I hate running there. TA swings at a high pitch way out of the zone.

Ruiz and Kelly make sense to me.

Tripped on his gold glove.

Gavin should have killed that hanger

Sosa 2-2 with a walk.

Haseley double. 2-2.

Charlotte ready for mlb action. Single by Haseley steals second, single by Burger, Sosa walks… leave the bases loaded. Questionable strike on Perez changed inning.

Burger at 1st instead of third. Lenyn at 2nd instead of short. Hamilton and Marisnick in the outfield. It is so weird seeing a Sox affiliate prioritize defense. It’s making me dizzy.

Catcher is primarily a defensive position. Zavala should catch a lot. He might get into 80 games this year, if you include taking Grandal out for pinch runners. Seby’s a real decent back up, hitting eighth. If they use him correctly, Grandal can stay fresh for the stretch run. Therefore, I believe Zavala will start against plenty of righties.

Personally, I would have Grandal catch tonight. Seby catch Saturday, then Grandal catch Sunday. But I could see alternating and not having Grandal catch two in a row during the early part of the year.

He’s getting $11 mil for not working the next two years. Tony is his butler.

I believe you are correct.

And, one assumes, 475 agents.

Roster is up now. https://www.milb.com/charlotte-knights/roster Average age might be higher than the Sox. Interesting that Cespedes is in AA. There are potential MLB contributors down there like Burger, Martin, Haseley, Stiever?, German, they like Johan Dominguez, so maybe. Prospectwise, it's basically Sosa and Burke. Everybody else is in Birmingham.

That was so predictable, it hurts. What a cheap ER for Cease.

Or a hitter.

Romy is their back up outfielder.

I like Clark and Jenkins, so I think Cincy is picking in the third tier of the draft. Sucks to be them, I suppose. But they got Cam Collier in the teens last draft, so hard to say how things will play out.

Ugh. Here we go again. Hopefully, they just wanna give Romy at bats.

Avila just didn't show enough to justify the roster spot. With so many guys out of options, he Sox need to have guys like Santos, Lambert, Banks, German, etc. that they can cycle through during periods of heavy use/injury. Avila would be another guy who essentially is without options.

Burgcata sounds like the sequel to Gymkata that takes place at a Wendy's.

Really liked the back field article by Jim Callis. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/news/chicago-white-sox-spring-training-prospect-report Sounds like Loidel Chapelli is going to W-S and that Mena is the star of camp.

Mieses hit that ball hard. Tough hill to climb for him if he is primarily 1b though.

Another beautiful DP by Anderson and Andrus.
