Other highlights:


The Sox won't carry a 12th pitcher unless he's a reliever capable of retiring hitters from both sides of the plate.

They also won't necessarily carry a right-handed hitter such as Eduardo Perez mostly to face left-handers.

John Danks has pitched well enough to move into the lead for the fifth spot in the rotation. Danks will start Sunday against San Diego at Peoria, followed by fellow candidate Gavin Floyd.

Nick Masset has virtually cemented a relief job after briefly being considered as a starter.

"I love Terrero," Guillen said. "There are a lot of guys fighting for a job now. That's why I feel good. The decision will be fun but not easy." Terrero, who is out of options, is perceived as a backup.

It's going to be quite interesting to see what the bench looks like on opening day. Assuming Pods starts the year on the DL they should have Hall, Ozuna, and Cintron for sure. Depending on if they take 11 or 12 pitchers there's room for 1 or 2 more players.

Looks like it could be an interesting battle between Terrero, Mackowiak, Anderson and Perez.

Then what happens when Pods comes back?

This makes sense. As Hawk likes to say: Where would he play? The only lefties in the starting lineup are LF, C, and DH. Ozuna faces lefties in LF, Hall faces lefties at C, and Thome plays almost every day (and I believe his days off are promised to Hall as well).

"I love Terrero," Guillen said.

This is positively frightening. Will he be the new Timo Perez?

I would sure like to see Danks run away with the 5th starter job.

Ozzie always develops man crushes on random Latin players. Meanwhile he hates on milky white guys like Anderson and McCarthy. Go figure. :shrug:
