QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 08:01 AM) Neither are MLB-ready in my view. I think the smart move in a rebuild is to allow both of them to get solid in AAA first. Leury gains nothing from being in AAA anyway. I think there is an argument for May to make the team and as much as I want him to, I have a feeling he goes to AAA (for how long, who knows). Last spot will be Garcia as a backup infielder/outfielder or another reliever (they did carry an extra one most of last season).

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 03:23 PM) Updated after Tilson injury news... LINEUP SS Anderson 2B Saladino 1B Abreu LF Cabrera 3B Frazier DH Davidson RF Avisail CF Bourjos C Narvaez BENCH Soto (C, as a platoon with Narvaez) Sanchez (middle INF) Liriano (OF) L Garcia (UTIL) ROTATION Quintana Rodon Shields Gonzalez Holland BULLPEN Robertson Jones Jennings (L) Putnam Petricka Covey Ynoa or Luebke (L) - I can't decide Ynoa being out of options made me lean towards him since someone would scoop him up.

Updated my original post on first page.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 03:05 PM) Honestly both could. Sanchez back up infielder with leury back up infielder/outfielder. Probably still carry 4th outfielder anyway Yeah with a rotating DH, it's possible.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 02:03 PM) He probably is out of options, but he's in camp as a non-roster invitee on a minor league contract, so it doesn't matter. The Sox will be able to send him to the minors if he doesn't break camp with the team, which in turn means they'll have to clear a roster spot on the 40-man if they do want him on the big league club. Ah yeah that's right. For some reason I kept thinking we claimed him.

Anyone buy an external hard drive for their ps4 yet?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 01:58 PM) I wouldn't mind it. Don't see any upside with Bourjous in CF I agree about Bourjos. May has played well this spring (so far) and looks like he may deserve it.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 01:55 PM) I think this will help Davidson, Liriano, and Ynoa break camp. For some reason I thought Asche was out of options. But yeah I think you're right. I think the Tilson injury may help Liriano as well as I think he is borderline, options or not.

I have a feeling we will be seeing May in CF on Opening Day.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) Rockies PR @RockiesPR An MRI revealed #Rockies C Tom Murphy suffered a hairline fracture of his right forearm Saturday. Estimated recovery time is 4-6 weeks. Norris signing in 3...2...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) I am not saying Saladino is bad or anything, but I also think he is the tallest midget on a team devoid of hope at the major league level. I think he will make a career out of being a fringe starter and utility player. While that has value, we aren't talking about anything with REAL value. I think he could actually be a good starter. Especially if he were a starting SS or 2B on a deep offensive team. But yeah, as of now, I would say he's not worth much in a trade.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 10:46 AM) At this very moment in time? Maybe a Spencer Adams type. But that can all change if he lights it up next year. If Saladino were on another team, you would deal Spencer Adams for him? A guy who has been good in a backup role but hasn't proven anything as an everyday player (not his fault; he is good with the glove however). It'll be awesome to see him get steady time this upcoming season.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 10:55 AM) Fixed again. I could see Jones going next off-season or next trade deadline.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) Move Quintana, Frazier, Robertson, Cabrera and leave Moncada in the minors and we're golden. As close to the bottom as I'm willing to get. Fixed.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 09:57 AM) I think Brewers are going to have a nice jump this year to 75 wins, even in that division. Padres I see being one of those teams that has an abysmal first half and people stop paying attention then have a surprisingly competent second half that takes them out of last place. I still think last place could be a team nobody suspects (like last year) and I'd put it on the marlins. Easily. I see them finishing last in that division. All it really takes is for an annual Stanton dl-stint. Braves and Phillies I would think will improve slightly.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 09:49 AM) Duke was incredible for the Cards... Yeah in his 2 months there. This season, he's out for the year, the final year of his contract.

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 08:32 AM) Meadows is still my personal favorite as well. (I don't care as much about Glasnow) And it makes so much sense for Pittsburgh, with their glut of OFs already! Oh well... A resurgent year from McCutchen in RF could make him expendable. Guess we'll see come mid-season!

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 08:09 PM) I thought the reason it was noteworthy is because batting average can't go above 1 while ERA can. So a .300 batting average is equivalent to a 0.30 ERA, not a 3.00 ERA. Ah I get what you're saying. I didn't really look at it that way since, as you said l, can't go over 1.000 in regards to batting avg. But just looking at the 3 numbers ignoring the decimal I guess. 255 era 300 avg.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 05:26 PM) So who do we expect to start CF come opening day Wouldn't mind Liriano getting time out there.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) Explain? So a good pitcher should have an ERA well under 1? I get what he's saying. If you're a good hitter and good pitcher, your average is likely higher. Example: 2.50 era and .300 batting avg.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 11, 2017 -> 07:23 PM) Poor Baltimore. Never get a mention. To be fair, their pitcher never looks good enough and then their offense propels them. Good bullpen too.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 11, 2017 -> 07:36 PM) Of course not. They don't have the prospects for Q. He wasn't referring to mention of being in on Q

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 07:06 PM) What's so funny? Great game by Quintana. Sox Ace. Probably a typical Q lead being blown? Wasn't that hard to figure out haha it's like clockwork

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 03:53 PM) This won't be the only new Beer the Sox will be getting. This year? Yes it will haha

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) Has anyone heard/seen how Robertson is throwing? Only threw 3 innings for us before joining team USA.
