Rosers expanded to 28, Micker likely can make the team to start the year.

To do what though?

Not our problem anymore

At this point you try slipping him through waivers and simply accept defeat when someone claims him.

I'd be shocked if the 2 extra rosters spots don't go to pitchers.

Roster Resource has Leury Garcia as our RF against RHP…

Like for the love of god please sign Michael Conforto!

Runner starts on 2B except the base is hidden and he/she has to find it. 

Not with the new, oversized glow-in-the-dark bases.

That would be so White Sox and TLR, making Vaughn the weak-side of a RF platoon along with Leury.

Who knew that under-the-radar Alex Rios deal would have such long-term ramifications back then, or even 2-3 years ago, for that matter?

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to platoon Leury and Harrison instead?   Or am I missing something here about Leury's non-stellar RF defense?

I don't think anyone will. I feel like people haven't really looked at his minor league career and noticed the 30%+ strikeout rate. He isn't ready for MLB action. I honestly think he's be lucky to hit over .200 right now, if ever.

Leury isn’t good against RHP despite being a “switch hitter”, so platooning him with a bunch of RH hitters doesn’t make sense to anyone but Rick Hahn & Tony La Russa.

How does Rios fit into this?

What's the 28th man on a roster ever really gonna do?

Warm up when Kimbrel is in.

Probably pitch the game Kopech starts.

If they keep 15 relievers, those 14-15 guys aren't going to pitch unless the game is well out of hand.

If you keep adolfo and send him down later, after all other designations and claims, there's a better chance you get to keep him imo. However small that difference may be.

From August 2013, Leury is the longest tenured White Sox over Jose Abreu...nobody back then thought this move would have any future significance for the franchise.

I feel like I've been waiting for Micker to get to the big leagues for 15 years....I'd like to keep him around for a bit to see what we've got with him.  

This 28 person roster may be what Micker needs to showcase his wares.  He does appear to have the tools.

Pitch when the starter is pulled in the 4th, for the first month.

I still don’t get why we didn’t pursue McHugh.  Was he the guy who accused us of service time manipulation?

For that first month the starters will have very short outings. After that it will be similar to a normal Spring training.

Must be a RH plant to drive up Kimbrel’s value. Everyone knows Kimbrel is not a top 10 reliever.

Hey how about some changes that could help our Sox...like the old neighborhood rule when you didn't have enough guys for a game....Right Field Out

I must have played a thousand games with that rule in place.

They need to "LaRussa proof" this roster ASAP.
