Not April Fools. So they don't have anyone on their bench that hits well vs RHP. Doesn't make sense. Also means Avisail Garcia will be playing every day. Gross.

Bob Sacamano Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Guessing they'll give Avi every day at bats with Melky/Sands platoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysocks Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Sands and Avi are the same player. Take one or the other. Hope a move is in the works because this is a little odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Wonder if Ishikawa stays in the org, or does he have the option to become a free agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I don't really like this move. He hit .188 in Spring. That's not why I don't like it, but he didn't exactly earn his spot either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I don't understand. Lonely coming soon to take this spot maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Is this official or just going by the website? The website has been incorrect for a couple of days. Although that Sands fan may have inside info. I just think it you are going by the 25 man roster on the website, it's wrong. They still have that minor league LHP on there.

They still have that minor league LHP on there. That was my thought, too. I guess we'll have to wait and see for the official word. It just seems strange to not take the LH bat in Ishikawa...not that he's the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 So we're carrying 6 outfielders in Cabrera, Jackson, Eaton, Garcia, Shuck, and Sands when most teams carry 4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 1, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) Very surprised they didn't choose the lefty. My guess is one will be on the roster within a couple weeks. I mean, when is Sands going to play? They're not going to bench Avi against LHP or Melky to get him starts..

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 This is NOT official, and I am not sure it is even likely. That active roster also includes Alex Katz. He may get the job, but there is nothing definite at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 A quick Google search brings a SoxNet article reporting this is true, but nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I don't see the objection. They have 2 bench bats (plus Saladino): one hits left, once hits right. Saying there are 6 OF v 4 on others is deceptive, as those 6 OF also cover DH and backup 1B. I guess in total there is a righty tilt, but the lefty choices weren't there; and they can always make a change.

flavum Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 So he's just one of 25 guys on the 40-man still alive for the final roster, and that's it? Premature article then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 1, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) He's listed on the 25 man. Correct. Out of everyone on the 40-man, which there are 38, I believe...13 of those guys have been optioned down. So there are 25 guys left, plus the non roster guys alive for the last spot- Ishikawa, Aumont, Sanchez, and May. It's Sands or Ishikawa, but nothing looks settled here at all, unless that one guy I mentioned tweeted something based on knowing the family, and not just seeing the one article.

Also, it's looked like that for days. It's not a finalized roster, yet. Sands has probably as much of a shot as Ishikawa, but certainly nothing is official yet.

I'll gladly eat crow if Sands isn't the 25th man, though the article has been altered to reflect the unofficial nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 That Katz thing is just a mistake. There are 37 players on the 40-man. 12 of them have been optioned down--Beck, Brennan, Carroll, Johnson, Kahnle, Webb, Ynoa, Smith, Davidson, L Garcia, C Sanchez, Fields. So 25 of the 40-man are technically "Active", plus the four NRIs- Aumont, H Sanchez, Ishikawa, and May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
