White Sox roster set; back-up catcher still to be determined;Owens cut(YES!)

UPDATE: Corkey Miller named back-up catcher

The White Sox made more cuts today, almost finalizing their 25 man roster. These cuts included Owens, Marquez, Broadway, Egbert, Williams, and Kroeger. Owens was told he was put on waivers. Also announced today, Dawayne Wise was named the Opening Day Center Fielder. I do not agree with this move, I believe Brian Anderson should have gotten the job, as he does everything better than Wise except speed.

Here is how the roster looks:

Colon Deal Gives Sox Depth

Bortolo Colon pitched a total of 194.2 innings over the last three years. Before this signing, the Sox were going into Spring Training with Aaron Poreda, Jeff Marquez, Clayton Richard, and Lance Broadway all battling for the final 2 spots in the rotation. Although only pitching next to nothing the last couple years, I feel more confident with Colon Heading into Spring Training than I do with the set of young pitching vying for the last 2 spots in the rotation. Colon, last year, made a total of 7 starts with an ERA of 3.92. What was suprising is the velocity on his fastball reached 95 MPH which shows that he still has the arm, if he can keep it healthy. This is a good signing for the Sox, as it was only a minor league deal and gves the club depth. Colon should report to Spring Training healthy.
