ChiSox59 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Is 2B and the 9 hole now Micah Johnson's job to lose? Or will it just come down to who performs better in ST between Johnson and Sanchez? Clearly the SOX really like one of them, unless they have a 1 year stop gap in mind.

lasttriptotulsa Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 My guess is that the job is Johnson's to lose. They seem to be really high on him and if he shows anything in spring training, I think he gets the job. I just don't think Sanchez will ever have the stick to be an everyday player.

BaconOnAStick Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) I'd prefer Sanchez start, he's slappy enough to be effective at the bottom of the order and his glove really impressed me last season. Micah off the bench, pinch hitting and filling in when at 2B when Sanchez moves around the IF. As far as I'm concerned we are really just waiting for Anderson.

harfman77 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Not to sounds like a broken record, but I wouldn't write off the possibility of them pursuing Cuban Jose Hernandez to fill that spot once he is declared a FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah should not be on the bench, if he is not starting, he needs to be playing everyday in AAA. Saladino is your backup off the bench. Micah needs more seasoning in AAA this season, but could be valuable as a mid season call up or trade chip to get the Sox over the hump/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think his ceiling is a poor man's Jarrod Dyson (except an IF instead of OF) anyways. His running off the bench could really help the big league team this year, but putting him out there at 2nd really messes up the D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Seriously though, it seems that everything has pointed at the Sox organization being in love with Micah for a while now, I think he's your starting 2b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Micah has been talked about as a possible top 100 prospect. They might give him some more time in AAA but at some point he is no doubt the second baseman of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Hawk crushed on him all year. I don't think he's ready though. It might not be pretty. Get Bonifacio. He's Bona-FEE-day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Semien on this roster we really do have a need for Sanchez on the bench, unless we want Leury on the big league roster again.

Most good teams have at least one rookie to break in. I think that's why last year was a "re-bulding" year. The Sox knew they were going to have a number of rookies and wanted to see what they had. The hitters, Abreu, Eaton, showed well. The bullpen pitchers not so much hence the additions in the pitching staff. This year they cn compete with the one rookie in the lineup.

chw42 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'd like the Sox to take a look at Lowrie. He wasn't real good last year, but I've always liked his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 No The Royals can keep him and his 34 year old declining .632 OBP. If his OBP is .632, I'm totally OK with it declining a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
