August 14, 20187 yr Hard to believe, but September 1st is only 2.5 weeks away. Who do you think gets the call for the final month when rosters expand? Here are my guesses: (*denotes on 40 man) Aaron Bummer* Carson Fulmer* Jordan Stephens Seby Zavala Jose Rondon* Ryan Cordell* Charlie Tilson* Nate Jones (if healthy enough)* Leury Garcia (if/when healthy)* Other potential options: Eloy Jimenez* Michael Kopech Ian Hamilton Jose Ruiz Dustin Garneau* Spencer Adams Ryan Burr Caleb Frare Jordan Guerrero Matt Skole* Jake Elmore Eddy Alvarez Gregory Infante Alex Call Tito Polo Edited August 14, 20187 yr by ChiSox59
August 14, 20187 yr How common is it to have 4 catchers in September? I don't see any playing time for Seby unless we DFA Smith or something.

My guess is we see Seby instead of Garneau. DFA Garneau. But probably more likely the other way around. Just don't really see hte point with Garneau. He is already 31 and is never going to climb in front of Narvaez or Smith.
August 14, 20187 yr Everybody on the 25-man today, plus: Bummer, Jones, Fulmer, Castillo, Rondon, Leury, Tilson wildcards- Garneau, Cordell Edited August 14, 20187 yr by flavum

August 14, 20187 yr Wellington Castillo still has to make it in at some point, which probably means no Seby. Bummer, Fulmer, and Rondon are for sures in my mind. Tilson would make sense. I am not as certain about guys who aren't currently on the 40 man roster. I would love to see Hamilton, Eloy and Kopech up here ASAP, but with them not being here already, it is probably going to be the middle of next April until we start to see those guys.
August 14, 20187 yr Seby not coming up doesnt bother me so much. Seems like he has been injured on and off a lot this season
August 14, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, LittleHurt05 said: Worst rule in sports... Separate topic, but it does suck. The term “September Callup” should end forever. The Rule 5 draft should go away- or at least having to keep them on your roster all year. The next CBA should get more creative on how you use your roster on a daily basis, from Day 1 to Day 186.
August 14, 20187 yr Unfortunately I think Jiménez & Kopech will be up once Charlotte’s season ends. If the Sox were smart, they’d only call up a handful of guys (Bummer, Robson, Tilson, etc.) and claim they want to use September to evaluate certain players already on the 25 man roster. They’ll have to be creative to avoid calling up Eloy & Michael when rosters expand.
August 14, 20187 yr Maybe I’m being optimistic because I don’t want Jimenez and Kopech up this year, but if they were coming up at all, I think they’d be here already. They would be justified in dumping Covey from the rotation and LaMarre from the roster. Since they haven’t done it, I think they’re waiting for April 12th (or whenever), which is a sound decision at this point.

That would be straight WTF move. I think they're smarter than that.

Just gave me a real bad vibe. For one, the quote has been taken out of context. He didn't really say that. Also, he and every other person in the org has probably been asked that question 1000 times. At some point you answer it in a way that people can twist. It's beyond obvious that these guys aren't coming to Chicago this season. If they do at this point, I will being to really doubt that Hahn and Co has any fucking idea what they're doing.

Ive said multiple times that I would have called them up a month ago but now they are getting close to where it wouldn't be worth it. My comment was based more on what their plans are by his comments not what I would do now.
August 14, 20187 yr I think Eloy mashing minor league pitching and Rick Hahn saying "he needs to check off more boxes" (or whatever it was) is a pretty good indication he isn't coming up. Edited August 14, 20187 yr by soxfan2014

I hope you’re right. Sucks we won’t see him for another 8 months, but simply not worth it at this point.
August 31, 20187 yr The Sox are at 40 now Besides the 25 current— DL- Abreu, Leury, Jones, Castillo...is Jones done for the year? 40-man (up this yr)- Fulmer, Bummer, Danish, Tilson, Skole, Garneau 40-man (not up this yr)- Clarkin, Basabe, Adolfo, Jimenez, Cordell
August 31, 20187 yr Tilson and Castillo not in the lineup tonight. Probably will be added for tomorrow night’s rainout.
