If they plan on taking another pitcher, I hope to god that it is not Turner.

 

 

They will try to sneak Turner through waivers at the very end of camp with the goal to have him start in Charlotte. He makes $1.5 million though. I doubt anyone claims him.

I will say he hasn't given anyone reason to claim him. He has been awful this spring.

Sure sucks for Davidson and C. Sanchez. Both had great springs. Just no room for them.

The "problem" is, that they're keeping an extra RP for the first month of the season and it limits the bench.

 

It would be helpful if teams had 26 man rosters these days.

While it does suck...you can tell both these guys really put the work in this off season...and it's not a bad problem to have if you have to send guys down that had the Springs they had. And on the plus side...they'll get consistent at bats instead of minimal PT.

Carlos Sanchez, one of several players to talk to manager today, has a team-high 54 at-bats this spring. Hitting .333/.368/.593.

 

Hope he gets another extended shot in MLB, if not with us than with somebody else. He will end up being a significantly better player than he showed last year.

He is so young. He has plenty of time to make his mark. Historically, he usually comes back much stronger during his second go around at a level.

#WhiteSox down to 31 players in camp. In-house battle for last man is down to: Jerry Sands, Travis Ishikawa or possibly 13th pitcher.

It can't be Sands. You either carry Sands or Avi. Both are redundant.

White Sox reassigned OF Jason Coats to Minor League camp

White Sox optioned INF Matt Davidson, INF Leury Garcia, RHP Tommy Kahnle and INF Carlos Sanchez to Class AAA Charlotte;

Aww shucks.

So the Sox should just ignore the 1141 plate appearances Davidson has made in AAA the past 2 years where he barely hit .200 and struck out more often than Adam Dunn, and base a roster spot on the 44 plate appearances he made this spring in games that don't count.

 

No one really can be serious, right?

 

Send him to Charlotte. If he's worth a roster spot, he will show he's worth a roster spot.

I agree. Make him earn his way onto the roster.

i agree..... he needs to earn his shot again, 1/2 season or more to see if he can keep this up. have him learn 1b and an OF position. make him more valuable, esp if he does come around.
