Guest JimH Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 No big surprise here, and alluded to in today's Tribune by KW ... Levine's take on the last two roster spots is that both Ozuna and Harris will make the team. This is not how I thought it would go but as spring training has unfolded it played out that way. He didn't talk about the pitching staff but didn't think there'd be any surprises. 14 position guys, 11 pitchers. I see it playing out like this: Catcher: Pierzynski and Davis 1B: Konerko and Gload 2B: Iguchi and Harris SS: Uribe 3B: Crede, Ozuna as utility OF: Podsednik, Rowand, Dye, Perez DH: Everett Pitchers: Buehrle, Garcia, Hernandez, Contreras, Garland, Takatsu, Hermanson, Marte, Vizcaino, Politte, Cotts *************** On the outside looking in: Burke, Widger, Adkins, Walker Then, the big decision comes when Thomas comes back. As the roster stands, the team is lacking a right handed hitter off the bench. It's very possible they looked at Ozuna and felt he could be a decent righthanded pinch hitter. We'll see within a week how it shakes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Timo could be really expendable when Thomas comes back. Gload and Harris both play the OF as does Everett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Timo makes a million bucks. Plus they love him for some reason. Now I realize that one million is not a lot to dump for some-it may be though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live outside of Chicago, and when I looked into getting DTV, I was told that the games would be blacked out outisde of Chicago and that I would have to buy the MLB package to get the games.

Yes I am getting the "live " ST games but for some reason am not getting the rebroadcast. Like right now Comcast is blank because they blackout the rebroadcast of the game. That in itself is rather odd because when I first signed up to Comcast early in ST I saw a rebroadcast. Shortly after that all rebroadcasts have been blacked out.

Jabroni Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) Bruce LeVineLine was on Comcast SportsNet Chicago today and he said that we should expect the following roster moves tomorrow... Joe Borchard Jamie Burke Kevin Walker Jon Adkins LeVineLine also said that Ozzie didn't have the heart to tell Adkins he didnt make the team so he made Kenny do it. So it looks like our 25-man roster for opening day will be: Rotation: Buehrle Garcia Contreras El Duque Garland Bullpen: Cotts Hermanson Marte Politte Shingo Vizcaino Catchers: Davis Pierzynski Infielders: Crede Gload Willie Iguchi Konerko Ozuna Uribe Outfielders: Dye Everett Timo Podsednik Rowand Edited March 30, 2005 by Jabroni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Widger still hanging in there I guess. Who else? I think every other fringe guy will have been sent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
