I think Grossman takes his spot the moment he looks good in AAA. I think it's hilarious and sad they waived him just to re-sign him for $2mil less. These guys really hate Oscar Colas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not. @WestEddy made a good point that Grossman’s defense is Sheets-like in RF, but I guess that hasn’t stopped them from starting Sheets in RF. However, they will still need Pillar to back up CF. Ideally, Grossman tears it up at AAA and they can somehow fit both Pillar and Grossman on the roster. It’s too bad no one else can back up 1B because Sheets is the guy who should be in AAA. Grossman and Pillar are old and may be done but they have both hit lefties fairly well in their careers and it could make some sense if they are in LF and RF respectively against left-handed starters, with Robert in CF, Eloy at DH, and Benintendi on the bench.

Boopa1219 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Grossman is much much needed on this team/org because he walks like 15% of the time (league average is around 7.5%). The Sox needs more guys who see a lot of pitches and take their walks. Grossman is a welcome addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He requires 90 days on the active roster in 24, otherwise he is subject to rule 5 requirements in 25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to be on the active roster at some point. 60-day IL all year doesn’t do that. But yes, him going on the IL at least for the start makes it easier. Figure it out later when other injuries happen. Edited March 28 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canaan Smith-Njigba is afoot again, today. Pirates cut him, and I think there's a finite number of times he can be outrighted, but this might be his first outrighting, I don't know. We'll see. He passed by the 8 worst teams (by last year's records) twice, already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t they just cut Jesse Scholtens (torn UCL) from the 40-man roster and claim Smith-Njigba? Edited March 28 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
