flavum Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 26, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) I don't get keeping Tolleson and Bell in camp, they aren't getting jobs for OD. Anderson I get, they always keep a 3rd catcher around in AZ. Omogrosso and Troncoso are in the running for Crain's spot if he isn't ready... but Gray? I wouldn't really read into too much. They'll probably be down to 27 or 28 by the time they get on the plane tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they can use minor leaguers in games anyway, and there are players who already know they won't make it barring injury... why the theater? Why bother announcing reassignments at all?

Yeah, I'm not sure what goes into that. Like, why did they option Jordan Danks and Blake Tekotte at the same time, but they've brought Brandon Short and Stefan Gartrell up from minor league since then? Don't know.

I would think so Danks and Tekotte can get regular work in. Gartrell is Triple-A fodder, and Short is behind a long list of guys for a back-up OF spot.

witesoxfan Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Tekotte and Danks are both left handed while Short and Gartrell are both right handed. Worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's tied to their minor league contracts? Perhaps these guys have opt-outs if they're reassigned to minor league camp? If so, I could see holding on to them until the end of camp, even if it's unlikely they'd turn down their minor league assignments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do this to get the minor league teams acclimated together. They keep the extra pitchers to pitch in relief on the 2 days prior the start of the season so they don't use all of the MLB ones.

Sounds like a few guys have nagging injuries, which might be why. I heard Konerko, Rios, De Aza at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Ventura confirmed Crain will be on the roster, so after the game the final 6 cuts will be made--Omogrosso, Troncoso, Gray, Anderson, Tolleson, and Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
