Here's how I think it will look

 

Rotation:

Buehrle, Loaiza, Garcia, Garland, Schoenweis

 

Bullpen:

Diaz, Rauch, Cotts, Adkins, Politte, Marte, Takatsu

 

Outfielders:

Perez, Lee, Ordonez, Rowand

 

Infielders:

Konerko, Thomas, Uribe, Valentin, Crede, Harris

 

Catchers:

Alomar, Davis, Burke

I'm quite content with that list. I'm looking forward to Schoenweis' return. I feel he'll come back off the DL pitching the way he started the season. I also agree that Jackson will be gone once Scho's back.

I just realized I left Gload off the list, but if we are to keep 3 catchers, he would appear to be the odd man out to me.

the roster on whitesox.com doesnt have davis on it

Tough call. I agree that we'll need a 12 man pitching staff in the second half, as we only get 4 days off. I don't think we can afford to carry three catchers, and we definitely need Gload's left-handed bat off the bench. I think that Burke will be the odd man out, even if he performs better than Davis. You know how stubborn KW is when it comes to guys acquired in trades. Davis could fail miserably between now and the ASB, but he'll still be here for certain.

I see the battle for the last spot on this roster being between Jaimie Burke, Jon Rauch and Mike Jackson. I think Diaz will head back to AAA to continue to get work, but Rauch may need to stick around. Could it be the end for Mike Jackson?

* With all that being said, I could easily see KW adding one proven arm to our bullpen. A bullpen that could include Cotts, Adkins, and Rauch down the home stretch scares me a bit.

I would like to see KW take a look at someone like Hasegawa, Biddle, R. Beck, or D. Patterson.

I see us either going with an 11-man staff, or Burke going down.

 

Gload will stay on, Davis will be called up shortly, and then one of Diaz, Burke, and Rauch will be sent down.

 

Otherwise I agree with that roster.

 

 

 

And I do see KW getting a reliever or two. I definately see him being in the Urbina race, and he'll be inquiring about other relievers from all over. If we can get Urbina, I will feel very comfortable going down the stretch.

I see us either going with an 11-man staff, or Burke going down.

It's gonna have to be a 12 man staff with only 4 days off in the second half, wite.

It's gonna have to be a 12 man staff with only 4 days off in the second half, wite.

Which is why I see Burke going down.

 

4 off days in the second half? Damn.

4 off days in the second half?  Damn.

Yeah, it's horrible.

 

But then again, no more Mondays without baseball!

That's a very dishearting picture..

 

Good luck Big MO!!

Seeing those pictures... :banghead

 

Just remember... Freddy Garcia, Freddy Garcia, Freddy Garcia. Ok, I feel better now.

 

By the way, Gload is going nowhere. He's staying. Ozzie won't let anything else happen.
