SoxBlanco Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) I figured it would be nice to have a place to discuss who makes the 26 man, as well as what we think the opening day lineup will be. If Engel is healthy, Vaughn is still out, and we face a lefty (Rodriguez), this is my guess at the opening day lineup: Leury SS Robert CF Abreu 1B Grandal C Eloy LF Moncada 3B Harrison 2B Engel RF Burger DH Edited March 28, 2022 by SoxBlanco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdGen Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) I know Anderson was initially suspended three games, and he appealed. I never saw where the appeal was completely denied by the league (or any result of the appeal). I can't find anything on the internet about the appeal. I kind of expected the suspension to be a little shorter after the appeal as the umpire initiated the contact. Is it definitely three games or is the appeal still pending?

Tnetennba Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 With Vaughn on the shelf for a bit, I foresee Micker making the OD roster and sticking until roster contract back to 26 or until they find a home for him, be it trade or trying to slip him through waivers.

Yeah, that lineup was my guess if we face a lefty. If it's a RHP, then here is my guess (also assuming Vaughn is out): Leury SS Robert CF Abreu 1B Moncada 3B Grandal C Eloy LF Sheets DH Harrison 2B Engel RF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
