ChiSox59 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 27, 2017 -> 12:40 PM) Asche is on a minor league contract, so the Sox have to make room for him on the 40-man. I know Asche has played well, but they can always get him up before the end of April too. If he makes it, it's not that big of a deal either, just that it's easier to control Asche than others who are out of options. Right, but the only one that really makes sense is Liriano. And he's been bad this spring, and Rabbit has said he Sox want to work with him down in AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Not to remain totally negative, but a.) Sox are going to get no hit this season, maybe more than once. b.) I expect this to be our worst offensive team in the modern era. Those of you rooting for losses are gonna get them. Seriously, with our bullpen as bad as it is and our offense on track to be the worst in the AL, are we gonna lost 115 games? I think 100 losses is a given, how many more is the question.

flavum Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 A little surprised Luebke didn't make it as a second lefty, but it's a long season. Chances are he'll be one of the 25 pitchers the Sox use this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Harold Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Dan Hayes @CSNHayes now W/ Carlos Rodon & Juan Minaya starting on DL and Zack Burdi headed to Triple-A, leaves 12 pitchers for 12 spots. Means Swarzak/Ynoa are on. Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 11s Caveat of course is there's always poss someone gets DFA'd that #WhiteSox have interest in. That's why they wait til Sun to announce moves.

flavum Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 When Asche, Soto, and Swarzak get added, somebody has to be dropped from the 40-man. Liriano DFA probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Not sure if they know if Tilson is going to be out that long. If so, yes, they could put him on the 60-day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, yes, they could put him on the 60-day. If he is going to be in a boot for 3 weeks, he isn't going to be ready to play for at least 3 or 4 weeks after that, if everything goes well, which would be a change for him. Let him take his time and add a week or 2 to the process. It isn't like he is Mike Trout and the Sox need him ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but they'd still have to take him off the DL when he's ready, and call his minor league games a rehab assignment. We just don't know what they're thinking right now.

tray Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 1. Anderson SS 2. Saladino 2B 3. Abreu 1B 4. Cabrera LF 5. Frazier 3B 6. A.Asche /Avi Garcia RF platoon 7. DH Delmonico/ Garcia DH platoon 8. Narvaez/ Soto platoon 9.Jacob May CF Bench: Yolmar Sanchez Leury Garcia Delmonico ---------------------------- Delmonico would be useful as a LH DH and pinch hitter. The Sox have a couple of guys who can play third base to back-up Frazier- Saladino, Yolmar Sanchez, Leury Garcia, so they don't need another 3rd baseman. I'd like to see Ashe and Delmonico in the line-up vs. RH pitching, and eventually Moncada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Delmonico will make his way up sometime, but not now. Davidson made the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, and I understand why. . I just don't see how Davidson will be that useful as long as the Sox have Frazier at third base. We really need a LH bat with power at DH. Perhaps Davidson will hit RH pitching and be effective as a DH. Otherwise, he is not going to be getting much playing time and might be the first guy who is sent down or released. I hope I am wrong about that player, who appears to be a nice person who has paid his dues to get on the major league roster . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess that's true. That injury probably willl keep him away until June, and he's going to have to play his way to Chicago anyway, so they could 60-day DL him. We'll know soon.
