Andy Gonzalez's Promotion Looks Permanent

Read today in a Winston-Salem newspaper that the Warthogs released Troy Cameron. The move opens up a spot for Andy, which means he's probably sticking around for a while. Personally, letting him play everyday, even if most of the starts come at third is a good idea. Hopefully he takes advantage of the opportunity the Sox are giving him.

Troy Cameron Released

By Jason Gage

The Chicago White Sox released Warthogs third baseman Troy Cameron on Thursday. Cameron was signed by the White Sox this offseason after spending the previous season with the Joliet Jackhammers. Cameron was hitting .230 with 0 HR and 6 RBI in 15 games.

 

The White Sox transferred Tommy Nicholson from Charlotte back to Winston Salem. Nicholson was sent to the Knights last Friday, but never played a game. Nicholson was hitting .176 in eight games for the Warthogs.

 

Our Take:

Cameron was likely released to open up playing time for Andy Gonzalez and Mike Myers. Gonzalez was recently promoted from Kannapolis and predominantly plays shortstop, although he has played 4 games at 3rd for the Warthogs (compared to 2 at short). Myers also plays shortstop, but can play 3rd.

 

However, neither Gonzalez or Myers will see much time at short, where Pedro Lopez starts. Lopez had predominantly played second base in the organization, but has the tools to play shortstop.

 

Chris Amador is the Hogs starting second baseman, but has struggled. In our opinion, the Hogs infield will soon consist of Gonzalez, Myers, Lopez, and Rogowski.
