QUOTE (Condor13 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Melky is not a 2-hole hitter. It will come down to Lawrie or Rollins and the way Ventura has been using his lineup make me belive it's gonna be Lawrie. Hasn't Rollins been in the 2-hole as well when he has played?

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 01:01 PM) 2016 comes out in a few weeks. But, I doubt I can nag/bribe my wife for her to "allow" me to buy ANOTHER game. Last week it was Primal... then yesterday, I dropped $90 on the gold edition of The Division. Maybe I'll wait it out for a used copy. I always sell the old "The Show" games in Jamiary/February on ebay and get around $20 for them. It feels like a discount for the next one. My bday is also in mid-March and mostly get cash for my bday (besides from my gf) so that also helps.

Let's just give Sanchez as a spot on the team.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 02:53 PM) So I updated MLB The Show 15 to newest rosters recently, and have been playing a few games. I realize, that while this team isn't fully loaded, it's way better than last year. Playing with that roster last year, there were multiple non-MLB level players in the everyday starting lineup. With the Jackson addition, we have extras on the bench. We also have a hell of a pitching staff. Anyway, I think the Sox are going to contend this year. What's your psn? Let's play some time. Love the show.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 04:45 PM) People are going to be wanting to see more Avi over Jackson this season. But potentially more Jackson over LaRoche.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 08:03 AM) Yeah, not all of Davidson, Olt, Ishikawa, Delmonico and Hayes will be there for two positions plus some DH time. A couple will be elsewhere or in BHAM, and I don't think any of the first three belong in AA. But Delmonico needs to be challenged or he becomes a 40-man add after the year, and Hayes looks ready for AAA (and age-wise he should be there). My guess is Olt is gone by April, not sure about what happens with the other four. For the sake of filling out a lineup, Olt I guess could go to AA to DH of backup 1B/3B.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0307-story.html Cooper won't give out why they are keeping Latos from games right now Other than one article a few weeks ago, I haven't seen anything about healthy concerns. Could just be a to keep him fresh longer. Spring training is long afterall.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) I'm thinking Olt/ Ishikawa platoon at 1B for the Knights. Oh yeah forgot Ishikawa. Plus he can DH a bit and get some time at third.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 07:18 PM) Yea, hard to complain about a 90 win year. Pitching was bad which is what held us back and what I'm complaining about. Winning 90 games was definitely impressive.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) Didn't we win like 94 that year? I think it was 91 and a third place finish. Edit: checked. it is indeed 90 as posted above me.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 06:50 PM) Remember 2006? Power was fun. Yep. Stupid pitching (that year).

Current lineups I have are: vs RHP Eaton LF/RF (depends on what they decide to do with him position wise) Cabrera RF/LF Abreu 1B Frazier 3B LaRoche DH Lawrie 2B Avila mostly C Jackson CF Rollins/Saladino (whoever wins) SS vs LHP Eaton LF/RF Cabrera DH/RF/LF (maybe Rollins even if he has a strong spring) Abreu 1B Frazier 3B Lawrie 2B Navarro C Garcia RF/LF/DH Jackson CF Rollins/Saladino SS If they decide to go with Sands to let Avi work on his new stance/mechanics in the minors, that's perfectly fine with me too.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) Remember this? Lol yeah that's pretty bad.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 01:21 PM) This is way worse than what Eaton said... I hate how everyone just laughs at Kawasaki like..."oh hey, look at that Asian FOB doing Asian things, SO FUNNY!". The Japanese headbands just makes it even worse. Kawasaki's gotta realize that they're laughing at him...not with him, right? I can't wait for the stupid ass bleacher bums to show up in racist Japanese gear again. Turns out Kawasaki is the one who supplied the headbands for him teammates.

QUOTE (VAfan @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 09:41 AM) Shuck is going to get AB against righties, with Jackson sitting down. Jackson's splits are not so good against RH, and Shuck didn't hit lefties well last year. It won't be a platoon, but that's who Shuck will replace, with Eaton moving to CF for those games. I expect Shuck to get into a bunch of games we're winning late for Melky and Avi.

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:34 PM) He's 24. He should be getting regular at bats, and as much time in the outfield as possible. The problem is that's not going to happen in the majors. If the White Sox want to see him develop to his full potential he needs to be in AAA. Especially since he is working on his mechanics.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:28 PM) I really don't think there's a chance Avi goes to the minors I don't think so either but you can make a case for why he should or could.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:24 PM) So who gets cut from roster to make room for Jackson. Will have to make another roster move for opening day to put Rollins on too. Olt is a no doubter.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:20 PM) I would be perfectly fine with Garcia starting the year in AAA and Sands serving as LaRoche's platoon partner. Me too. And if LaRoche tanks again or gets hurt, you can call up a guy in Garcia who's been getting regular every day reps.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:19 PM) Do wonder if this creates LaRoche / Avi platoon, or if Avi still gets plenty of starts in the OF and Melky to DH more often. Well it could do both. LaRoche DH against righties. Melky DH with Avi in the outfield against lefties.

Theoretically they could potentially send Garcia to AAA since he is working on a new stance/mechanics or I guess trade him.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 6, 2016 -> 05:06 PM) Does this move take Shuck out of the 4th outfielder position? If Avi is on the team as well, I just can't see the Sox carrying 5 outfielders at the same time. Why not? They kept 3 1B one year. Shuck can serve as a late inning defensive replacement for Cabrera/Garcia.

As I've been saying for the past few weeks, looks like it was more about playing time than about money.

I bet Latos and Danks will get the final 2 spots but Turner will be stashed in the pen as a long reliever/emergency starter until a spot opens. They won't dfa him with the risk of losing him if he continues to impress.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Thompson? Crawford?
