Leonard Zelig Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 12:14 AM) IF Micah wins the 2B job I can definitely see us keeping Tank. A bench of... Sanchez-SS, 2B Bonifacio- CF, 3B, 2B Tank- LF, RF, DH Shuck/Campana- OF Brantley/Kottaras- back-up catcher Pretty good and covers pretty much all of our needs in my opinion. If there is a 7 man bullpen there will only be 4 bench spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sanchez wins the 2B job, keep that same bench expect for no Shuck/Campana (Bonifacio backup CF in addition to IF, Viciedo backup LF/RF) and either Saladino or L. Garcia as the backup SS/2B. Johnson can then play everyday at Charlotte until he's needed due to injury or Sanchez faltering.

From Wiki: A common English usage misconception is that a paragraph has three to five sentences; single-word paragraphs can be seen in some professional writing, and journalists often use single-sentence paragraphs.

Jose Abreu Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The backup catcher race will be an interesting one, though. I think Brantly will win it, but Kottaras and Nieto have a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Brantly will win it, but Kottaras and Nieto have a shot. Let's say Brantly does win the backup catcher job; where does that leave everyone else? Kottaras would be a sure bet for Charlotte, but who would be the other AAA catcher? Nieto or Smith? Who would start, Kottaras or one of the younger guys who should be playing everyday? Smith seems ready for AAA and probably doesn't need to repeat AA at 26-years old. Would it be good for Nieto's development to go from a full season in the majors to AA instead of AAA? ML: Flowers/Brantly AAA: Smith/Kottaras AA: Nieto/Whoever It'll be even more interesting if Kottaras win the backup catcher job. Barring any transactions, that'll leave three guys who should all be playing everyday in the minors (Brantly, Nieto, Smith).

The difference in talent level between AA and AAA isn't significant enough to have a strong opinion in one over the other, but I would say it will most likely be Nieto at AA since he's spent the least time above A ball out of everyone. Smith and the loser of Kottaras and Brantly battle will split time at C, 1B, and DH at Charlotte. I am leaning towards Kottaras making the opening day roster.

It gives the White Sox 10 days to trade him, outright him or release him. I think since I do not believe he has been outrighted before, if he clears waivers, the White Sox can outright him, and there is nothing he can do about it but accept it or retire.

It would be nice if he stayed in the Sox organization. He plays good defense and is a good base runner. Those guys aren't impossible to find, but they're nice to have on hand as opposed to needing to look for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
