Four players were optioned to Triple-A Charlotte: RHP Anthony Carter, RHP Freddy Dolsi, INF Eduardo Escobar and OF Stefan Gartrell. Two more players, right-handers Kyle Cofield and Nate Jones, were optioned to Double-A Birmingham. Reassigned to minor-league camp were right-handers Brandon Hynick and Miguel Socolovich. Gartrell’s option came one day after hitting two home runs in a B game. The moves leave the White Sox with 38 players remaining in major-league camp: 18 pitchers, four catchers, 10 infielders and six outfielders.
March 14, 201115 yr No surprises. Gartrell seemed to be having a pretty good camp but I don't think he ever had a chance to make the roster. He'll get his chance at some point in the near future.

I think Dennis Werth is probably a better comparison than Jayson. Don't think there are any real huge years for him from this point forward with regards to development. Either the Sox give him a shot in the next year or two, or the club DFA's him and gives him his outright release, and he finds a better situation for himself. He's done enough in the minors that he deserves a shot at working his way onto a major league bench, I just don't know that it will be with the White Sox. I don't think it will be.
