QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) With the bench of Saladino, Navarro and Shuck, I'd guess Sands gets that last spot on the bench. Doubtful the Sox carry two LHB as outfielders on the bench. Shuck is bad vs RHP though. I think they are keeping Ishikawa.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 01:17 PM) Rollins has officially been added to the roster. We sit at 29 players with Ishikawa, Sands, Aumont, Jacob May, and Hector Sanchez still hanging around. Rollins basically takes Turner's spot so the 40 man stays at 37. If they keep Ishikawa, Sands will be DFA'd and Ishikawa takes his spot. 40 man stays at 37.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) The writing for what we have long suspected is on the wall. Curiosity question: who would you rather have had, LaRoche or Ishikawa? I'd rather have Ishikawa and the ability to spend the $13 million at some point.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) OL Manny Ramirez visiting the Bears Former Denver S and return man Omar Bolden is visiting Bears today as well. Would be a nice add. He's a really good return man.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 04:51 PM) If Nate Jones keeps up his dominance & Petricka, Putnam & Albers can continue to do what they usually do, they're are going to win a lot of games because of it. Not nearly as dominant is the Royals pen but even something like it is going to make them win games. Fangraphs thinks the White Sox pen is better than Kansas City's bullpen.

Fangraphs has the White Sox with the 5th best bullpen in baseball and the 6th best starting rotation. Very solid. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-positi...-pitchers-1-15/ http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-positi...rotations-1-15/

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) Unless Latos gets DL'd. Beat writers have basically said that Latos is starting Game 4 in Oakland already.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) My lineup would look like: Eaton RF Rollins SS Abreu 1B Frazier 3B Melky LF/DH Garcia LF/DH Lawrie 2B Avila C Jackson CF BE: Saladino, Navarro, Shuck, Ishikawa Sale SP Quintana SP Rodon SP Latos SP Danks SP Robertson CL Jones SU Duke SU Petricka RP Albers RP Jennings RP Carroll RP It'll be Putnam. Carroll starting in Charlotte

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) If they plan on taking another pitcher, I hope to god that it is not Turner. They will try to sneak Turner through waivers at the very end of camp with the goal to have him start in Charlotte. He makes $1.5 million though. I doubt anyone claims him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) The Lakers could get really good next season. I wonder Thibs took over, if there would be any chance they would be willing to trade Russell and whatever garbage would be needed to make it work for Butler. Thibodeau ends up in Minnesota in my opinion. That's the job he should hold out for.

QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) and i hate to compare them to another chi team, the sox. the same question was asked by jr to kw. this was even mention several yrs ago in the famious 3 yr plan interview, i think. but the owners ask of keeping the core together and get a couple other players. and i beilieve kw said no. rebuild. like that was a hard decision to make, but it was a right one, the same is now with the bulls. Kenny Williams won a championship though. John Paxson has won 5 playoff series in 14 years. It's enough.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:21 AM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 54s55 seconds ago Roster cuts today. Not official but Davidson, Carlos Sanchez, Leury Garcia, Kahnle, Coats appear to be among them. Seems like a bench of Shuck, Saladino, Navarro, and Ishikawa. Only questions now are whether Sands or Turner make it through waivers to Charlotte. I expect Aumont in the Charlotte bullpen as well.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:21 AM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 54s55 seconds ago Roster cuts today. Not official but Davidson, Carlos Sanchez, Leury Garcia, Kahnle, Coats appear to be among them. I would imagine that all 5 will be in Charlotte.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) Carlos Sanchez and Matt Davidson have been called into the Principal's office... Hopefully they are heading to Oakland for Josh Reddick.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 10:01 AM) I don't get the fascination with Ishikawa at all. No way should he be your DH and batting 6th to start the season. Ishikawa is a 32 year old journeyman with a .727 OPS and 95 wRC+ vs RHP in his career. He's not very good.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 09:06 PM) I remember when Jon Singleton signed that very "team-friendly " deal with the Astros and got criticized for passing up so much money. Well he is back in the minors and might have been the smart one. For every Longoria or Sale, there are stories like that where signing that early deal works out much better for the player. That's why you sign it. Singleton signed that deal because he was going to be suspended for pot in the minors.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) I just realized that the first pitch for opening day is going to be a 9 freaking 10 pm. Whatever happened to a day game for the first day of baseball? That absolutely sucks. We are on Spring Break that week. I actually love it.

I'm 4th and the game earlier is the only one I've watched so far.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) Both teams really overthought passing on Carlos Rodon. They did. Neither of those teams would have gotten him for the $6.5 million that the Sox got him for though.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 25, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) $1.5 mill. Someone will claim him or we'll release him I'm sure. That amount is nothing. I still think Turner ends up starting in Charlotte. He'll clear waivers and go down.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) I am 100% convinced if Wentz / Goff are there when Bears are on the clock, we are picking. I also wouldn't be shocked if we ended up with Lynch. I think we are getting QB somewhere in first two rounds. Pace supposedly loves Wentz. He would take him at #11. He'll be gone though. This would shock some people but I think if Elliott is on the board, they'll probably take him depending on what else is there.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) With the move more than likely meaning they won't draft Goff/Wentz, and San Fran now the only team likely to take a QB in the top 10, would you go QB in the first? Has there ever been a top 15 pick taken to be a backup for a year or 2? Browns will still draft Carson Wentz at #2

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 12:01 PM) Why not? EJ has no future here and Danks, Turner, and Latos are lottery tickets. I wouldn't mind bringing back Floyd just for depth. There isn't a spot. Danks and Latos are the 4/5 starters.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 11:44 AM) It would have been interesting to see if LaRoche had happened first, if any of those moves would have changed with the extra 40 man spot. Actually, I was wrong. Phillips wasn't claimed. He turned down the minor league assignment.
