Off day tomorrow. I'm guessing there will be a large group of roster cuts today. Very few guys on the bench today.

 

Phegley not listed as a bench player or as an off day. He might be on the chopping block this morning.

Update--Phegley and Rienzo are cleaning out their lockers. Heading to minor league camp.

 

So are Wilkins and Surkamp.

Southside Sox kind of talked about a growing discomfort with Phegley's basics behind the plate. The arm is good but the rest lacks.

Nieto it is.

Nieto it is.

 

They somewhat had to if they wanted to keep him. This is a huge jump for the kid. He was only in A ball?

Essentially it's down to Adrian Nieto and Hector Gimenez for the backup catcher slot. #WhiteSox staff is high on Nieto.

I would think they're trying to work on a deal with Washington to keep Nieto in the system. They'll go with Gimenez unless they make a trade.

Perfect time to take a look at a young guy. We dont need to win right now. Improve the organization by sacrificing a roster spot. When you disabuse yourself of the notion that you need to be great this year...............you can do these things and grow long term.

 

And put pressure on Nats to dump him to us for something near-worthless.

Man hears to hoping T-Flo's bum shoulder was the reason he sucked so bad last year and he does well.

I think its the other way around; they'll go with Nieto unless they make a trade.

Still waiting for the big 3B/IF backup battle as well as the De Aza/Viciedo/(Jor[Dan)ks] battle.

Isn't Jordan Danks out of options? If he is, I bet he gets traded.

There really isn't a battle unless there's a trade. It looks like it will be Konerko, Nieto, De Aza, and Keppinger. Semien may make it if Beckham is unavailable. Garcia could make the team if Keppinger starts on the DL. Danks may make the team if De Aza is traded. These are the things that happen when a team's owner forces the GM to keep an aging veteran around as a mascot.

All future World Series chances will be ruined because Paul Konerko is on the roster and guys like Semien and Garcia have to play in Charlotte instead of sitting on the bench in Chicago. Plus Jordan Danks might find a new organization. How awful.

No, I believe he has two options left. He's going nowhere IMO.

Is Nieto anything like Molly?

Be condescending if you wish, but it's still a stupid ass idea.

Gimenez just punched his ticket to AAA.

 

Why throw to second on a stolen base attempt with a man on thrid and less than two outs? #ugh

Every time I try to watch ST game I see them lose and I get mad. I realize it's only ST but damn I hate losing!

That was ugly, and our announcer basically said it was a well thrown ball! Lol! No wonder so many of you can't stand him!

Abreu hits second homer of spring, connects on first pitch from Skaggs. 5-3 Angels. left-center field.

Semien-Garcia-Abreu is such a great combination!!

Avisail Garcia just got a chance to show off his arm in RF, threw out Howie Kendrick stretching single into a double.

Erik Johnson has allowed 5 earned runs and 6 hits through 4 today. So that's 14 ERs and 13 hits over 4+ IP for Sox starters the last 2 days.

Matt Davidson is looking even more comfortable the past few days
