QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 02:14 PM) Why does Saladino sit so often? Great question. I have no problem with Sanchez on the roster, but he should not be play more than 1x per week at the expense of Tyler.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) what happened to Soto? DL. Elbow soreness.

Other sources, including Merkin, reporting it now. Seems Melky will go on paternity list tomorrow, and most likely, Willy Garcia comes up.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 01:42 PM) : Yah, its ugly. Its going to be even worse this weekend when Melky is gone.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 01:41 PM) Chicago White Sox @whitesox 7s #WhiteSox are expected to place Melky Cabrera on Paternity List on Friday. Melky is expected to be reinstated on Monday for the NY series. possibly why maybe Big Willy Style might be getting called up (or why we saw that out there today)? ....and they delete it a minute later. lol

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) They should cancel all three right now, and play 159. Yah, the Sox should just go back to Chicago!

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 11:06 AM) We were at 39 correct? Correct

Release

NM, beat me to it

Go Sox! In somewhat unrelated news, the weather in Minneapolis is supposed to be terrible this weekend. Tomorrow looks like a near for sure washout. Saturday isn't much better. Disappointing as I have tickets for both.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 10:38 AM) Just to stir the rumor cauldron, you think it's possible the Sox cut bait with Frazier and give 3B to Davidson? Frazier doesn't really have value at the moment and he hasn't looked good at the plate. At this point ( can't believe I'm saying this), Davidson just might be more productive now and in the near future than Frazier. We know there's no future with Frazier but there is the slight possibility of Davidson having a future with the rebuilding Sox. Not the I'm holding my breath. Zero chance. They'll give Todd every chance to regain some value over the next few months. Someone will trade for him in June/July. I wouldn't expect much, but they'll get something for him. They're not just going to cut bait 7 games into the season, especially after his last game was by far his best.

Yankess RHP James Kaprielian is getting TJS.

He has spent a little time in CF in the minors, but not much. My guess is it wouldn't be too pretty.

Nothing we didn't know, but Sickels posted a little write up on Davidson this morning. Sickel's on Davidson

Hmmm.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 10:30 PM) I 'm glad Jones didn't completely melt down because I would've seriously second guessed the decision to take Swarzak out after he looked sharp. I already questioned not pinch running for Soto yesterday as soon as he got on late in the game. No sense worrying about being down to your last catcher at that point 2 questionable managerial calls this early in the season wouldn't be good and I am not even counting letting May hit at least one time he shouldn't have. My guess is they're saving Swarzak for Friday when Covey starts. Can't imagine him going any deeper than 4 innings.

Robertson looks unreal right now.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 07:36 PM) At least Jose saw more than 1 pitch that inning. He had like a 15 pitch at bat earlier today..

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:55 PM) Salazar just aced our lineup...that was embarrassing Sure did. Good thing Holland is outpitching him.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:27 PM) You missed a Tyler Saladino/Cal Ripken Jr comparison lol To be fair he was just comparing their ability to get in front of the ball on D.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 05:57 PM) Hawk is f***ing rambling. Jesus. Give me Hawk over Bennetti all day long.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 05:38 PM) Not a fan of that play at all. Just let Saladino hit the damn ball and not steal Garcia I personally love it. Teams like this need to do that to win.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) Moncada, Perez, and Kopech look like beasts down in the minors. Its been a good first week and a half overall, sucks that its a long season though. Who is Perez? Assuming you talking about Lopez. The K's are nice, but he has pitched 3 innings and 5 1/3, innings in his two starts. ERA 6.50. 7 walks. I am super excited for Lopez, but he hasn't exactly been great so far.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 02:53 PM) I'm really hoping Saladino continues to put up good numbers. He's not off the charts but he seems pretty serviceable as a 5th infielder (post Moncada callup) What were we expecting from him organizationally before last year? Love the avatar pic! Well done.
