That would all have to mean that Jordan Leasure goes down when they process Civale onto the roster. 

But congratulations to everyone on Vaughn and Palacios both being gone on the same day. Condolences to those who need them.

Palacios started the last two days, including hitting clean up two days ago.

WTF is it with this organization?

I am glad they finally sent him out for one of the kids who should be playing as much as possible in Baldwin.

I assume Leasure goes once they activate Civale.

And welcome back, Brooks. The team is more interesting with you on it.

I think when they activate Civale, Shuster goes down. Hard to carry 4 lefties in the bullpen.

Shuster's already down. Gilbert, Booser, Eisert and Alexander are the 4 lefties. Maybe they try to sneak Alexander through waivers.

Oops, I forgot Alexander. 

Do Capra next, please 

I’ve been calling for Baldwin’s return all week.

He’s starting his second straight game. Three more and then they’ll release him.

It's like a DFA punch card.  We'll know it's close when he hits clean up.

I truly think Colson is up within the next two weeks if he continues what he has been doing since being back.

I don't think it's that soon necessarily, but I think there's a reason Meidroth is getting more 2B reps lately despite grading out well at short.

Is this our best lineup?

SS Chase, RF Tauchmann, 3B Vargas, LF Beni, 2B Sosa, DH Teel, CF Robert, 1B Elko, C Quero

Ignore the names in the post, but pay attention to the number of PAs by each position in the batting order.  Why, in an era of analytics and such, do we insist on putting our worst hitters in prime positions to get as many ABs as possible?  We were literally maximizing some of the most value PAs for a guy we were literally on the verge of cutting.  The difference between the 1 and 9 slots is almost an PA per GAME.  The difference between the 4 and 9 slots is an extra PA every 2 games.

Didn't this happen with Maton too?

At least Brandon Drury was spared by opting out of his Sox minor league deal.

 

Also is Getz getting paid by the transaction by JR?

Not even a mutual fund manager at quarter churns his roster THIS much.

Does he have enough service time to reject an assignment? Is that how he became a free agent with Brewers? I’m actually asking since I’m not sure.

Baldwin 2B, Sosa at 1B prob right?

When does Fletcher come up?

September?

He's not old enough for this roster to be a veteran but too old to be a prospect.

Whenever they move on from one of the OFs. 

Well its not boring that's for sure.

I believe he does. Started the season with 5 full years' service time.

Probably Taylor. Maybe a contender will take a Flier as a 4th outfielder good Defense. I like what I'm seeing.

I was thinking the same thing... from clean up to DFA.

Only in the world of the White Sox.
