up here, and go on the DL.

Alexei got hit the shoulder. Left the game. Wonderful.

Tim McCarver leaving Fox after 2013. Bout time.

Santiago will start Friday night in Milwaukee. Floyd and Axelrod will pitch Saturday. It will be interesting to see if they give some starts to Santiago. A 20-day stretch in April without an off day and Danks not ready, I wouldn't mind if they go 6-man during that time and see if Santiago pitches his way into the rotation.

Last one...A .500 Cactus League is on the line today. Huge game. http://baseballpress.com/lineup.php

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 27, 2013 -> 09:25 AM) So tell me... When does John Danks take the bump for the White Sox for the first time this season? I'll answer my own question...I hope May 3rd, and he's still able to make 27 starts this season.

So tell me... When does John Danks take the bump for the White Sox for the first time this season?

It's going to be a cold first week of baseball. Just hope they get all the games in and come away with at least four wins. With the new schedule being only one series home and away against the other two divisions and more interleague play, this could be the year of the makeup game. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/chicago-i...?monyr=4/1/2013

Axelrod officially named 5th starter. He'll start vs Felix Hernandez on April 6th.

I'm really liking what I've seen from Viciedo this spring. He seems more closed and waiting on the ball longer. The leg kick may have done the trick. http://www.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?c_id=cws...0130326_6668724

Hawk and Steve praising the coaching staff--ok, great. How are we getting that 89th win this year?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 26, 2013 -> 04:02 PM) Not worried, just curious what the thought process is, on how they decide these things. Since they can use minor leaguers in games anyway, and there are players who already know they won't make it barring injury... why the theater? Why bother announcing reassignments at all? Yeah, I'm not sure what goes into that. Like, why did they option Jordan Danks and Blake Tekotte at the same time, but they've brought Brandon Short and Stefan Gartrell up from minor league since then? Don't know.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 26, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) I don't get keeping Tolleson and Bell in camp, they aren't getting jobs for OD. Anderson I get, they always keep a 3rd catcher around in AZ. Omogrosso and Troncoso are in the running for Crain's spot if he isn't ready... but Gray? I wouldn't really read into too much. They'll probably be down to 27 or 28 by the time they get on the plane tomorrow.

Sox face Dice-K tomorrow. That should get them to Chicago around midnight.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 26, 2013 -> 02:55 PM) So there are no roster decisions to make? Not really. The only thing up in the air is if Crain will be ready. If he can't go, I think Omogrosso has an edge on Troncoso.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 26, 2013 -> 02:37 PM) Who are the extra six left in camp right now? Omogrosso, one of the catchers (Phegley I think), and who else? Gray, Omogrosso, Troncoso, Anderson (not Phegley) Tolleson, Bell

Danks and Septimo placed on the 15-day DL. Purcey reassigned to minor league camp. 31 left in camp.

Rios isn't worried about being ready for opening day. https://twitter.com/DanHayesCSN/status/316587311204810752

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 26, 2013 -> 11:11 AM) You must have been looking at the wrong day, yesterday the projected high was 41 for Monday, but 54 for Sunday and 52 for Tuesday. Today the Monday high down to 38...yikes. Yep, it's been downgraded since then. I look at accuweather. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/chicago-i...?monyr=4/1/2013 Hopefully they are able to play Wednesday and Thursday, otherwise it will mean a doubleheader in late July.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 26, 2013 -> 10:54 AM) Good news, Rick Porcello named as Tigers 5th starter. Watch him get traded in the next few days.

Royals announce Mendoza as their 5th starter. Chen to the bullpen. Sox will face Shields, Santana, and Guthrie. You know Shields will tweek something in the bullpen before the game, and Chen will come in for 7 shutout innings.
