February 17, 201511 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) In the minors Rodon had #41, which is currently held by Javy Guerra. No one wears Rodon's college number of #16. Isn't it retired?

I think Rodon had a different number at every stop last year, so I doubt 41 means anything to him. 16 is retired so he won't be getting that. Maybe 46 once Penny gets let go. That seems to fit. 24 is unclaimed. Maybe Campana would have had that. Edited February 17, 201511 yr by flavum
February 18, 201511 yr It's funny because baseball is BY FAR my favorite sport, but I know the numbers of my Blackhawks players much better and maybe even my Cowboys players. You don't spend much time in baseball guessing who a player is based on his jersey number, because players rarely come in to contact with each other in a group. Just as a random exercise that benefits no one, I'll attempt to type out our line-ups numbers.... Eaton - 1, Alexei - 10, Melky...33?, Abreu - 79 (took me a while to remember), LaRoche - 25 (no idea why I know that), Avi - 26?, Micah - 7, Gillaspie - 12 (I think), Flowers - 17?, Bonafacio - 38?, Sale - 49, Danks - 50, Q - 28?, Shark - 29, Noesi - 38?, Jones - 45? Petricka - 43? Putnam - 58? EDIT: Okay, I guess I did better than I thought I would. Edited February 18, 201511 yr by Chilihead90
February 18, 201511 yr Author QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 11:24 PM) I expect Avi will change to number 24 (Thank God). No, he'll keep 26. If he were going to change, Crain would have gone back to 26. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/roste...an.jsp?c_id=cws http://mlb.mlb.com/team/roster_nri.jsp?c_id=cws I find it funny that changing a uniform number is listed in the official transactions. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/trans...amp;team_id=145 Too bad Quintana got stuck with 62 when he did. Terrible number. Edited February 18, 201511 yr by flavum

February 19, 201511 yr Kind of surprised Rodon got such a high number. I had zero expectations that he would break camp with the team, but I thought he's at least get a somewhat lower number than they gave him. Must be because he's not on the 40.
