I expect it’ll be a tandem to start the year until one of the prospects forces the issue. Thaiss isn’t going to block anyone I don’t imagine.

Bob Sacamano Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 4 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: I would think one of the 2 top 100 prospects makes the roster. Yeah I think so too. Both made it to AAA and you want both to be getting regular time behind the plate. Tough to do when they’re both there. Unless you are literally alternating between C/DH every day.

Quero has barely played in AAA and Teel has only played 28 games in AAA and was in rookie ball in 2023, so I hope not. Zero reason to rush these guys for the opening day roster.

WestEddy Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Thaiss has no options remaining, so he makes the team out of spring training, or he takes a walk through waivers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero reason to rush these guys for the opening day roster. +100. Zero reason for either of them to be on the team until mid May at the earliest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago This is why it was kind of weird that the Sox were so insistent on keeping Chuckie Robinson on the roster all last year. It really isn’t that difficult to obtain a no bat backup catcher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn’t that difficult to obtain a no bat backup catcher. He’s got a 93 wRC+ against RHP the last three seasons, which is pretty good for a catcher making just above league minimum. No idea how his defense is or if he’s good working with pitchers. My guess is those traits must not be good based on his salary and this trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the AAA pitchers liked working with him, and they realized they were cutting Maldonado and promoting some of those pitchers. He's a guy. I can certainly see keeping the status quo and letting people work with familiar catchers in a lost season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Thaiss had a 100 wRC+ vs RHP last year and he’s really familiar with the coaching staff. It’s fine. Quero and Teel both need more time in AAA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
