March 22, 201016 yr No kidding, if he puts up those numbers that would be awesome!! Two weeks until opening day, can't wait.

March 22, 201016 yr Just saw an interesting note... Kotsay leads the Sox with 4 stolen bases this spring... Pods has 2 so far for the Royals. Spring stats mean nothing... I know... Just struck me funny.
March 23, 201016 yr I know it means nothing, but I hope Anderson does well with KC. I don't want him to beat us, but I always liked him.

It's a shame to waste that CF defense. I really wish someone here could have gotten through to BA and taught him how to hit. He would have been star.
March 23, 201016 yr Roster moves: White Sox Option Tyler Flowers & Carlos Torres to Class AAA; Reassign Ryan Braun, Jordan Danks, Josh Kroeger, Brent Morel & C.J. Retherford 32 left in camp.

Retherford 32 left in camp. CJ the only mild surprise there - I thought he'd be sticking around longer. Looks like the bench is set, then.
March 23, 201016 yr So that about sets the roster 1. Pierzynski 2. Konerko 3. Beckham 4. Ramirez 5. Teahen 6. Pierre 7. Rios 8. Quentin 9. Jones 10. Kotsay 11. Vizquel 12. Castro 13. Nix 14. Buehrle 15. Peavy 16. Danks 17. Floyd 18. Garcia 19. Jenks 20. Thornon 21. Putz 22. Pena 23. Linebrink 24. Williams 25. Santos This might be the first year since I became a Sox fan that the 25 man roster could have easily been predicted at the very beginning of spring training. Not a single surprise, not a single positional battle.
March 23, 201016 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 11:19 AM) 25. Santos This might be the first year since I became a Sox fan that the 25 man roster could have easily been predicted at the very beginning of spring training. Not a single surprise, not a single positional battle. Santos is a bit of a suprise considering he's never had definitive success in the minor leagues. They're keeping him on the roster due to his potential, spring training success, and lack of options.
March 23, 201016 yr Defintely. Barring injury, they're leaving camp with the roster they had in mind at the beginning of spring training. 7 cuts left will be Aquino, Hudson, Leesman, Threets, Lucy, Lillibridge, De Aza.

March 23, 201016 yr QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 11:27 AM) Which of these guys have options left? All of them are either on vet minor league deals, have options remaining or are not yet on the 40 man so they can all stick around.
March 23, 201016 yr Hudson, Lillibridge, and De Aza are the only ones on the 40-man, and they all do have options as far as I know. The rest can be sent down.

They're keeping him on the roster due to his potential, spring training success, and lack of options. Regardless, he was the public favorite for the final bullpen spot just after Carrasco was non-tendered because of 2 of the 3 of the reasons you listed at the end. And when the favorite wins it's not much of a surprise.

Barring injury, they're leaving camp with the roster they had in mind at the beginning of spring training. 7 cuts left will be Aquino, Hudson, Leesman, Threets, Lucy, Lillibridge, De Aza. Aquino and Hudson are still theoretically battling with Santos for the final pen spot. Santos has looked pretty good though, Aquino has been garbage during his career, and Hudson they are in no hurry to push up. Leesman and Threets, same for the LOOGY job, but Williams seems to have it all but locked up. De Aza and Lillibridge are theoretically still battling Nix, but De Aza is an OF and just not likely, and Lillibridge is... Lillibridge. Lucy may take another shot in the minors this year, but he has nowhere to go - AAA and AA starting C's are set, and Armstrong is still drifting around as well. I suspect he retires, goes to another org, or maybe becomes a coach, sometime in the next year.

March 23, 201016 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) I think De Aza sticks around and we reassign Nix actually. Unless De Aza can play 3b, I'd be really surprised.
March 23, 201016 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) I think De Aza sticks around and we reassign Nix actually. You think the Sox will carry 5 OF's, and only Vizquel to back up all three skill IF positions? Possible, but I highly doubt it.

March 23, 201016 yr Do Lessman and Threets ahve to clear waivers? Also De Aza can be send down with no ramifications, Nix has to clear waivers thus Nix will stick around. I wish Lillibridge would go away.

Also De Aza can be send down with no ramifications, Nix has to clear waivers thus Nix will stick around. I wish Lillibridge would go away. Leesman was drafted in 2008 so he's still got a ways to go before he even needs to be placed on the 40, so no he won't have to clear waivers he can just be reassigned with no ramifications. I assume Threets' minor league deal does not include an out-clause (I don't see why it would) so he can be reassigned to AAA without having to be placed on waivers.
March 23, 201016 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) I think De Aza sticks around and we reassign Nix actually. You can't reassign Nix unless you want him exposed to waivers. We don't need that many OF's anyway, especially considering Nix can play LF. Swapping De Aza for Nix gives you no power off the bench, and only one backup infielder. It's not going to happen and if it does, it shouldn't.
March 23, 201016 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 11:56 AM) 6 outfielders. d'oh! That's what I meant.
