Noonskadoodle Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Not really big but nevertheless a move. Could provide some power if somebody was to go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockin Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 He would be a nice bat off the bench if we could find a spot for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 He has barely played at the major league level since 2007. I think we are looking at the starting 1b for Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 11:13 AM) He has barely played at the major league level since 2007. I think we are looking at the starting 1b for Charlotte. And I think this may signal that any slim chance Christian Marrero had of starting at 1B in Charlotte, and therefore any slim chance he had to eventually make the Sox, has vanished. Not really a surprise, just thought it was worth pointing out. Unless they see Marrero as an OF. More likely they just don't see him as anything at all.

That's good to know because some of the Sox forums around are absolutely ridiculous. Glad to finally be in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson would be our only lefty off the bench and can only play 1B. I just don't see how that works with six right-handed regulars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how that works with six right-handed regulars. If we didn't have anyone else who could cover 1b I'd be more interested, but we can stick either Dunn or Lillibridge there and still survive when PK14 needs a day.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 So, the White Sox are still the only team not to sign anyone to their major league team this offseason, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I love the off season. I actually spent a moment or two thinking about Don Johnson. Miami Vice was a decent, and entertaining show. The warm pastel colors and pink flamingos made me think of spring in a much nicer way than thinking about this team heading into spring. I'm just not feeling the excitement yet.
