August 26, 20214 yr I know this is a little early but want to get the board’s thoughts on who you think will be called up or who you would like to be called up? Edited August 26, 20214 yr by maloney.adam
August 26, 20214 yr I'm thinking Hamilton gets activated off IL so he doesn't have to replace anyone currently there and a reliever. Edited August 26, 20214 yr by manbearpuig
August 26, 20214 yr Gavin Sheets. Punt Jake Lamb into the sun if we have to. Gavin should either be added as the call-up, or take Lamb's position outright to allow them to bring someone else up.

I would only want Sheets if he was going to get majority of the RF at bats (or DH if Vaughn and Eloy are both out there).

August 26, 20214 yr We get two spots, and one of them will be the third catcher. Going to guess Burger, but tough to say what depth they like more.
August 26, 20214 yr Just now, KipWellsFan said: SS2K5, what is the motivation for carrying 3 catchers? La Russa said they'll be carrying three catchers

August 26, 20214 yr With 3 catchers, they likely go with 12 other position players and 13 pitchers. If Engel and Hamilton are both activated, one current player must go to accommodate both (Lamb?). Sadly, it’s likely Sheets and Burger aren’t promoted, to accommodate Goodwin, possibly Lamb. JFC Fearing Engel doesn’t return with all the delays and setbacks this season.
August 26, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, manbearpuig said: So Hamilton and a catcher as the 2 extra spots? I'd assume so. Maybe Kyle Crick gets a look.

August 26, 20214 yr It needs to be a 3rd catcher as they will be conservative with Grandal until close to playoff time. Hamilton will get one spot and the third catcher will get the second. I predict that Seby will get roster spot 28 after being sent down for 4 days when Grandal returns. I imagine that they will send Seby down for the 4 days as he's already used an option this year while Collins has not used an option this year and it would be crazy to blow an option year for 4 days.

Does he have to stay down for 10 days?
August 26, 20214 yr Yermin. When he was sent down, Kenny publicly promised he'll be back. Edited August 26, 20214 yr by IWokeUpLikeThis

I don't know whether or not the September 1 callup date is an exception to that rule, but if not, then just send down Lopez or Ruiz for 10 days so Seby can stay. With 2 days off next week and 2 opponents with weak lineups coming, they should be able to manage a pitcher short for 10 days. Edited August 26, 20214 yr by WhiteSoxFan1993
August 26, 20214 yr 7 minutes ago, IWokeUpLikeThis said: Yermin. When he was sent down, Kenny publicly promised he'll be back. I don't recall Kenny saying anything about Yermin.
August 26, 20214 yr The old rules would have really benefited the Sox this year. I can see them using 32 spots this year. Crick has pitched very well in CLT, I just don’t see them using a roster spot on a guy who is leaving after the season.
August 26, 20214 yr I don’t recall Kenny Williams publicly speaking or going on record at all about anything in 2021. This was the last interview I’ve seen featuring Kenny Williams, very poignant.
August 26, 20214 yr 19 minutes ago, IWokeUpLikeThis said: Yermin. When he was sent down, Kenny publicly promised he'll be back. Zero need to keep that promise that nobody remembers
August 26, 20214 yr 35 minutes ago, IWokeUpLikeThis said: Yermin. When he was sent down, Kenny publicly promised he'll be back. I don't think Yermin plays another game for the White Sox
August 26, 20214 yr 17 minutes ago, IWokeUpLikeThis said: I misremembered. It was Hahn who said it. That certainly is not a promise that he will be playing for the White Sox
