March 24, 201610 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 09:40 AM) Who says know to Johnson for Bruce with Reds throwing in 4 mil? Me. Don't want any part of Bruce.
March 24, 201610 yr QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 08:41 PM) Me. Don't want any part of Bruce. I'd take him if the price is just Johnson, if he sucks he's gone next year, if he performs maybe you think about picking up his option (13 million for '17) or getting a new deal done. There's a non zero (I'd hazard 1/5) chance he pulls an Adam Dunn and can no longer even hit for .200 in a tougher league but if that happens you just bench him for other options. Price is way more than just Johnson though. Sox would have to include a legit C+ / B- type prospect IMO -- especially if the Reds are paying some freight. Guys like Johnson are a dime a dozen this time of year I'd suspect most orgs have a 5/6 starter type on the 40 man as well they'd offer the Reds for Bruce.

March 24, 201610 yr https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/713029870507298816 More cuts coming today. Just curious, do we know if Scott Hairston ever made it to minor league camp? If he's there, I would've thought he'd come up for an A game once in a while. Edited March 24, 201610 yr by flavum
March 24, 201610 yr Appears to be a few cuts coming today. Tim Anderson's locker was empty. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/713041057529724928

March 27, 201610 yr Fulmer sent down to minor league camp. 36 left. If Sands makes it, the 11 left to be cut are: Carroll, Kahnle, Turner, Aumont H Sanchez Davidson, L Garcia, C Sanchez, Ishikawa Coats, May

March 27, 201610 yr QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 27, 2016 -> 08:42 AM) Depends if they decide to take 13 pitchers He's saying if they decide to take Sands. Sands would likely be 4th bench guy depending on if there is an injury. Only other scenario I see where they take 13 pitchers and Sands is if Shuck doesn't make it.

If they take 13 pitchers then it's shuck, Saladino and one of the catchers is bench.
March 27, 201610 yr While Turner has absolutely bombed in ST, one guy who has quietly been having a great spring is Aumont.
March 27, 201610 yr I mentioned this before, but the only factor I could see the Sox taking 13 pitchers is if rain is in the forecast for Oakland on Wednesday, April 6. Unless I'm missing something with the 26th man rules, if the Wednesday game got rained out and the Sox were forced to play two on Thursday, they would have to do that without a 26th man. Right now, the forecast is cloudy with a chance of rain throughout that series.

Right now, the forecast is cloudy with a chance of rain throughout that series. Yes but only having one day off the entire month of April also plays into factor. If the Sox were fully confident that that starters are going at least 7 innings then you might not need the extra pitcher

March 29, 201610 yr Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 9m9 minutes ago Roster cuts today. Not official but Davidson, Carlos Sanchez, Leury Garcia, Kahnle, Coats appear to be among them.
March 29, 201610 yr That leaves Sands, Ishikawa, Turner, and Aumont amongst the guys still with a chance.

March 29, 201610 yr Is there any rhyme or reason with how many they cut at a time and when? It really doesn't affect the games at all as guys they have sent back do still get in them.

It really doesn't affect the games at all as guys they have sent back do still get in them. The important question is, will they win the Catcus League Championship? Who cares about rosters and regular season nonsense.
