Springfield Soxfan Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Does Stewart have minor league options left? Just wondering how that affects his roster status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Stats section on whitesox.com has DanksI as batting 1-1 with 2 RBI. Did he actually get a hit in a game or was that an at-bat of DanksII that was mis-attributed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Joe McEwing is a rough 39 years old. Just saw the video of him talking about chemistry on whitesox.com and I would have easily guessed late 40's maybe even early 50's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like we have enough 1B/DH types already. I wouldn't be surprised if they broke camp with Escobar. We only have one guy on the bench that can play the middle infield if we take Johnson.

cabiness42 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Lillibridge can play IF, but the more important question is where is Johnson going to play? I don't see Konerko/Dunn having enough days off to justify giving Johnson a roster spot, and there aren't that many PH opportunities in the AL.

ScottyDo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'd much rather see Eduardo Escobar than Johnson but I know that's not likely to happen. Solid defense, potentially decent bat and hits from both sides. Less power and experience than Johnson but a much more diverse player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 1b/3b and has also played a bit of LF. For lefty bats, you already have Dunn who can play 1B and Fukudome who can play LF. Now, if Johnson can actually handle 3B, I can buy him getting some spot starts over Morel and pinch-hitting for him vs RHP late in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Kind of surprised McPherson survived longer than Martinez or Kuhn. The battle lines now are... BULLPEN DEFINITE: Thornton, Crain, Ohman, Reed BULLPEN CANDIDATES (2 or 3 - I bolded my prediction of who makes the roster): Axelrod, Bruney, Jones, Santiago, Septimo, Stewart, Stults BENCH DEFINITE: Lillibridge, Flowers BENCH CANDIDATES (2 or 3, probably 2): Escobar, Gallagher, Johnson, McPherson, Olmedo, Saladino, Danks This means there isn't a true backup for CF, but De Aza and Rios can both play there. Everything else is covered pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
