ROSTER CRUNCH: who goes and who stays

Featured Replies

I predict Severino and Mendick go now.  Foster for Kelly.  Burger for Moncada.  If he’s still pitching this bad, Keuchel for Cueto.

  • People really need to get it in their heads that Vaughn isn't getting sent down in any circumstance.

    Launch Keuchel into the sun.

    For the love of god Burger and Sheets can't get off fuckin this team fast enough. 

Sadly I think Keuchel sticks around until Cueto is ready.  

Gotta be Harrison.

0% chance 

Now that Banks has an ERA over 0.00, time to let him go ?

Cueto threw only 60 some pitches on Fri and TLR said he needs 1-2 more starts. While I would have pitched him more Fri and made the change next start, I don’t think we’ll be so lucky. 

60-70 pitches from an unstretched Cueto can certainly be no worse than 85 pitches from a fully stretched Dallas Keuchel.

Kind of funny to go after the guys with the 4th and 6th best OPS from guys who start/healthy

I mean, the guy is a huge Kelenic fan…

My final guess for the two guys going down today is Severino and Mendick. I think Sousa and Burr go when Moncada and Kelly return.

I think #1 is 100% Severino.  The next one is tougher, but it almost has to be Mendick.

Can't lose Burger yet until Yoan is back.  Sheets is the only real lefty thump we have  on the bench, and he has hit decent so far this year.

You could go with a reliever, but Burr just got here, and you are already sending down a left in Severino.

There are only 12 position players on the roster now that Mendick has gone down. If you send Sheets or Burger down when Moncada comes back, Sheets/Burger has to come back up by the end of May when the 13/13 rule goes back into effect. Maybe that buys you a few weeks while you figure out whether to send down Burr, DFA Keuchel, or something else.

Probably too risky with Pollack‘s injury history…but does anyone think Engel has any trade value? He definitely has value to us as a late game def sub and pinch runner, would just be curious to see if any team would be willing to give up a half decent arm for Engel. 

How long until Robinson Cano is on the White Sox?

With Harrison over there, it is an interesting thought if we are talking about minimum wage.  A lefty power bat too.  The question isn't, is he prime Robinson Cano, the question is, will be be better than Josh Harrison.

That was my first thought when I saw he was DFA

The actual question is, will he be better than Leury and the answer is an easy YES

I'd MUCH prefer Cano to Harrison.

Would be pro-rated minimum assuming he clears waivers and gets released.  

Cano and his 2 BBs, would be 6th on our roster in walks. Our inability to take a walk is astounding.

In theory, the Sox at this point COULD swing a trade and pick up some percentage of his salary in exchange for more of less of a return for the Mets.

Keuchel and Harrison for Cano and $21 million.

Cano is owed $24M this year AND next (Seattle pays $3.75M annually).  The Sox won't be picking up $27M of Cano's tab.  Just wait til he's released and get him for the pro-rated min if you actually want him.
