Matt Davidson not in the Charlotte lineup tonight. The White Sox won't go with two bench position players available for long.

If he can hit better than Avi, I'm down. Gives us flexibility with Frazier and Abreu.

Was told today that Matt Davidson was knocking on the door and could be called up soon by the White Sox. FYI. https://t.co/brvy6mEYaY

Good for Davidson. It didn't look good that he would get back to the big leagues. Hope he makes the most of it.

Hate to say but davidson could be putting up Frazier numbers with the power and low average and be better then avi

I am anxious to see him. Coats going down maybe

Rick Hahn really pulling out all the stops...or putting nails in his own coffin.

 

Pretty difficult for Hahn not to be (especially) personally invested in Davidson's numbers, since he and Avi were once touted as key additions to the young core of pitching going forward.

I would imagine that Purke goes down. I'd call up Davidson and Bourgeios or Leury and send Avi down too.

Absolutely rooting like hell for this kid.

Same. Still young enough to be a good part of this team.

For sure. I don't have high hopes to be honest but he can't be worse than some of the crap we've been running out there. Lets give it a shot.

Not really any possible way for him to be worse than 70% of our s*** lineup so why not

Yeah, Bourgeios/Leury definitely deserve a shot this year too, mainly the former

I expect strikeouts, and lots of them, but hope he's successful nonetheless

Frazier is more of a power guy than Davidson

@CST_soxvan Purke optioned. Corresponding move tomorrow.

If Davidson comes up and hits, I wonder if he could learn a corner outfield spot? he does have a big arm and is fairly athletic.

My money is on Kahnle

@scotgregor #WhiteSox option reliever Matt Purke to Class AAA Charlotte. Opens door for 3B/1B/DH Matt Davidson to join club tomorrow

They only have 2 bench guys. It'll be Davidson

I forgot about melky

Davidson should be comfortable coming up now with Anderson here and doing well. Make it a healthy competition.

OK get rid of Lawrie and it'll be Davidson at third, Anderson at short, Saladino at second and Frazier DH.

That's a start. Saladino and Davidson and Anderson have a fighting chance.

Greg, did Alton from Midnight Special just mesmerize you with a blinding white light?

 

Coats/Shuck/Garcia deserve scorn before any is aimed at Lawrie. He's been pretty decent. He's definitely not the primary reason we're not above a .500 club.

Yes, get rid of Lawrie. Brilliant idea. It's not like he's second in fWAR among our position players or the hottest hitter on the team right now or anything. But yes, let's get rid of him so we can play Matt Davidson and Tyler Saladino.
