The White Sox made 13 roster moves today. Nothing out of the ordinary here but I’ll recap it for you.

Optioned INF Matt Davidson, C Adrian Nieto, INF Tyler Saladino, C Kevan Smith and OF Trayce Thompson to Class AAA Charlotte.

Optioned RHP Raul Fernandez and RHP Michael Yona to Class AA Birmingham.

Reassigned INF Dan Black, INF Andy LaRoche, RHP J.D. Martin, OF Jared Mitchell, INF Tim Anderson and RHP Tyler Danish to minor-league camp.

White Sox now have 51 players remaining in major-league camp: 30 pitchers, four catchers, 11 infielders and six outfielders.

Again, nothing shocking. Nieto has shown good things so far and I like the move to Triple-A because he’ll get more playing time there than he would behind Flowers in the MLB. There’s nothing to gain from sitting on the bench versus getting at-bats every day.

Matt Davidson was supposed to be the 3rd Basemen of the future but he hasn’t quite lived up to the hype. All hope isn’t lost yet, but I just miss the days of having a solid guy at the hot corner like Joe Crede. Plus, Conor Gillaspie had a great year in 2014 and I hope it carries over to 2015. I don’t want another question mark over at third base like we have at second.

Trayce Thompson hit a bomb earlier this week and he’s showing good things in the field. I’d love to see him make a statement in a White Sox uniform. Nothing better than competent fielders in the outfield, unlike Viciedo and De Aza. Plus, it’s cool that he’s Klay Thompson’s brother. The Thompson family is filled with athletes, I’m sure their parents are proud.
