Chicago White Sox

Looks like Hays will be showcasing in AAA for the next week.

I’m not ready to make that call, but if they want to go that path, then the point holds and he builds up innings at Charlotte.

We are officially one week out from the trade deadline. The Sox themselves will be busy with seven straight games against the Yankees & Rays and that’s with no off days. Short of a massive blow-up this coming week, I think the motions are already in order for Getz to be an aggressive buyer. Two items of interest here. First, there is a roster move coming today and it will be Hays or Pereira replacing Junior Perez as RH hitting outfielder. Hays is on the 60 Day IL so if it’s him getting the call, then he’ll push our 40 man roster to the full amount. If it’s Pereira, we won’t run into that situation just yet. Either way, we can’t keep both of them and Grichuk, meaning one of them will be let go in some form over the next week. Second, the trade for Urquidy also had a roster implication. While I fully expect him to be just AAA depth as we shift McDougal & Hagen to relief roles to end the season, it does add to the roster crunch. Drew Thorpe is the one guy on the 60 Day IL who looks like they will need to come off before season end. It’s also possible that Hagen, Mason Adams, or even Pallette will need to get added. The real crunch will come this offseason, but I’d expect some fat to be trimmed at the deadline.

He knows position players well.

I think it’s got to be higher than 100. I don’t recall them saying Schultz would have a massive innings restriction on him this year. He’s got 12 turns left in the rotation and at 5 innings per start that would put him at 140 total on the season. May guess is they use off days to skip two starts and land him around 130.

We face two LHPs in the four game series vs. the Yankees. Right now, it looks like we’ll miss the Rays’ two LHPs. It won’t be a big showcase, but teams are desperate for RH hitting. Assuming Hays gets the call, he really needs to make these couple of starts count.

I like this very pro White Sox version of Keith Law.

Interesting trade. Doesn’t really help with the roster crunch. Definitely feels like this is just to add some AAA depth with several guys moving out of the rotation.

Who we thinking between Hays & Pereira?

and here we go….

I don’t disagree…lol

Oh god…not sure who I got him confused with. Never mind then.

Do you go Dominguez in the 9th or nine runs not enough cushion?

So good to have Murakami finally get that rust off

Wow…couldn’t even toot my own horn before Murakami got us to five!

That would he a sweet outcome. My guess though is we are looking prospects who are closer to org guys. Hope I’m wrong and pleasantly surprised with a bit more than that.

Was going to ask if anyone knows how he is behind the plate because he’s putting up big numbers and for a catcher I don’t think 23 is crazy old for High A. He was an undrafted free agent so couldn’t find much about him on Baseball America.

Thanks for sharing…super interested to see what we get here.

Fucking huge

Has he fallen off or is it just normal baseball streakiness? He’s a short side platoon player so not exactly huge sample sizes.

I think rehab assignments can last 20 days so basically you can call up one and let the other stay in AAA until the deadline. You’d still have to trade or DFA one of them, but having an seven or eight days would be valuable.

They should probably leave one in AAA until the deadline. It’s going to be an awkward scenario because they know there isn’t room for both of them so not sure how they communicate who gets priority when the time comes.

@ron883 - Stealing a HR is as good as hitting one. I will let you be 2/4 right now.

Absolute killer there

Need at least two here.
