The White Sox are notoriously late with these. Last year the rosters were being finalized as the first games were starting (which would be Thursday).

 

Sucks when I have to write the damn affiliate previews without rosters, haha. Taking my best guesses with a big board spreadsheet I'm putting together.

 

I've got Charlotte pretty much pegged, thanks to some help from a Charlotte Observer beat writer. A couple pitching slots are still questions, in part based on if EJohnson starts on DL. But here is what I have for Charlotte at this point, which is solid except for two slots:

 

Starters...

Kevan Smith

Dan Black

LGarcia**(CS)

Tyler Saladino

Matt Davidson

Trayce Thompson

Engel Beltre

Jared Mitchell

Neftali Soto

 

Bench...

Rob Brantly ©

George Kottaras ©

Juan Diaz

Matt Tuiasosopo

 

SPs...

Carlos Rodon*

Chris Beck

Scott Carroll

Brad Penny

Shawn Haviland

 

RPs...

Daniel Webb

Jairo Ascencio

Arcenio Leon

Maikel Cleto

Onelki Garcia????

Zach Phillips*

Jarrett Casey*

 

DL: Jesse Crain, Erik Johnson

 

The ones with ???? aren't confirmed yet.

Onelki Garcia????

He's on that Birmingham roster - kind of surprised me.

 

Speaking of Bham, I'm looking for some growth from Myles Jaye this year. AA stymied him, but I think he'll improve.

Can't seem to open that for some reason. Where did you get it? I don't see anything official on their site yet.

 

EDIT: NVM, opened now. Looks like they re-signed Winiarski after releasing him, that's interesting. Also they are double-promoting Danny Hayes? Wow.

This Barons squad looks like maybe the strongest of the full season teams.

 

I am not sure if it is the coaching staff, competition level, or what but it seems like they load up Birmingham every year.

Did you see last season? It was awful.

 

Last year was a bit of a down year, but they did have Micah Johnson and Ravelo for most of the year. It depends on position availability, as a lot of clubs have quadruple A veteran players fitting spots on AAA rosters.

Yeah, but this year it does look stacked.

 

The rotation of AA I am going to love: Montas, Danish, Recchia, Wendelken and Jaye. That should be damn good. Interesting that Blackmer getting the call up in relief. He did well as a starter last year in Baltimore's high A.

From the Barons website, first story on the front page. Hard to miss.

Guys I don't see on the Barons anymore: Tony Bucciferro, Stephen McCray, Michael Ynoa (thought he was optioned there), Braulio Ortiz, Jefferson Olacio, and Terrance Marin.

McCray was released a while ago. Bucciferro is a marginal guy, so not a huge shock. Ynoa is the biggest surprise, along with Olacio. Marin and Ortiz a mild surprise too.

 

But that roster has an open slot too - so one of them, like Ynoa, should be there.

 

I suppose there is also a chance Winiarski isn't really on the club, that his name just bled over, since he was released at one point I thought.

Excellent. Looks like it is the roster for an exhibition, so it's probably subject to a few small changes. They'll need one more guy, as you pointed out.

So Kensing got released I assume? Plus I think you forgot Lindstrom.

Join the club.

 

Maybe it will be today, which would be refreshing. More likely things will finish up tomorrow, if history is a guide.

 

Quick question. Yency Almonte, Kannapolis? What do you think? I'm actually intrigued by his upside.

Trying to figure out the last couple roster spots in BHAM, particularly the starting 3B. They have 13 pitchers, so only a 3-man bench. The scenarios seem to be:

 

--25th man is Nick Basto, starts at 3B, Farrell goes to bench where he usually is

--25th man is Josh Richmond so they have an OF on the bench, Farrell starts at 3B

--25th man is an org guy like Justin Jirschele to help Marcus Lemon cover the field from the bench, Farrell starts at 3B

--25th man is Nick Delmonico, starts at 3B, Farrell goes to bench

 

Those are the only scenarios I can think of. The open slots are 3B and a bench spot, and Michalczewski is going to W-S. Any other possibilities I am missing? Which do you think is likely?

 

I reached out to Basto to see if he can tell me where he's headed, also going to try the other guys I think. See if anyone answers.

Basto is going to Winston (he told me), so he's out. Richmond said he broke his ankle in camp, out until May, so obviously not him.

 

Sent a note to Jirschele, waiting to hear back. Don't have contact info for Delmonico.

 

I like Basto in WS, he'll only be 21 I believe. Are the Sox high on him?
