It\u2019s \u201cgo time\u201d for the Chicago White Sox and \u201ctake two\u201d for the Chicago Cubs.<\/p>\n

The White Sox have several roster decisions to make ahead of Thursday\u2019s season opener against the Los Angeles Angels at Rate Field. Nagging injuries to the likes of infielder Josh Rojas (hairline fracture in his big right toe) add wrinkles to the process.<\/p>\n

The Cubs have a couple of decisions as well after opening the season with two losses in Japan, notably whether to keep Vidal Bruj\u00e1n or Rule 5 draft pick Gage Workman as the extra infielder and Brad Keller in the bullpen. Tyson Miller\u2019s injury should open the door for Keller, and the Cubs should make their final decision on Bruj\u00e1n or Workman soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we have to (wait long),\u201d manager Craig Counsell said. \u201cIt\u2019s a time of roster activity around the industry, so you do tend to wait because of that, right?<\/p>\n

Cubs can\u2019t stop praising Tokyo<\/h4>\n

The trip to Tokyo left a lasting impression on the Cubs players and Counsell, from the 40,000-plus fans on hand for batting practice to the presence of Shohei Ohtani\u2019s face wherever they went.<\/p>\n

\u201cI assumed he\u2019d be everywhere, and he is,\u201d Dansby Swanson said. \u201cHe\u2019s like our Michael Jordan, the craze and the popularity and the desire to want to get a glimpse of him. The whole thing, it\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Japanese traditions, like singing and chanting, were very different from what most major league players are used to, except perhaps for the Latin Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibitions games (against Japanese teams) were really fun, and a great time to see how fans interact with their teams,\u201d Ian Happ said. \u201cIt was a little different for the Dodgers-Cubs games. I think they were trying to be respectful of Major League Baseball, so it was a different atmosphere. It was amazing how much the fan base loves the (Japanese) players that come over (to the United States).<\/p>\n

\u201cBaseball is so big over there, even for us. People outside the hotel wanting autographs, and in the exhibition games there were even some signs for me, which was pretty amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

How do the Japanese teams compare with the majors?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is obviously a lot of talent over there and guys that can really play,\u201d Swanson said. \u201cThe fundamental side of things, they\u2019re just as good as anybody over here. The biggest thing you\u2019d have to do to create an even comparison is the ball, which obviously is different. But I have no doubt there are plenty of guys over there that could play over here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sox prospects, including 2024 first-round pick Hagen Smith, took a lot away from the spring.<\/h4>\n

Several prominent members of the Sox future got their first taste of major-league camp for a portion of this spring.<\/p>\n

That includes pitchers Hagen Smith and Noah Schultz, who were eventually reassigned to minor-league camp on March 6. The left-handers achieved another first on Saturday, starting both parts of split-squad games.<\/p>\n

Smith, the team\u2019s first-round pick in 2024, allowed six runs (five earned) on three hits with five walks and one strikeout in 2 1\/3 innings against the Seattle Mariners at Camelback Ranch.<\/p>\n

\u201cBody felt good, just mechanics again, kind of something off,\u201d Smith said after the game. \u201cJust kind of missing with my fastball. I don\u2019t usually do that, but it\u2019s all right.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething in the lower half just messes everything up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schultz also displayed some wildness Saturday, allowing three runs (two earned) on one hit with five walks and three strikeouts in 1 2\/3 innings against the Colorado Rockies at Salt River Fields.<\/p>\n

Smith made three Cactus League appearances (one start), finishing with an 8.44 ERA, five strikeouts and eight walks in 5 1\/3 innings. Schultz, the team\u2019s first-round pick in 2022 from Oswego East, also had three Cactus League outings (one start). He had a 3.86 ERA, four strikeouts and eight walks in 4 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Smith took plenty away from the entire spring experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was awesome to be in big-league camp, obviously didn\u2019t throw the way I wanted to,\u201d he said. \u201cCould have thrown way better, should have thrown way better. But it\u2019s all right. Hopefully next year I\u2019ll get the same opportunity and do better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith is excited for whatever minor-league assignment is ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking forward to getting better,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI have a lot to improve on, obviously. Just go out there and try to improve and get better every week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Number of the week: .172<\/h4>\n

    After the Dodgers series, the Cubs start with another big test in Arizona, including opening day starter Corbin Burnes. Chairman Tom Ricketts conceded the Cubs are the team to beat in the National League Central.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThat\u2019s fair,\u201d Counsell said. \u201cI agree in the sense that our expectations should always be (to make) the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Jameson Taillon, who starts Game 2 in Arizona on Friday, said it\u2019s probably better to start by facing some of the league\u2019s elite teams.<\/p>\n

    \u201cYou see it in college football sometimes,\u201d he said. \u201cSome teams will have like easy-cake schedules and stomp people. And then when they get tested, it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, (bleep),\u2019 we have a lot to work on. Then you also see teams that test themselves early and might lose a close game and then really get a lot better for it as the season goes on. We have the opportunity to show, one, that we can play with these teams, and also, if anything gets exposed early, I\u2019d rather have it now than later so you can address it and clean it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Counsell declined to reveal his feelings on the strength of the NL Central, which is not considered one of the better divisions with ongoing rebuilds in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati and few key additions by St. Louis or Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

    \u201cPrognosticating that stuff is somewhat useless,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s weaker is the best way to say it. There certainly are some strengths with every team and some weaknesses with every team, just as every team has\u2026 except for maybe one.\u201d<\/p>\n

    That one, of course, is the Dodgers.<\/p>\n

    Week ahead: White Sox<\/h4>\n

      Andrew Vaughn always looks forward to the atmosphere of opening day.<\/p>\n

      \u201cEverybody\u2019s excited \u2014 players, fans, everybody involved,\u201d Vaughn told the Tribune on Saturday. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like that first day of school feeling \u2014 it really is.<\/p>\n

      \u201cGetting back and getting to represent the city is always special.\u201d<\/p>\n

      The Sox wrap up spring training with Monday\u2019s Cactus League finale against the Athletics at Camelback Ranch. Opening day is Thursday against the Angels at Rate Field.<\/p>\n

      Vaughn said the biggest goals during camp for hitters are getting the timing back, seeing pitching and preparing to withstand a full season.<\/p>\n

      \u201cIt definitely takes a few at-bats,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201cYou can do everything in the offseason \u2014 cage stuff, BP. But you\u2019ve really got to get in the box and face live pitchers. Once you get a few at-bats under your belt, it starts to form back together.\u201d<\/p>\n

      The next step is taking the work from Glendale to Chicago.<\/p>\n

      \u201cThe spring has been good,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of good baseball from everybody. It\u2019s been great.<\/p>\n

      \u201cDefinitely excited to get to Chicago. It\u2019s going to be a little chilly, that\u2019s for sure. Definitely a weather change. Very excited for that (start to the season).\u201d<\/p>\n
