August 30, 20187 yr AFL rosters should be released today. Any guesses? Lots of candidates who missed time this year. Assuming health is in order I would love to see Dunning and Lambert pitching. Wouldn't mind seeing Luis Robert get some more reps on the position player side as well. Edit: Edited August 30, 20187 yr by DirtySox

Robert and Burdi were two names that have been previously mentioned by writers.
August 30, 20187 yr I would not be surprised if Laz Rivera is on it, reminds me a bit of Mendick last year.
August 30, 20187 yr Author Will be curious to see if Madrigal or Hansen go. Both missed time this year respectively.

August 30, 20187 yr Kind of surprised with Basabe since he's been solid all year, but good representation for the Sox so far. Edited August 30, 20187 yr by Sleepy Harold

Basabe is a pretty big surprise for me. The other three fit recent trends for the White Sox (making up for lost innings/ABs and seeing how they do against bigger competition as a measuring stick).
August 30, 20187 yr Good to see that Luis Robert will be participating. Hopefully this will better allow him to start the 2019 season in Birmingham.
August 30, 20187 yr Maybe Burdi will be ready for ChiTown come April Hopefully Robert rakes and stays healthy, originally had him progressing as fast as Puig but his health has held him back Basabe is interesting, as is Rivera Banks isn't too special but Thompson has bullpen potential

Makes me think we're going to see neither Hansen nor Dunning next season. Puts a huge damper on the pitching prospects in the minors, as if that happens it becomes Cease, Medeiros and everyone else.

There is zero reason to draw this conclusion. The Sox most likely want these guys to just get some rest (physical & mental in Hansen’s case) and come to spring training next year healthy / refreshed.

You're probably right, and I hope that is the case.
August 30, 20187 yr I think the lack of Dunning is probably more about him having accrued a decent amount of innings already this year. No reason to push him back up to game speed when he might benefit from the extended rest.
August 30, 20187 yr Banks makes little sense to me considering he is 26. Thompson has actually had a solid year out of the pen at 24; 1.63 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with over a K/IP Interested to see if Laz can keep hitting. I guess they're hoping that Basabe can continue his break out season. Burdi and Robert need the reps obviously.
