June 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 09:10 PM) Thank god. I've been calling for this since the day we signed him. I know this Dave guy broke the news on Shields . Did he also call the Morneau signing ?
June 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 11:15 PM) Does that mean Timmy up? User Actions Follow Brian Bilek @BrianBilek_ Take it FWIW, I asked around if Tim Anderson is joining the team tomorrow and I got no responses. I usually get responses. #WhiteSox
June 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 11:15 PM) I know this Dave guy broke the news on Shields . Did he also call the Morneau signing ? He had bad info in the offseason but he has been decent this year. Not sure re: Morneau
June 10, 20169 yr Wow, it makes a lot of sense to cut ties with Rollins. Even if we don't call up Anderson, Rollins is a horrible fit for our bench in all honestly. Would rather have Sanchez as our backup IF than Jimmy. Hopefully there is some truth to this.
June 10, 20169 yr I wasn't a fan whatsoever of this signing. My opinion was if he can prove he can still play, play him. Well I'd rather have good defense in Saladino and not a great bat than both a bad bat and glove with Jimmy. At least we can save some runs with Tyler. Please let this be true.
June 10, 20169 yr Anderson's offense + Saladino's defense = all-star shortstop If only we could play them at SS at the same time!

June 10, 20169 yr This probably means nothing, but Tim Anderson's Facebook profile lists his career as "Chicago White Sox shortstop"
June 10, 20169 yr Don't think Anderson's coming up. He's kind of cooled off the last 2+ weeks. More likely, Sanchez slots back into that utility role, unless it's Jason Bourgeois instead. Nice to FINALLY see some sense of urgency...with speculation about Burdi possibly joining the pen late in the year as well. Avi Garcia or Alex Avila the next to go, although they might have a difficult time finding a 2nd catcher who can actually hit his weight.

Could be a terrific pinch runner for us (but then again so could Anderson)

Avila if the Sox can trade for LuCroy which I think is a long shot However #YouNeverKnow. Avila has had his share of concussions has he not ? Edited June 10, 20169 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
June 10, 20169 yr They need to make moves if they expect fans to keep turning out By July, when the Bears start camp, the chatter will be all Cubs and Bears.

June 10, 20169 yr My guess would be Sanchez comes up before Anderson, but the fact that Anderson didn't play today is eating at that confidence.
June 10, 20169 yr Cut Rollins now. Go with Saladino and see what we've got. If he sucks, who cares? Release him in September if he blows. Rollins needs to start his coaching career.
June 10, 20169 yr whitesoxdave @barstoolWSD 5m5 minutes ago Chicago, IL Waiting on confirmation of Anderson getting the call and Rollins being DFAd whitesoxdave @barstoolWSD 4m4 minutes ago Chicago, IL That said, I feel confident it will be announced tomorrow. Not a guarantee

Not a guarantee Confident of both or Rollins being DFAd? Hmmm Could be fun times with the Royals coming in. I think Anderson would do fine hitting 9th, just not sure about the defense

I think Anderson would do fine hitting 9th, just not sure about the defense Well I presume he is mostly referring to Anderson call-up, which would have to mean a Rollins DFA.
June 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 12:28 AM) Keith Law was on ESPN 1000 yesterday, and basically said the opposite. With Anderson lacking any type of real patience, he worries about him hitting at this level right now, not as much about the defense. Just FWIW. Not saying he would be hitting .300 or close to what he is in AAA but think he can provide similar stats to Saladino/Rollins
June 10, 20169 yr Finally. Push them chips in boys. Beyond time for some accountability ( as we all know ).
