BlackSox13 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) I think Sanchez starts out the year locked in at second and Johnson has time to get more polished in AAA. I'm thinking the same thing. Let Johnson and Leury play 2B/SS at Charlotte to start the season in 2016. If the Sox need them they are only a phone call away. Let Saladino be the backup to Gillaspie, Alexei and Sanchez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 QUOTE (shysocks @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) 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. i like it, actually that is a nice slogan for a commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulokis Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 08:20 AM) 0 chance at this point. We're trying to win this year, Alexei isn't going anywhere. Asdrubal Cabrera. Most likely it will be Sanchez with Micah waiting on the wings. Then when Johnson is ready, Sanchez can be the utility infielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I really think it's Micah Johnson, especially with Hahn stressing the need for the team to be more athletic. It sure seemed like when they got rid of Beckham last year, Johnson was the player they wanted to see (injury prevented it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I think it's very likely that we get a Johnson vs. Sanchez battle in spring training. And quite frankly, I think this is Johnson's job to lose. He has a chance to be a dynamic offensive player and offers plus range at 2B. He obviously has a ways to go on the defensive side of the ball, but the physical ability is there to be an above average defender and I think spending a year alongside Alexei could do him some good. I'd much rather roll the dice on Micah next year than give 600 plate appearances to Sanchez, who offers very limited upside with the bat. Carlos profiles much better as a reserve infielder and that's exactly how we should use him next year unless Johnson looks completely worthless in spring training.

TheFutureIsNear Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I think Sanchez gets a little underrated. Not saying he's going to be great or anything but I can see him hitting something like .270/.330/.380, which will be fine if he plays a + 2B.

Sanchez is only 22 years old and by some, is already written off as a super sub back up type. I think Sanchez's game is better than its given credit for. Personally, I like Sanchez's overall game better than Johnson's and I'm hoping its Sanchez playing second everyday for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 It's obvious Micah's presence made the Sox mighty comfortable in getting rid of Semien. So Micah ... fulfill the promise Hawk has for you NOW. Should be nice to have him in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Probably a 3 way battle in the spring between Sanchez, Garcia, and Johnson. Johnson is clearly the guy they would want to win the job, but he may not be ready. Garcia was not a MLB caliber player this past season, and Sanchez doesn't seem to be anything special. Too many outs still in this lineup, including 2B, 3B, LF and C. This is a position that will have to be addressed from within. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's weird it was never completed. Maybe after the Rule 5 on Thursday they can get that done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Sanchez is a stud defender at 2b fromwhat we saw in his cameo and minor league reports. There's worse things than a 1 war defense first 2b especially given the teams revamped pitching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I think they let Sanchez take it out of the gate and give him a similar leash as Semien last year, all the while giving time for Micah to prove his health and get some more polish at AAA.

SoxAce Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I love Sanchez so I hope he impresses. I'm a Micah fan too though, but I've like Sanchez since I watched him in the futures game couple years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
