southsider2k5 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Blake Smith's addition to the 40 man roster means the roster is full at 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Blake Smith is a converted outfielder. Rich Dotson, when he was the pitching coach in Charlotte, raved about him last year. Has a legit live arm. Figured he might come up this year. Should be a fun one to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expected to see Fulmer but maybe he and Burdi will be competing in 2017 for the AL Rookie Pitcher of the Year? I guess we will see lots of Gonzalez and Ranaudo the rest of the way and since I just saw Hayes'tweet I reckon Mr Shields keeps on a hurlin Edited September 6, 2016 by elrockinMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I hope Leury hits. He really would be the best bench piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot seriously think this was a marketing decision. You have to be trolling or trying to stir something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 @MLBBruceLevine Rick Hahn said 2015 first Rd pick RHP Carson Fulmer had thrown enough innings for this season . ( no call up ) @ChiTribKane Rick Hahn says Carson Fulmer made strides last few starts at AAA. Didn't think he'd get enough quality innings with Sox over last month... @scottmerkin Hahn on Burdi: "We wanted him to finish the year on a positive note. We felt his workload was such that it didn’t make a lot of sense .. @scottmerkin More Hahn: ".. to bring him at this time." Hahn stressed Burdi had a great run and will be in big league camp this upcoming ST in Ariz.. @ChiTribKane ...But Rick Hahn says they still see Carson Fulmer as a starter who can help in near future moving forward for White Sox.

Balta1701 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 So Fulmer's innings total for the season ends at 103, a drop of nearly 50 innings compared to the previous year. I think they wanted him to avoid having any other bad starts so that the team trading for him will still look positively on how he finished.

ScootsMcGoots Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 05:31 PM) I hope Leury hits. He really would be the best bench piece. If Leury proves that he can play at this level, I honestly would have no problem putting Saladino as the primary 2B and having Lawrie DH next year if they can't sign anyone else to DH...and have Leury be the infield utility. Obviously not the first choice of action, but I would like to see Saladino start somewhere. Maybe they can convert him to a RF and have Eaton stay at CF? Just throwing ideas out there.

I don't think they can afford to trade him unless it is in a deal where a SP is coming back. Ranaudo is really struggling so going into the spring starting pitching is once again up in the air. After the top 3 Shields, Miggy and Fulmer are leading the pack with Turner on the outside. Once again they will have to dumster dive for a 5th starter like last year and hope they strike gold.
