April 9, 201511 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:26 AM) Ha! Jacob Morris has converted from OF to P. Interesting. Joins Brad Salgado in that pen among players who converted from position to pitcher while with Sox. Few interesting things for me. Morris converting to pitcher like you said (he never hit that well anyway). Leonards back down to GF I assume, and Ethan Gross taking his spot I believe. Mendonca back to GF? I thought he did well to stay up or at least in the organization. Connor Walsh also back down to GF. Chris Curley back in the organization lol. He'll help this team offensively. I love that Adams and Martinez are up in Kanny. Great assignments in my opinion. Did Zach Fish move to catcher from OF, or do they mean Zach Fisher? lol Where is Ben Brewster, Nick Delmonico, and Josh Richmond ?
April 9, 201511 yr I have the Kanny rotation as Guerrero, Adams, Martinez, Lowry, and Almonte. Thoughts?
April 9, 201511 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 08:47 AM) I have the Kanny rotation as Guerrero, Adams, Martinez, Lowry, and Almonte. Thoughts? I see 8 starters, so I can't tell. Those 5 you list, plus Peralta, Valerio, Trexler. Guerrero is a starter. I'd bet money on Adams, Martinez and Trexler. That leaves one slot for Peralta, Valerio and Almonte. It is possible they might do a tandem thing like they did last year, maybe with say Adams and Martinez to protect their arms.

April 9, 201511 yr Josh Feldman says Kanny going with a 6-man rotation! The front four are Guerrero, Adams, Peralta, Lowry. Said to ask him later who the other two are (my guess is Martinez and Trexler).
April 9, 201511 yr Intimidators 4/16/15 @Intimidators 14m14 minutes ago Starting pitchers vs @BlueClaws: LH Jordan Guerrero RH Spencer Adams RH Yelmison Peralta RH Thad Lowry Intimidators will use 6-man rotation.

April 9, 201511 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 09:14 AM) Erik Johnson is active. Brantly to the DL. So, is Johnson starting now? Should supplant Haviland, but maybe not right away. Johnson didn't get to pitch much in March, he may start in the pen to stretch out.
April 9, 201511 yr My biggest surprises who weren't assigned to a full season team (could be hurt, could be going to Rk, who knows): Ben Brewster Terance Marin Aaron Bummer Tanner Banks Peter Tago John Ziznewski Zach Thompson There are others too, but those stuck out. All but one are pitchers, they really seemed to just run out of room.

April 9, 201511 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 01:27 PM) Delmonico and Silverio stick out tome as well Delmonico is on AA roster. They just finalized their roster. Quick question, Matt Heidenreich, didn't we trade him to the Astros for Brett Myers?

Quick question, Matt Heidenreich, didn't we trade him to the Astros for Brett Myers? Not sure if we traded him for Myers but we did deal him, was once interesting but was released and we re-signed him Hope someone finds Silverio, great glove, above average bat
April 10, 201511 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 02:12 PM) Quick question, Matt Heidenreich, didn't we trade him to the Astros for Brett Myers? Yes. Now we re-signed him to a MiLB deal.
April 13, 201511 yr Delmonico is on the Restricted List. Seems weird. So now with the rosters all final, these players were not assigned to full season clubs but are (as far as I can tell) still in the org. This is among players who were in the US last year, so I'm not including guys who were only in DSL...

Marin is on loan to the MEX League.
April 13, 201511 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 04:08 PM) Kanny's rotation almost makes up for their uninspiring group of position players. Adams, Guererro, Martinez, Lowry and then the less exciting Almonte to round it out. I was a little disappointed to see Trexler sent to the pen but it's hard to put much weight in anything at that level. They have a 6 man rotation, so there is still a question who the last starter is. Seems it would have to be Trexler or Valerio, both of him have pitched, but perhaps as their side days. They both pitched just once on the 10th, so that could be their side day work in essence. By the way if you want a chuckle, look at Trexler's profile picture on MiLB.com. He may be "old for level", but he looks like he's about 15 in that picture.

April 16, 201511 yr Found out why Aaron Bummer wasn't assigned. Had elbow surgery to remove bone spurs and floating bodies (NOT TJ). Asking him when he thinks he'll return, no response yet.
