March 11, 201313 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 05:40 PM) 10 cuts coming today per the Score. Simon Castro, Santos Rodriguez, Nestor Molina, Erik Johnson, Scott Snodgress, Marcus Semien, Trayce Thompson, Seth Loman, & Keenyn Walker. One other guy I missed too. Mildly surprised that Castro and Molina went out so quick.
March 11, 201313 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 05:54 PM) Mildly surprised that Castro and Molina went out so quick. Definitely surprised by Castro, although they're probably just running out of innings. Also, Molina optioned to AA. Castro & Rodiguez to AAA. The rest sent to minor league camp.

March 11, 201313 yr Am i the only one surprised Trayce is gone so early? Especially with rios/de aza gone
March 11, 201313 yr Author QUOTE (staxx @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 06:02 PM) Am i the only one surprised Trayce is gone so early? Especially with rios/de aza gone We still got Mitchell, Tekotte, & Danks around and if one of our starters or Wise were to go down, one of these guys would make the team. Therefore, those three guys need to play so Hahn and the coaching can make the best decision if need be.

March 11, 201313 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 04:18 PM) Sale 5 innings, 1 hit. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 06:07 PM) We still got Mitchell, Tekotte, & Danks around and if one of our starters or Wise were to go down, one of these guys would make the team. Therefore, those three guys need to play so Hahn and the coaching can make the best decision if need be. After seeing how bad he played today, I think Danks time is very limited.
March 11, 201313 yr Author QUOTE (staxx @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 06:09 PM) After seeing how bad he played today, I think Danks time is very limited. Probably, but he's still ahead of Thompson on the depth chart. We're talking about guys filling a reserve role in the event of an injury, as Wise would likely move into the lineup if the injury was short-term. Obviously Mitchell could change some of that thinking, but they're definitely going to bring up a prospect like Thompson to rot on the bench.
March 11, 201313 yr Players left to be booted (in my opinion): Pitchers: Axelrod, Heath, Marinez, Omogrosso, Rienzo, Septimo, Gray, Moskos, Purcey, Stewart, Troncoso Catchers: Phegley, Anderson Infield: Morel, Bell, C Sanchez, Tolleson Outfield: Danks, Tekotte, Mitchell Edited March 11, 201313 yr by flavum

Morel will probably be the last position player cut. Short of an injury, there shouldn't be any surprises.

Morel will probably be the last position player cut. Short of an injury, there shouldn't be any surprises. I think Morel could steal that last job from the Rule V Sanchez. Other than that, the roster is pretty well set in theory.
March 11, 201313 yr Author QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 06:52 PM) I'm predicting Gimenez gets cut and they keep Morel as super-utility. So Anderson as the backup catcher? Edited March 11, 201313 yr by Chicago White Sox
March 12, 201313 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 06:52 PM) I'm predicting Gimenez gets cut and they keep Morel as super-utility. Gimenez has been hitting the crap out of the ball so far. Last I saw his average was over .500

March 12, 201313 yr Author QUOTE (baseball17 @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 07:26 PM) Isn't Septimo out of options? Yep, so we'll have to hope he clears waivers, which I'd say is 50/50. I know some people on this site hate him, but the kid has nasty stuff and would at least be welcome AAA depth.
March 12, 201313 yr QUOTE (baseball17 @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 06:26 PM) Isn't Septimo out of options? Not sure. Theoretically, Santos Rodriguez profiles very similarly, so with Thornton and Santiago, they're probably not super worried. In fact, in a sense, they have "double insurance" with Veal. Reed Thornton Crain/Lindstrom Jones Santiago/Veal Will always remember Septimo for that Boston backbreaking homer he gave up to Adrian Gonzalez...pitching in a situation he wasn't really accustomed to, certainly not under that type of pressure.

March 12, 201313 yr Rather see Morel at Charlotte to see if his back can withstand the rigors of playing every day.
March 12, 201313 yr Author QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) Rather see Morel at Charlotte to see if his back can withstand the rigors of playing every day. Agree, plus it would give Morel a chance to play more SS.

March 12, 201313 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 08:50 PM) Agree, plus it would give Morel a chance to play more SS. I'm not a fan of him playing anywhere other than third until Beckham shows he should be in their plans for 2014. Plan B would be Morel at third, Keppinger at 2B.
March 12, 201313 yr Carlos Sanchez at 2B, Ramirez at SS, Keppinger at 3B. Plan C/D/E is Morel starting anywhere besides Charlotte.
March 12, 201313 yr Author QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 11, 2013 -> 09:23 PM) I'm not a fan of him playing anywhere other than third until Beckham shows he should be in their plans for 2014. Plan B would be Morel at third, Keppinger at 2B. I agree with Caulfield, Carlos Sanchez should be plan B for Beckham this year. He fills more needs in the lineup (AVG & OBP) that Morel does. Honestly, I feel like we need to see if Morel can actually fill a reserve role down the road. That means demonstrating some positional flexibility. Might as well see if he can handle SS while he is at AAA.
